What are HosPortal’s technical and bandwidth requirements?

In short: HosPortal needs only an internet connection and a modern browser; if the hospital firewall is strict, whitelist the hosportal.com domain. Most staff use the native iOS and Android apps or their phone browser, so the load on hospital networks is negligible. This post gives the short list of requirements.

As HosPortal grows, and as we are getting more international enquiries, we occasionally get asked what our minimum technical specifications are.They are very simple. For an administrator or user/doctor to access HosPortal they need:

  • access to the internet
  • a modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer).
  • if there are strict controls over the hospital firewall, the firewall needs to whitelist our “…hosportal.com” domain if they want it to be accessed from in-hospital computers.

That’s about it.We design our software to be usable on reasonably low bandwidth and to minimise as far as possible the data sent between the user and our databases. But about three-quarters of our users access HosPortal from their phone or other mobile device, so do not place a demand on hospital bandwidth at all.
