What Corilus does

Corilus is a Belgian healthcare software vendor, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Ghent, that provides the cloud-based CareConnect platform to healthcare professionals across Belgium. The platform comprises specialized software packages for twelve healthcare disciplines — general practitioners, pharmacists, dentists, physiotherapists, nurses, specialists (including ophthalmologists), midwives, care homes, psychologists, psychiatrists, paramedics, and after-hours medical posts — and is integrated with the country's mandatory eHealth infrastructure, including Recip-e for electronic prescribing, MyCareNet for eAttest/eFact, and Vitalink for medication schemes. The company reports 47,000+ customers and 540 employees across offices in Ghent, Gembloux, and Vilvoorde, and is backed by private equity sponsors PSG and Rivean.

CareConnect's technical architecture is built around a cloud-based medical software stack supporting electronic medical records (EMD), electronic prescribing, patient management, appointment scheduling, and attestation workflows, with automatic synchronization and backup across devices. The platform is surrounded by an ecosystem of adjacent services: the Helena patient-facing digital health app (free for consumers), Online Agenda scheduling, RingPhone telesecretariat, PharmaCare pharmaceutical-care module, hardware (including dental imaging), cybersecurity, and payment integration via Viva Wallet. Corilus also offers a training academy (academy.corilus.be) and an online webshop for peripheral products.

The business model is primarily subscription-based, with annual software license fees indexed to the Agoria digital index, recurring support and maintenance contracts (typically terminable with three months' notice), and one-time hardware sales. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with teams organized by healthcare segment providing tailored demonstrations and personalized quotes, complemented by a self-service customer portal (my.corilus.be) and a webshop. Distribution is exclusively domestic — 100% of revenue is generated in Belgium — and pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Doctolib: French-headquartered pan-European healthcare platform providing online appointment booking, EHR and patient communication tools to physicians, nurses and allied health professionals. Direct competitor to CareConnect as both sell practice-management and patient-engagement software to ambulatory healthcare providers in Europe.
• Nedap Healthcare: Dutch healthcare IT vendor providing EHR, care home management and on-screen pharmacy software (Nedap Ons) primarily in the Netherlands. Comparable to Corilus as a vertically-specialized EHR/PMS provider with strong integrations to national eHealth infrastructure and a similar customer profile of physicians, care homes and allied health professionals.

Broad incumbents

• CompuGroup Medical (CGM): Germany-based global healthcare IT incumbent serving physicians, dentists, hospitals and pharmacies with EHR, practice management and eHealth platforms across Europe. Directly comparable to Corilus because both sell multi-vertical healthcare software with deep integration to national eHealth infrastructure; CGM is the dominant pan-European player and most likely strategic acquirer.
• Epic Systems: US-based dominant EHR incumbent expanding into European health systems with full-suite electronic medical records, patient portals and revenue cycle tools. Comparable to Corilus as an EHR vendor with deep integrations to national eHealth/insurance infrastructure, though operating at vastly larger scale and primarily targeting hospitals and large medical groups.
• Oracle Health (Cerner): Global EHR and health IT incumbent following Oracle's acquisition of Cerner, offering enterprise electronic medical records and population health platforms to hospitals and large provider networks. Comparable to Corilus in offering regulated, integrated EHR systems with revenue cycle and interoperability capabilities, though at much larger scale and enterprise focus.
• Telus Health (including PS Suite): Canadian health technology division offering EHR (PS Suite for physicians), patient engagement and pharmacy solutions across Canada and internationally. Comparable to Corilus as a multi-vertical EHR/pharmacy software provider serving physicians, pharmacists and allied professionals in a national market with government-integrated workflows.

Regional players

• ChipSoft: Netherlands-based EHR and hospital information system vendor dominant in the Dutch market with HiX platform. Comparable to Corilus as a national eHealth software incumbent in a neighboring Benelux market; both sell homologated, government-integrated EHR solutions to physicians and hospitals and could compete in cross-border Benelux expansion.
• Maincare Solutions: French healthcare IT vendor providing EHR and patient management software (M-Crossway, Sillage) to hospitals and clinics primarily in France. Comparable to Corilus as a regional EHR/PMS vendor serving ambulatory and acute providers in a neighboring market with similar regulatory and reimbursement-driven software demand.
• HealthOne / Corilus HealthOne competitors: Belgian pharmacy and healthcare software providers (e.g., HealthOne, Apharm, Pluripharm-adjacent vendors) that compete with CareConnect Pharmacist for independent and group pharmacies in Belgium. Directly comparable as same-market, same-customer-base competitors focused on the Belgian pharmacy vertical with homologation and eHealth integration.

Others

• DXC Technology Healthcare: Global IT services and healthcare technology provider delivering EHR implementations, payer-provider integration and analytics for hospitals and health systems. Comparable to Corilus in offering software-enabled services and integration into national healthcare infrastructure, though positioned more as an implementation/integration partner than a product EHR vendor.
