Hear how implementations really went from people who signed the contracts, before you sign yours.
Know what good costs
Compare budgets, team sizes and renewal prices with peers in your segment and region (benchmarks launch in Phase 2).

Visibility as a leader
Publish articles that can be shared to LinkedIn, X and WhatsApp, speak at roundtables and build a profile peers respect.
Fewer cold calls
Vendors cannot see member lists or message members. You decide who reaches you.

A club, not a marketplace
The club is operated on a not-for-profit basis by Caresoft Foundation. Membership decisions sit with chapter admins who are healthcare technology leaders themselves.
- Vendors and service providers cannot become members.
- Member data is never sold, exported or shared with sponsors.
- Sponsored content is always labelled and never targeted with personal data.
- Patient data is never allowed in any post or message.
Chapters
Members meet online in time-zone slots and in person where a chapter is active.
