Steiner

What Steiner does

Steiner, s. r. o. is a privately held Czech medical software company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Prague, focused exclusively on developing, maintaining, and licensing specialized healthcare information systems. The company serves hospitals, blood banks, transfusion departments, clinical and immunogenetic laboratories, hematopoietic stem cell donor registries, radiology and pathology departments, oncology centers, and tissue banks. Its modular product portfolio includes Amadeus (transfusion), UNIS and Chameleon (hospital information systems), Orpheus LIS (laboratory information), Orpheus HLA (immunogenetics), Radius (radiology), Prometheus (donor registries), Cryus (tissue banks), Perseus (pathology), BD CATO (oncology medication), and TRIMMUS (transplant immunology decision support). Systems run on Windows Server or Linux and integrate with Firebird, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and Caché databases, and connect to analyzers, instruments, PACS, NIS/KIS hospital systems, and international protocols including EMDIS, WMDA, ISBT 128, IZIP, and Dasta.

Revenue is generated through one-time software licenses, recurring support and maintenance subscriptions (with version updates per VZP and IHIS methodology and 12-hour support response commitment), and professional services for analysis, data migration, integration, validation, training, and go-live. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales to hospitals and healthcare facilities, supplemented by international channel partners in Austria, Hungary, and the USA and a technology partnership with EladHealth for the Chameleon Hospital Information System. Demand generation is event-driven through healthcare and hematology conferences (EWIC, WMDA, Olomoucké and Pražské hematologické dny) and selective PR.

The company is founder/family-controlled, led by Ariel Steiner (Company Director) and David Steiner (Managing Director), and holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISBT 128 certifications. Prometheus is deployed by 26 of 40 registries connected to the EMDIS network covering 90%+ of global hematopoietic stem cell donors, giving Steiner a meaningful standard-based position in the international donor registry ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Dedalus: European-headquartered healthcare IT vendor offering laboratory information systems, blood bank, transfusion, and hospital information solutions across Europe. Direct overlap with Steiner's Orpheus LIS, Amadeus transfusion, and broader HIS footprint.
• MIPS Technologies: European healthcare IT vendor specializing in laboratory information systems, transfusion medicine, and microbiology. Closely matches Steiner's niche focus on LIS, blood bank, and transfusion workflows.
• CompuGroup Medical: Major European healthcare software provider serving hospitals, laboratories, and ambulatory care with HIS and LIS offerings. Competes directly with Steiner in Central European laboratory and hospital IT markets.
• Sunquest Information Systems: Global laboratory information system and diagnostic informatics vendor for clinical and anatomic pathology labs. Direct overlap with Steiner's Orpheus LIS and Perseus pathology offerings.
• Haemonetics (BloodTrack / Hemasoft): Provider of blood management and hospital transfusion software solutions, including the Hemasoft product line acquired by Haemonetics. Direct competitor to Steiner's Amadeus transfusion management system.

Broad incumbents

• Sysmex (LIS / CellaVision): Global hematology and laboratory diagnostics vendor with adjacent LIS/hematology software offerings. Overlaps with Steiner's Orpheus LIS hematology and analyzer-integration capabilities.
• Epic Systems: Dominant US-based electronic health record and hospital information system vendor whose Beaker LIS extension competes in large hospital labs. Broader incumbent whose primary footprint is acute care EHR rather than blood bank/transfusion niches where Steiner specializes.
• Oracle Health (formerly Cerner): Large incumbent in hospital information systems and broader healthcare IT with Millennium pathology solutions. Competes tangentially with Steiner in hospital IT but lacks Steiner's depth in transfusion/blood bank niche software.

Emerging players

• Stago: Diagnostics and hemostasis solutions provider with adjacent blood bank/transfusion workflow software exposure relevant to Steiner's Amadeus target customers.

Regional players

• ICZ (Informační Centrum Zdravotnictví): Czech Republic-headquartered hospital information system and healthcare IT vendor that is both a Steiner partner (since 2018) and a competitor in the Central European HIS market.
