Comparison
Diagnosuya vs Excel and Word
A great many small labs run on Excel for billing and Word for reports. It works, up to a point. This is where that point is.
Diagnosuya suits
Purpose-built lab software for labs that have outgrown manual record-keeping, or that want the clinical safeguards spreadsheets cannot provide.
Excel and Word suits
Spreadsheets and documents for very small or very new labs where volume is low, budget is the binding constraint, and the owner does everything personally.
Side by side
How they compare
Including the rows where the alternative comes out ahead.
| Feature | Diagnosuya | Excel and Word |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | From ₹4,999 a year | Effectively free if you have Office |
| Reference ranges by age and sex | Automatic | Manual, and frequently missed |
| Calculated indices | Derived automatically | Hand-calculated or fragile formulas |
| Duplicate patient records | Detected at registration | Accumulate invisibly |
| Report delivery | Automatic on verification | Print and hand over |
| Dues tracking | Live register with contact details | A notebook, in practice |
| Audit trail | Every action, named and timestamped | None |
| Flexibility for odd requirements | Within the software's model | Complete — it is a blank sheet |
| Business reporting | Built in, live | Possible, but someone has to build it |
| Dependence on one person | None | High — whoever built the sheets |
A tick marks the stronger option for that row. Rows without one are genuinely a matter of circumstance.
Choose Excel and Word if…
- You are brand new, seeing under fifteen patients a day, and every rupee of capital matters
- You are running a trial or short-term operation that will not accumulate records worth keeping
- Your requirements are genuinely unusual and no packaged software fits them
Choose Diagnosuya if…
- You are seeing more than about twenty patients a day and reconciliation has started to hurt
- You have ever released a report with a stale value left over from a previous patient
- Your dues exist mainly as money you have quietly written off
- Your entire record-keeping depends on one person understanding how the sheets work
- You want referral data, which spreadsheets almost never capture consistently
