Kernel is an e-health and technology group company that aims to contribute to more sustainable and dynamic healthcare systems in Norway and abroad. Kernel has taken a structured approach to sourcing and developing companies that independently address substantial unmet healthcare needs, and together can solve  systemic challenges that hampers the ability to deliver effective treatment and care.

The largest company in the portfolio is DIPS, an EMR (Electronic Medical Record) provider that services more than 85% of the Norwegian hospital market. DIPS's newest release, DIPS Arena, serves as a data hub, an enabler for innovative user experiences, and an accessible platform for third-party vendors. To complement and strengthen DIPS's position and value in the Norwegian market, Kernel invests heavily in companies such as Aidn and Kvikna, tasked with developing future-proof EMRs for additional healthcare providers, such as long-term care and general practitioners (GPs). From inception, these companies are tackling the fragmentation of health services across the continuum of care and will provide tools for seamless communication and collaboration through intuitive clinical and administrative solutions.

The overarching goal of the Kernel companies in the Norwegian market is to fulfill the vision of "one citizen-one record". This is at the core of our business, and with a longitudinal investment perspective, extensive industry knowledge and collaborative approach, we will succeed in our mission to become an indispensable building block in the healthcare services every citizen needs and deserves.
