Avelios Medical secures a strategic investment from Software giant SAP The amount of the investment is undisclosed. Both companies are thus jointly advancing the development of a new enterprise healthcare platform. The collaboration is based on a comprehensive technical validation of the joint solution. With this investment, SAP underscores its long-term commitment to the partnership and to a new generation of technology in the hospital sector.
The collaboration stems from the transformation of hospital IT. For more than three decades, many hospitals have used SAP IS-H as their central industry solution for their hospital information systems—the core software with which hospitals manage patient data, documentation, and workflows. However, SAP has announced that it will only support the solution until 2030. Similarly, closely integrated medical documentation software will only receive support until 2035. Many hospitals are therefore facing fundamental technological decisions.
IS-H cancellation puts hospitals under pressure
In the currently rapidly transforming market for hospital software, Avelios is positioning itself as an alternative. The software of Company It can be used independently and integrates seamlessly into existing SAP landscapes.
“With the investment in Avelios, we are creating the technological basis for an open, sovereign platform for the healthcare industry. Together, we are enabling hospitals to have a consistently data-driven infrastructure that facilitates modern care, more resilient processes, and AI-supported innovation.”
says Sebastian Steinhäuser, Chief Operating Officer and member of the Executive Board of SAP SE.
Avelios is primarily investing the capital in expanding its team and in product and delivery structures. At the same time, SAP provides access to a global ecosystem of implementation partners, technologies, and experience from complex transformation projects.
Platform for AI-supported hospital IT
Both partners combine their respective expertise: Avelios contributes clinical process and data architecture, while SAP adds business enterprise integration. This creates a platform that merges clinical and operational processes.
“SAP’s investment sends a strong signal for the future of clinical digitalization. Together, we are creating a platform that combines medical excellence and modern technology. Our vision is a hospital IT system that relieves the burden on healthcare professionals, makes data intelligently usable, and sustainably accelerates innovation in care and research. With SAP at our side, we can advance this transformation to a new level.”
thinks Christian Albrecht, Co-founder of Avelios Medical.
Technologically, the joint solution is based on an open platform architecture. Avelios' AI-native hospital information system forms the central software for clinical workflows and patient data. A structured, semantically consistent data model creates the foundation for automation and the productive use of AI in everyday clinical practice.
