What DIPS AS does

The company is headquartered in Bodø, Nordland, with 461 employees, and operates as the leading supplier of e-health solutions to Norwegian hospitals and healthcare institutions. DIPS's platform centers on the DIPS Journalsystem, a deeply localized EHR tailored to Norwegian healthcare regulations, workflows, and clinical practices, supplemented by a suite of modules including Arena Mobil (mobile clinical documentation), DIPS KI/DIPS Assistent (AI-powered clinical workflow assistant), Fagsystem for diabetes (diabetes specialty care), Pasientinvolvert planlegging (patient involvement in care planning), Ventetidsløftet (wait time management), and the Samhandling interoperability platform with Connectivity Suite, Interactor, and Pasienttjenester sub-products.

The underlying technology is a proprietary EHR platform purpose-built for Norwegian healthcare conditions, encompassing mobile capabilities, AI-assisted workflows, and a cross-system interoperability stack. DIPS generates revenue through enterprise software licensing and subscription contracts with Norwegian hospitals, augmented by consulting services (Konsulenttjenester) covering modeled products, optimization, and advisory work. The company employs a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting hospital administrators and healthcare personnel, supported by a content-driven marketing strategy including the d:mag e-health magazine, d:pod podcast, annual DIPS-forum conference, and active presence across LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. DIPS is a privately held, independent Norwegian company with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or public listing.
