SAP Invests in Avelios Medical to Transform Healthcare IT

On February 25, 2026, SAP announced a strategic investment in Avelios Medical, a company specializing in AI-native hospital information systems (HIS). This investment is part of SAP’s initiative to phase out support for its legacy hospital system, IS-H, in various international markets. As healthcare providers navigate this transition, the partnership aims to establish a next-generation healthcare platform designed for scalable international rollouts.

Avelios Medical, founded in 2020, focuses on creating a data-driven hospital infrastructure that enhances patient management and operational efficiency. The company’s HIS is built on a structured data model that facilitates interoperability and the effective use of artificial intelligence in medical practices. With SAP’s backing, Avelios plans to expand its operational capacity and enhance its delivery capabilities.

“With our investment in Avelios, we are creating the technological foundation for an open, sovereign platform for the healthcare industry,” stated Sebastian Steinhäuser, Chief Operating Officer of SAP SE. He emphasized that the collaboration will enable hospitals to operate a unified, data-driven infrastructure that supports modern care and innovation.

The investment will allow Avelios to leverage SAP’s extensive ecosystem, which includes a network of implementation partners and decades of experience in complex transformation programs. This collaboration is expected to accelerate Avelios’ growth and enhance its market reach.

Christian Albrecht, co-founder of Avelios Medical, remarked, “SAP’s investment is a strong signal for the future of hospital digitization. Together, we are offering a platform that brings medical excellence and modern technology together.” He highlighted the vision of reducing workload and unlocking the value of data in healthcare.

The joint platform will feature an open architecture that is cloud-native, modular, and scalable, ensuring compliance with data governance standards. This initiative represents a significant shift in digital healthcare infrastructure, combining medical quality with technological innovation.

As SAP transitions clients from IS-H to Avelios’ platform, it strengthens its position in the healthcare IT market. The deal is expected to enhance AI capabilities and improve data integration across systems, positioning both companies for future growth in a rapidly evolving industry.

Looking ahead, Avelios and SAP will focus on integrating their technologies and aligning corporate cultures to ensure a smooth transition for current IS-H users. The success of this partnership will depend on market acceptance of the new platform and the ability to navigate regulatory challenges in various markets.
