London based cloud tech specialist acquired by international healthcare software provider

Dedalus Group, an international healthcare software solutions provider, announced the acquisition of London headquartered Swiftqueue Technologies Ltd, a cloud-native appointment and scheduling solution provider.

The cloud-native Swiftqueue solution enables patients and citizens to access healthcare services provided from hospitals, clinics and specialists through a digital front door. The software has been deployed throughout the UK, Ireland and Canada, where it has “transformed access to care and diagnostic services”.

This includes appointment solutions for phlebotomy clinics, diagnostic imaging, vaccination services, and multiple care pathways across acute and community services.

This acquisition is complementary to Dedalus’ existing scheduling and appointment handling capabilities, delivering a “modern, patient facing” solution to support organisations in referral management, management of waiting lists and clinical appointments.

Dedalus can now offer this service in European markets, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Latin America, North America, Middle East and Africa.

Andrea Fiumicelli, CEO of Dedalus Group said: “Combining Swiftqueue with our existing appointment management and scheduling systems will accelerate access to health and care services. Patients have an increasingly active role in their own care planning and many health economies have a large backlog of appointments to triage and manage.”

Colin Henderson, Dedalus managing director, UK & Ireland added: “This modern, cloud-first platform provides an enhanced system of engagement to streamline access to care and is applicable across many different care pathways, disciplines and care settings.”

Brendan Casey, co-Founder and CEO, and Declan Donohoe, co-Founder and CTO of Swiftqueue proclaimed: “We are very excited to expand on our existing, successful partnership with Dedalus. The Swiftqueue vision has always been to use digital means to coordinate care, and to make access to care as seamless as possible.

“This next step in our journey allows Swiftqueue to scale faster and deliver enhanced services to providers and patients across the UK & Ireland and other geographies where a digital front door is a vital component.”
