What HIPPO does

HIPPO is a Czech Republic-based, privately held supplier of information systems and ICT services for healthcare and social care, founded in 1991 and operating from Brno with a staff of 11–50 employees. The company specializes in psychiatric and mental-health documentation workflows that go beyond standard electronic medical records, including protective treatment recording, deposit account management, multidisciplinary team coordination, assessment questionnaires, and reporting to state, regional authorities and donors.

Its core product portfolio consists of two closely related modular systems sharing a common architecture: IS HIPPO (ISpP), designed for inpatient psychiatric facilities and long-term care institutions (Léčebny dlouhodobě nemocných), and PINEL plus, an outpatient variant that extends into ambulatory psychiatry, addictology, psychology/psychotherapy, and combined ambulatory-plus-social-service multidisciplinary teams in Community Mental Health Centers (Centra duševního zdraví). Both products emphasize unified healthcare and social care documentation, performance and statistical reporting, crisis and individual planning tools, and field service support — features built specifically for Czech regulatory and clinical workflows.

HIPPO distributes its systems through a direct sales model (phone and email), serves customers exclusively within the Czech Republic, and supplements implementation with ongoing user support, online seminars on new features, training, and consultations. No pricing is publicly disclosed, and there is no indication of external funding, M&A activity, public listing, or AI/ML capability in the available source material.
