"We see that software plays an important part in supporting the healthcare sector and the growing demands that a changing demography places on society. This is also evident from the increasingly higher requirements that customers and authorities set in terms of software functionality, stability, and security. In combination with our Danish healthcare business, we will have an even stronger foundation to support this. We would like to welcome our new customers and employees in Norway and look forward to working together to develop and continue to bring great solutions to the market for general practitioners, specialist doctors and other healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists."
“We have been exploring this opportunity together with EG in an open and constructive process.

Finding an owner with deep insight and understanding of the sector and the needs of the many people that are relying on its service, has been of paramount importance to us”, says Jesper Melin, chairman of PatientSky Group AS."
Within the healthcare sector, EG has more than 20 years of experience in serving general practitioners and specialist clinics in Denmark with proprietary software, which today form an integral part of physicians' daily work. In addition, EG serves other segments within the healthcare sector with software, supporting a wide range of healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, dermatologists and naprapaths. All EG software products have been developed in close collaboration with our customers and are continuously refined based on deep insight into the healthcare sector and our customers' requirements. Over the years, we have helped the healthcare sector to streamline and digitize their practice, minimize time spent on administration and thereby improve the patient’s experience. The aim is to ensure that patients have a seamless journey through the healthcare system:
"As a software supplier, we must constantly evolve to deliver software products that meet the healthcare sector’s increasing requirements as well as innovating new features to continuously improve our solutions. Together with the businesses Hove Medical Systems, Infodoc, PatientSky Clinic and PatientSky App, EG will continue to prioritize this development and we look forward to learning even more from all the stakeholders in the healthcare sector in Norway," says Michael Moyell Juul, EVP, EG A/S.
EG's goal is to be the most professional and competent software supplier for the healthcare sector and, through dialogue with healthcare professionals and industry stakeholders, we support the digitization of the sector:
"We want to ensure that our customers have access to best-in-class software in the Nordics and the acquisition of PatientSky SaaS Norway is a great step towards the achievement of this goal. The acquisition adds scale which is required to keep up with the latest innovations while at the same time guaranteeing the stability and safety of the systems" adds Michael Moyell Juul, EVP, EG A/S.
The acquisition of Hove Medical Systems, Infodoc, PatientSky Clinic and PatientSky App opens new opportunities to complement and further develop the EG Healthcare software portfolio as we aim to empower healthcare professionals across the Nordics to provide better patient care:
