Company Overview
Arkenea is a full-service, custom healthcare software development company that helps fast growing healthcare organizations, whether Fortune 500 or startups, accelerate product time to market with custom healthcare and medical software development and UI/UX design.
Healthcare organizations prefer Arkenea for their digital transformation and applications as it’s the only company in its category that is 100% dedicated towards healthcare software development for the last decade.
Arkenea started in 2011 with a core team of 6 software professionals helping our clients develop telemedicine applications, EHR software, prescription management software, pharmacy management software, among others across multiple platforms such as the web and mobile. We’ve grown to three offices, with a total team strength of over 50.
Arkenea came into existence to disrupt the business model of a traditional healthcare software development firm, to add more value to clients. This model was covered across top publications such as HuffPost.
“The results were impressive, we found listening ears, caring hands and most important, an honest professional people in how they identified our challenges and how it should be solved.” – OTASYS Labs
Employee Focused and Customer Centric
We encourage all our employees to spend time each week towards learning and and enhancing their skills with an allocated 3% of employee time annually towards formal trainings and skill development courses. Project retrospective learning is spread to all company employees as well.
Arkenea helped provide both practical advice and experience that enabled us to launch our website and create complementary mobile applications in a cost effective way while providing ongoing product support into the future. Without Arkenea, this dream would have vanished into oblivion.
