Omda acquires Aweria AB, a best-of-breed emergency department information system

20 Dec 2024 15:29 CET

Omda AS, a leading provider of specialised software for healthcare and emergency
response, today announced the acquisition of Aweria, a best-of-breed emergency
department information system. Aweria integrates with Omda’s existing Response
and Incident solutions, as well as the recently acquired Rapid Emergency Triage
and Treatment System (RETTS).

Omda has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Aweria AB.
Completion of the transaction is subject to FDI filing and approval, which are
expected to be obtained within 25 working days of signing.

Aweria is a best-of-breed emergency department information system, designed to
support acute care in healthcare systems. The system integrates patient
information across the emergency care chain, from ambulance dispatch to ongoing
care in the emergency room. Unlike broader hospital electronic patient records,
Aweria focuses on the unique needs of emergency care, providing healthcare
professionals with tools for documentation, real-time coordination, and ongoing
patient status updates. Aweria is built for high-pressure environments. It
ensures teams to have a clear, real-time overview of critical information, and
minimises clicks and cognitive load for emergency professionals.

Omda CEO, Sverre Flatby highlights the strategic potential in the acquisition:
“Aweria is a valuable addition to our existing emergency solutions. In Omda, we
have gathered several software solutions that cover the various time-critical
workflows in the emergency value chain. We already cover ambulance fleet
planning and dispatch systems, we facilitate communication between vehicles and
emergency rooms, and RETTS, our newly acquired advanced Triage system, provides
decision support for emergency professionals. By adding Aweria, we now offer a
complete set of solutions to streamline the information flow across the acute
care pathway, including the emergency room, which is critical for improved
patient outcomes.”

Karl Ahlstedt, Aweria's CEO, says: “For our customers, using Aweria to create
fully integrated emergency care processes has proven hugely beneficial to their
efficiency and quality of care. By joining Omda and having multiple solutions
under the same roof we create a strong offer to the market and can approach new
customers with a more holistic suite of products. Customers will welcome
well-integrated software that is proven to work for similar organisations. We
will continue to build deeper integrations between solutions to strengthen
patient care. Becoming part of a bigger group will open new opportunities for
Aweria and allow us to scale faster.”

Aweria is used in emergency care settings in Sweden, including regions Halland,
Norrbotten and Västerbotten. The company has 6 employees and is based in
Gothenburg, Sweden.

Acquisition details:
• Signing took place on December 20, 2024.
• Aweria has sales for 2024 in excess of 6 MSEK (latest estimate).
• Omda pays a limited amount up-front consideration at closing
• Contingent upon reaching agreed Sales and EBITDAC targets, an Earn Out payment
up to 20 MSEK will apply.
