– Avelios Medical, provider of a modern hospital information system (HIS), has raised €30 million (USD 31.M) in Series A funding led by Sequoia Capital alongside existing investors Revent & HTGF.
– With this funding, Avelios accelerates its mission to become the leading operating system for intelligent patient care.
Avelios Medical: Revolutionizing Hospital Information Systems with AI-Driven Innovation
Founded in 2020 by Christian Albrecht, Nicolas Jakob, and Dr. Sebastian Krammer, Avelios Medical is redefining hospital information systems with its state-of-the-art HIS 2.0. Centered around the treatment process, Avelios’ platform optimizes hospital workflows, minimizes administrative burdens, and seamlessly integrates patient data from admission to billing. Through structured data management and AI-driven innovation, Avelios is paving the way for the future of intelligent healthcare.
The recent investment from Sequoia Capital—an early backer of industry giants such as Apple, Nvidia, Google, Airbnb, and WhatsApp—highlights Avelios Medical’s potential to advance digitization in healthcare. Built entirely from the ground up, Avelios’ hospital information system (HIS) serves as a launchpad for continuous innovation and the effective integration of AI into medical practice.
· Market Opportunity: With SAP exiting the HIS market by 2030, hundreds of German and European hospitals face the challenge of reconfiguring their IT infrastructure, presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance patient care quality and operational efficiency.
· Addressing Critical Challenges: Preventable medication errors result in 65,000 deaths annually in Germany—surpassing road traffic fatalities (Sources: BARMER, WHO). Outdated IT systems, which fail to provide timely and well-structured data, are a primary cause. Additionally, doctors spend over three hours per day on administrative tasks due to inefficient digital systems (Marburger Bund study).
A New Operating System for Intelligent Patient Care
Determined to address these systemic inefficiencies, Avelios’ three founders developed an advanced HIS designed to empower, rather than burden, healthcare professionals. This modern operating system seamlessly integrates with treatment workflows, significantly reducing documentation efforts and enabling secure, structured data management across the entire patient journey. By leveraging structured data, Avelios fully unlocks AI’s potential—enabling innovations such as automated diagnostics.
· Comprehensive HIS Solution: Avelios Medical provides a full-spectrum hospital information system, covering treatment documentation, administrative workflows, billing, and a patient portal.
· Data Security & Compliance: The platform adheres to the highest data protection and security standards, with all data stored in secure European data centers or directly within customers’ infrastructure.
· Modular & Scalable Architecture: A flexible microservice-based architecture allows hospitals to tailor the system to their specific needs, whether implementing it incrementally or as a complete system overhaul.
Industry Recognition & Adoption
Avelios has already become a key component of leading hospitals’ digital transformation strategies. Major healthcare providers, including Sana—one of Germany’s largest private hospital chains with 56 facilities—as well as renowned university hospitals such as Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and Hannover Medical School, have adopted Avelios’ integrated patient portal and software solutions.
Sequoia Capital’s investment further validates Avelios’ long-term vision. “Building a comprehensive hospital information system—including documentation, administration, billing, and patient management—is an ambitious undertaking, but Avelios has delivered precisely that,” said Anas Biad, Partner at Sequoia Capital. “We were impressed by the depth and breadth of their product and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from some of Germany’s largest public and private hospitals. We are excited to support this exceptional team in delivering the modern operating system that healthcare demands.”
