With 30+ years of combined experience, we provide the healthcare industry with innovative, integrated and intuitive healthcare software solutions.

Our proven, trusted healthcare solutions – including practice management applications, electronic health records solutions, claims management systems and data insight capabilities – run seamlessly in the background, taking care of your administrative, financial, and clinical support needs so you can focus on your patients.

Altron HealthTech is committed to journeying with you and your business. We help medical professionals move confidently and seamlessly into a meaningful digital future, with a patient-centred plan, using innovative systems and technologies that are HIPAA and POPIA compliant.

Altron HealthTech is focused on eliminating technical obstacles that hinder healthcare professionals, and we will continue to develop innovative solutions that enable differentiated healthcare technology.

Our goal? To connect communities with simplified, streamlined, yet innovative healthcare solutions, wherever they are, whenever they need it.
