Avelios Medical, provider of a modern hospital information system (HIS), has raised €30 million 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.

The funding from Sequoia Capital, an early backer of companies like Apple, Nvidia, Google, Airbnb, and WhatsApp, underscores Avelios Medical’s potential to drive digitization in healthcare. Entirely built from scratch, its hospital information system provides the launchpad for continuous innovation and the successful use of AI in medicine.

Great Potential

With SAP exiting the HIS market by 2030, hundreds of German and European hospitals must rethink their system landscape. This presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to overhaul hospital IT, elevating the quality of care, and boosting process efficiency.

For example, preventable medication errors claim 65,000 lives each year in Germany alone – outpacing road traffic fatalities (Sources: BARMER, WHO). The cause: outdated IT systems, which too often do not make data available at the right time in the right format. For the same reason, according to a study by Marburger Bund, doctors spend more than three hours a day on administrative tasks.

A new operating system for intelligent patient care

Determined to fi x the root cause, Avelios’ three founders built an entire HIS from scratch – designed to empower doctors and nurses, not burden them. The result: an operating system for intelligent patient care designed to seamlessly align with treatment workfl ows, slashing documentation effort, and connecting data across sectors. By recording structured data along the entire patient journey, Avelios unlock’s AI’s full potential – enabling innovations like automated diagnostics.

Avelios Medical covers the full scope of a hospital information system – from treatment documentation to administrative processes to a patient portal. The platform relies on the highest data protection and security standards. All data is stored exclusively in highly secure data centers in Europe or directly in the customers’ local infrastructure. Thanks to a modular microservice architecture, hospitals can fl exibly adapt the system to their specific needs and choose between a step-by-step implementation or a single-step replacement.

“Building a complete hospital information system, including documentation, admin, billing, patient portal and more, is not for the faint-hearted, yet this is precisely what Avelios has built. We were astounded by the depth and breadth of the product, as well as the feedback from their customers, which count some of the largest public and private hospitals in Germany. We are thrilled to partner with these exceptional founders and team as they deliver the modern operating system our healthcare deserves.”
Anas Biad, Partner at Sequoia Capital

Leading hospitals already rely on Avelios

Avelios is already the core component of the digitization strategy of leading hospitals. Sana, one of Germany’s largest private hospital chains with 56 facilities, and renowned university hospitals such as the Hospital of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich or the Hannover Medical School already rely on Avelios’ software and its integrated patient portal.

“Sequoia has consciously turned away from the classic, short-term investment cycle and focuses on companies that solve fundamental problems. The digitization of patient care requires long-term thinking and sustainable innovation. With Sequoia, we can deliver exactly that – a system built to stand the test of time.”
Christian Albrecht, co-founder of Avelios
