What SOFTWAY MEDICAL does

Groupe Softway Medical (also doing business as Softway Medical) is a privately-held French healthcare software publisher headquartered in Fuveau, France, with operations across Aix-en-Provence, Paris, La Rochelle, and Montréal. Founded in 2001 and operating for 25 years, the company is uniquely positioned in France as the only player offering an Electronic Patient Record (DPI) spanning from city medicine to hospital, and it ranked among the top 10 global healthcare software publishers in 2024.

Its portfolio centers on Hopital Manager (hospital information system/DPI), Xtrem Santé (city/outpatient medicine), Softway Medical Imaging (radiology management, including the MDR-certified VENUS Explorer), Softway Medical Biologie (medical laboratories), and the Epiconcept data-analytics subsidiary. Technically the platform combines integrated Electronic Patient Records, medical-imaging management, and diagnostic tools with privacy-by-design architecture (Hébergeur de Données de Santé certified), federated analysis partnerships (Tune Insight), and operating-room scheduling integration (SmartOp). Softway is editor, integrator, and HDS-certified host, providing a single point of contact from design to hosting.

The business operates an enterprise SaaS model anchored on subscription software licenses across 1,400+ healthcare establishments, 1,000+ imaging centers, and 1,000+ biology laboratories serving 200,000+ healthcare professionals in France and Europe, supplemented by integration/implementation professional services and HDS hosting revenue. Distribution is sales-led against French public, private, ESPIC, and liberal healthcare buyers, with sales directly tied to the national Ségur du numérique en santé program (11 referenced solutions) and selective international expansion into Canada and broader European research markets. Reported financials are €150 million in annual revenue and 1,200 employees per a June 2026 Les Echos article.

Others

Direct peers

• Dedalus Group: European-headquartered healthcare IT vendor and one of the largest EHR/HIS publishers in Europe, directly competing with Softway Medical across hospitals and diagnostics. Most direct comparability given shared French/European footprint and integrated HIS/RIS/LIS portfolio.

Emerging players
