Cardiab, from My experience of some many years ago, was again symptomatic of
the fragmented GP IT horizon. Many GP clinical systems and someone comes
along with a program that runs outside al of them, or at best integrates only
with the biggest player.
May be different this decade.

Weeell... not sure whether too much has changed about industry asking
for external programs that sit alongside/on top/external of a clinical
system. In this space currently - frustrating.
Currently investigating whether it is worth the effort to develop a
diabetes module which has little 'value proposition', except within the
sense of metabolic syndrome. And if not, do GPs want unique clinical
tools which add to their arsenal but which has an impost on workflow.
Past efforts have found niches in how MD manages (poorly) certain
disease states and therefore a DB integrated solution works to some
degree e.g. Cardiab, MOCHA, Eyre Care, etc, etc.
Wondering whether there is an interest in desktop tools which would use
a generic API to talk to the multitude of clinical system DB, to report
casenote information in a longitudinal and visual manner ? Maybe a
visual casenote browser precursor for use within an open source software
system.
