Why choose HerVé over VEGA

VEGA covers several paramedical professions and offers VEGA Tab, a dedicated Surface Pro tablet. HerVé is built exclusively for orthoptists, runs on any browser, and requires no proprietary hardware.

100% web, on all your devices

No install, no VEGA Tab to buy. HerVé runs on Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad and Android — you stay free to choose your hardware.

100% dedicated to orthoptics

Not a multi-specialty software adapted for orthoptists: a software designed for orthoptics and NGAP coding.

Built-in healthcare AI

Reports generated in 2 clicks from consultation data. VEGA does not include native medical AI.

Tap to Pay without hardware

Take card payments with your iPhone or Android. No VEGA Tab or separate POS needed.

Automatic updates

The SaaS updates itself. No more manual operations on each PC, no more version mismatch between practitioners.
