"Dedalus' vision is for a digitally enabled healthcare ecosystem where all stakeholders actively collaborate across the continuum of care to improve each citizen's health outcomes," said Andrea Fiumicelli, CEO of Dedalus Group. "The acquisition by Dedalus is on par with our growth initiative strategy that began four years ago. Our expanded software solutions enable the integration of processes, workflows and applications in order to improve healthcare outcomes for each individual and for the population as a whole. At the core of our business is a constant focus and commitment to data security and to create and deliver innovation at scale."

"We have an incredible research and development team and a strong leadership team. Our mission is to innovate," continued Giorgio Moretti, Chairman of Dedalus Group. "Our expectation in the coming years is that healthcare will embrace new technologies and service paradigms that will transform the experience of care for all citizens and care teams."
