CAPE TOWN, South Africa, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Heidi, the AI Care Partner for clinicians, today formally launched in South Africa after more than 15,000 clinicians across the country adopted the platform organically.

The launch follows a wave of clinician-led demand, as workforce shortages and mounting administrative burden push healthcare systems toward AI that works inside existing workflows, rather than alongside them.

That demand is now extending beyond individual clinicians into broader system adoption, with organisations including Intercare Group piloting the platform across its network and Fourways Veterinary Hospital deploying it within its clinical teams. Integrations with practice management systems including Practice Perfect and HealthFocus are enabling uptake without requiring changes to existing workflows – an early signal of how clinician-led usage is beginning to shape system-level adoption.

The shift comes as South Africa is projected to face a shortfall of nearly 97,000[1] health workers by 2030, with administrative load[2] a key contributor to burnout, particularly across public hospitals, emergency departments and rural clinics where time is most constrained.

Heidi sits directly inside clinical workflows, automating documentation and routine administrative tasks. The platform meets local healthcare governance and regulatory requirements, supports multiple languages, and works offline in low-connectivity environments.

“Adoption in South Africa has been almost entirely clinician-led,” said Dr Tom Kelly, CEO and co-founder of Heidi. “Doctors are using it in real clinical settings, seeing the impact and recommending it to peers. That is what has driven us to more than 1.5 million consultations each month locally, with weekly active use growing 500% year-on-year.

“Our role now is to support that momentum with local infrastructure and partnerships. Globally, Heidi is already supporting more than 2.5 million consultations each week, and our mission is to double the world’s healthcare capacity. Markets like South Africa, where the workforce gap is most acute, are where that mission matters most.”

“To anchor the next phase of growth, Heidi has appointed Dr Calvin Howard to lead its South African operations, alongside Dr Michelle Yuan to drive customer success and deepen engagement with healthcare teams as adoption grows. Medical doctors by background, Dr Howard will oversee partnerships as adoption expands beyond individual users into healthcare organisations, while Dr Yuan will ensure teams embed Heidi seamlessly into their workflows.

“What stood out immediately was how naturally Heidi fits into South African clinical workflows. Its real impact is removing barriers to care. With support for local languages and offline capability, clinicians can capture every patient interaction, even in rural settings without connectivity. Heidi has taken the time to understand how care is actually delivered here and built accordingly. In a system under real pressure, that kind of practical innovation matters, and I’m proud to be part of improving both the clinician and patient experience.”

Heidi’s expansion into South Africa reflects a broader shift, as AI moves from experimental tooling to core infrastructure within healthcare systems under pressure.

UK vehicle verification service ServiceStamp launches in Germany with manufacturer-direct service history checks for over 43 car brands, priced at €14.99 per report.

BERLIN, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ServiceStamp, a UK-based vehicle service history verification platform, has launched in Germany, making manufacturer-recorded maintenance data directly accessible to German used car buyers for the first time. The service is available at servicestamp.de and priced at €14.99 per report.

Germany represents Europe’s largest used car market, with roughly seven million used vehicle transactions annually. Despite the market’s scale, German buyers have faced the same verification gap that exists across Europe, the industry-wide shift from paper service books to digital records held within manufacturer systems has left most consumers without a practical way to confirm a vehicle’s maintenance history before purchase.

ServiceStamp closes that gap by sourcing service history data directly from Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer databases, the same systems used by authorised dealerships. Reports are delivered within seconds of a vehicle identification number (VIN) being entered, and the service covers more than 43 car brands including Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Ford, Opel and Toyota.

“The shift from paper service books to digital records has left buyers across Europe unable to verify a car’s maintenance history,” said Simon Brown, founder of ServiceStamp. “Germany has the largest used car market in Europe, a strong cultural emphasis on documented service history through the ‘Scheckheft’ tradition, and the biggest verification gap between what consumers want to know and what they can easily access. It’s a natural next market for us.”

A structural shift in used car verification

Most vehicles from Model Year 2012 onwards have service events logged electronically within manufacturer systems rather than stamped into a physical booklet. This has made traditional service books progressively less reliable as proof of maintenance, while official digital records have remained largely inaccessible to anyone outside the franchised dealer network.

The result is a market in which vehicles with genuine full service histories and those with fabricated or incomplete records can look identical to a buyer. Counterfeit service book stamps are widely available online, and fraud involving falsified maintenance records is a recognised problem across the European used car market.

By verifying service data directly against manufacturer databases, ServiceStamp allows buyers to independently confirm whether claimed servicing actually took place at authorised dealerships.

What ServiceStamp reports contain

For supported vehicles, a ServiceStamp report can include manufacturer-recorded service dates and service types, mileage recorded at each service visit, and details of work carried out at franchised dealerships. Buyers can use this data to identify gaps in servicing, validate claimed mileage over time, and cross-check seller representations against official records.

UK launch and expansion

ServiceStamp launched in the United Kingdom in January 2026 and has established a user base among private buyers, sellers, and motor trade professionals. The company’s expansion into Germany marks the first step in a broader European rollout, with additional markets planned over the coming year.

The service is designed for used car buyers verifying history before purchase, private sellers demonstrating verifiable records to support asking prices, dealers and traders appraising vehicles at scale, and vehicle owners recovering service history where paper documentation has been lost.

Availability

ServiceStamp is available now at servicestamp.de in Germany and servicestamp.co.uk in the United Kingdom. Reports are delivered instantly where data is available. A full refund is provided if a report cannot be generated due to technical issues or unsupported vehicles.

About ServiceStamp

ServiceStamp is a UK-based vehicle service history verification platform focused exclusively on official manufacturer dealership records. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Bristol, the company provides access to manufacturer-recorded service data for more than 43 car brands, primarily covering vehicles from Model Year 2012 onwards. The company operates in the United Kingdom and Germany, with further European expansion planned.
