Amaron came to life in 2009, when Tom De Caluwé and Maurice Van Kerkhoven — enjoying a glass of Amarone wine under the Italian sun — decided to start their own company. Their shared vision: improving healthcare delivery by ensuring seamless access to data across the care continuum.
In its early days, Amaron focused on connecting healthcare information systems using established standards such as HL7®v2, DICOM and HPRIM. This led to the creation of Amaron Connect, our Mirth-based integration platform that automates the exchange of data between diverse hospital systems. We quickly became the leading provider of healthcare interoperability solutions in Belgium, and soon expanded into neighbouring markets, including the Netherlands and France.
As we supported hospitals with their integration needs, we noticed that a number of clinical and operational workflows were falling between the cracks, unsupported by existing IT systems. To address this, we developed Workflower, a platform that enables healthcare organisations (regardless of their EPR) to digitise and streamline processes across departments, disciplines and disparate systems. It builds on existing data, enhancing it to support better workflows. This is essential because successful digitalisation requires not only powerful tools, but also access to the right data across systems, at the right time.
Our portfolio has since evolved toward broader interoperability, helping healthcare organisations exchange data beyond hospital walls. This includes exchanges with other providers, community caregivers, patients and government bodies, as well as with stakeholders such as pharmaceutical companies, AI vendors and health app developers.
Our advanced FHIR solutions empower organisations to manage and secure all HL7® FHIR® transactions, regardless of the server or repository used. We offer powerful building blocks for patient data pseudonymisation, governance support and secure data exchange, supporting hospitals in their digital transformation while ensuring compliance and privacy.
In 2021, HERAN Partners and Active Capital joined as investors to help accelerate our growth strategy and expand our international footprint.
Amaron has years of experience in integrating IT systems in various healthcare domains. We are very familiar with the IT landscape in Belgium: we have already established connections with nearly 90% of all the systems in use today. And we also operate in the Netherlands and France.
