Where data flows, care flows
Amalga is owned by McCrae Tech, a 100% New Zealand-owned innovation lab from the founders of Orion Health. We build specialist health tech designed for clinical complexity, combining three decades of experience building health software that supports millions of lives, with the speed and agility of a start-up.
Now fully independent, we’re free to move faster, go deep, and stay focused on what matters:
Building healthcare-native tech that makes a real difference for clinicians, patients and the data teams behind the scenes.
Built for the frontline
Amalga signals our single-minded focus on connecting data silos and creating next-generation hospital systems built for the frontline.
McCrae Tech’s divestment from Orion Health in 2025 was an opportunity to refocus our vision, and we were inspired by a technology that was so ahead of its time.
Orion Health acquired Amalga from Microsoft in 2012, renaming it Hospitals and evolving a platform built to unify clinical and operational data into one of the world’s most advanced Hospital Information Systems. Shaped by real-world demands across Australasia and South East Asia, we added a modular framework and robust orchestration capabilities deployable in any environment. Amalga’s open APIs, standards-based integrations and cloud-native tools now enable healthcare providers to customise and scale operations rapidly.
Today, we’re simply putting it’s name back on the label, one that reflects the platform’s legacy of high-quality and secure development instilled by Microsoft, together with our vision of connected data = connected care.
Amalga’s agility, openness and innovation continue to help deliver exceptional care to 30+ hospitals and 10m+ patients globally.
