Custom-Made CDS with the ArdenSuite
Clinical Decision Support Platform
CDS made with the ArdenSuite is knowledge-based, highly customizable, and can be patient-specific as well as population-specific.
The ArdenSuite Core
Installed without specific clinical content, the ArdenSuite is applicable in every medical discipline. The core of the CDS platform processes the medical content in the form of medical logic modules (MLMs).
The Content
Clinically proven knowledge packages (MLMs) written in Arden Syntax (rules, tables, guidelines, interpretations, reminders, alerts, recommendations, scores, adverse events, or other custom-made content).
The Integration
Connect to any data source (e.g., FHIR resources) or integrate the ArdenSuite into existing IT infrastructure. As stand-alone application or as part of your connected external medical information system.
The ArdenSuite server is validated as SOUP in accordance with IEC 62304—it is verified for application in medical devices.
How it works
The ArdenSuite clinical decision support factory is a unique and versatile solution for creating customized clinical decision support (CDS) and knowledge-based artificial intelligence (AI). Add our ready-to-use medical content modules or create your own, tailor-made CDS solution yourself (or with our help). Integrate the ArdenSuite easily into your existing IT infrastructure, such as hospitals, laboratories, doctor‘s offices, or research and teaching institutions.
We support you every step of the way in creating a custom-built CDS solution that fits your unique tasks and requirements. Initially without specific clinical content, the ArdenSuite can be applied in every medical discipline or can even be used for administrative and quality management applications.
Set up the ArdenSuite
Our content is written in HL7 International’s Arden Syntax standard. It has been developed for clinical contexts and is specifically tailored to support doctors and medical staff in their daily work. Due to the integration of fuzzy concepts, linguistic as well as propositional uncertainty can be taken into account. The integration of fuzzy logic into the Arden Syntax is globally unrivaled. Since Arden Syntax version 3.0, direct access to patient data via HL7‘s FHIR standard is provided.
Moreover, the ArdenSuite can be combined with our ontology system to achieve linguistic bottom-up preprocessing (see details). Set up your ArdenSuite to write and test MLMs, upload and manage these MLMs as part of your projects, and manage data access via our REST API, or FHIR and other extensions.
Add your content
We offer three kinds of medical content options
Add your content in the form of medical logic modules (MLMs) to your ArdenSuite, creating your own, tailor-made CDS solution. We offer the following medical content options for you to use along with the ArdenSuite:
Customized Medical Content by Medexter
Medexter’s team of knowledge engineers works in close cooperation with experienced clinicians. We offer development of custom-built MLMs suited for your hospital’s (or laboratory’s) unique medical tasks and requirements with full support every step of the way.
On-Site Customized Content Development
Our ArdenSuite represents an excellent and easy-to-use tool for you to write and test MLMs. In-house MLM development may have the benefit of close cooperation between your skilled IT department and the clinical staff for whose patient care routine MLMs are written.
Application-Ready Clinical Interpretations
We offer several application-ready content packages that can be used with the ArdenSuite. They provide clinical interpretations of laboratory test results and can be a great asset in clinical routine processes. These MLM packages can be bought along with an ArdenSuite license.

Built for Efficient Integration
The ArdenSuite is designed to integrate seamlessly with leading electronic health record (EHR) systems such as Oracle Cerner’s i.s.h.med, Epic, Philips’ ICCA, Dräger’s ICM, and many more. Thanks to the ArdenSuite REST API and powerful extensions — including FHIR, database, openEHR, CDS Hooks, BPMN, PMML, and others — your applications can connect effortlessly with external systems, data sources, and resources.
Arden Syntax on FHIR
With FHIR rapidly becoming the international standard for healthcare interoperability, the ArdenSuite gives you a future-ready foundation for smooth, standards-based integration across even the most complex hospital IT environments.
This example shows how to seamlessly retrieve up-to-date troponin measurements from a FHIR server, supporting timely alerts for possible myocardial infarction.
Ontology Software & Reasoning
The ArdenSuite can be combined with our ontology system to enable powerful, bottom-up linguistic preprocessing. This combination enhances the processing of medical logic modules (MLMs) by adding semantic depth and structured reasoning. This results in consistent reasoning across heterogeneous sources and facilitates standards-based interoperability, including FHIR, openEHR, and other healthcare environments.
