World-class health technology awarded the Made in Norway label

Norway's largest e-health group, Kernel AS, brings together some of the country's most innovative digital health companies. They develop solutions for safer and more sustainable healthcare services. The group's four subsidiaries – DIPS, Aidn, Deepinsight and Sonett – have now been awarded the official Made in Norway certification.

Kernel has around 600 employees working in development teams across Norway. The group develops solutions ranging from electronic health record systems for hospitals, municipalities and dental health services to advanced AI solutions that improve decision support and enable more efficient use of resources.

'We are proud to be part of Norway's world-class digital industry,' says Christian Falkenberg-Jensen, Sales and Marketing Director at DIPS.

All the companies share a clear vision: to make everyday work easier for healthcare professionals, improve patient safety and contribute to a sustainable healthcare system – with health technology developed in Norway, for Norway.

Aidn has developed a user-friendly electronic health record system that brings health records and collaboration together. The company is investing heavily in artificial intelligence and decision support – all delivered as a subscription service.

The system has been developed in close collaboration with healthcare professionals in Norwegian municipalities and integrates seamlessly with both national shared services and third-party systems. The goal is clear: to make it easier to provide high-quality care and safer to be a patient.

‘Many of our competitors develop their solutions outside Norway. We are proud to show that Aidn is entirely Norwegian, built locally in partnership with the people who will actually use the system. The Made in Norway label makes it easier to highlight this identity,’ says Gjendemsjø.

The team also includes Norway's leading provider of electronic patient record systems and e-health services for specialist healthcare. More than 85% of Norwegian hospitals use DIPS solutions designed to support efficient patient care, secure information flows and seamless collaboration across levels of care.

'When hospitals and healthcare professionals use DIPS, they should feel confident that they are getting solutions developed in Norway by specialist teams who understand the healthcare system, the language and the regulations. Made in Norway is a mark of quality that confirms this,' says Falkenberg-Jensen.

DIPS is also investing heavily in artificial intelligence, including through its own AI platform with secure models, agents and user interfaces – helping healthcare professionals work smarter and more efficiently.

Deepinsight develops advanced AI and analytics tools that make hospital operations more efficient through better planning, smarter resource management and shorter waiting times for patients.

He believes the Made in Norway label will raise the profile of Norwegian value creation and hopes it will inspire more people to invest in health technology development.

‘It is important for us to highlight that ours is a Norwegian product, developed in Norway for the Norwegian dental care market. Made in Norway is visible proof of our Norwegian origins,’ says Svein Williassen, CEO of Sonett.

Sonett is developing a new cloud-based patient record system for dental services – a field that has long lagged behind the rest of the healthcare sector in digitalisation.

‘By integrating with shared national solutions, we are helping to connect dental services more closely with the rest of the healthcare system,’ says Williassen.

We developed the solution in close collaboration with dentists and other healthcare professionals to make their working day easier, safer and more efficient.
