UHB Consulting takes over Smart-Q

UHB Consulting strengthens its position in the healthcare software segment with the acquisition of Smart-Q. This acquisition is the first since the partnership with Main Capital in 2022.

Smart-Q was founded in 2010 by Daniel Zenz in Bochum, Germany, and is a company that offers a specialized patient documentation platform called ISPC. In addition to palliative care software, the company also offers pain documentation software, as well as mediation and litigation software for public institutions such as ethics committees.

We are delighted to join forces with UHB and are confident that this move will create significant added value for both companies and our customers.

UHB Consulting and Smart-Q have announced their merger to expand and enhance their value proposition to clients. The merger will enable the new group to offer a complementary product offering. This partnership is a logical first step in UHB's growth strategy. The combined group comprises a team of over 100 employees and is expected to generate revenues in excess of EUR 15 million. Smart-Q serves more than 550 customers in the healthcare sector, including hospitals, hospices and universities. Their ISPC software is used by many teams and staff in the field of palliative care documentation.

With Smart-Q, we can strengthen UHB Consulting's market-leading position in the field of palliative care for hospitals and hospices.

Thomas Unterhaslberger, Founder & CEO UHB

This merger enables both companies to combine their respective strengths and expand their service offering to provide greater value to clients. With access to UHB's backup systems, Smart-Q customers gain an additional safety measure in the event of an emergency. At the same time, UHB's clinical customers will benefit from Smart-Q's advanced documentation software for palliative care.

The strategic merger with Smart-Q is the first step in UHB's inorganic growth ambitions and will enable the Group to expand into adjacent customer segments
