Hospital information systems and diagnostic software for European healthcare
Nexus AG is a decades-old European healthcare software vendor built around hospital information systems (HIS) and specialty diagnostic modules (radiology, cardiology, endoscopy). The tech stack—Oracle, Java, C++, SQL Server, HL7/FHIR—reflects a mature, enterprise-grade codebase. Current project velocity reveals an engineering-heavy org in mid-cycle modernization: the team is refactoring the core HIS platform, building new diagnostic modules, and integrating AI (generative AI chatbot project), while simultaneously wrestling with legacy database structure and internal developer experience tooling.
Nexus AG develops integrated software suites for hospitals, mental health facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home care providers across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and additional markets. The company is a leading provider of diagnostic imaging solutions (DIS modules) in Germany and holds dominant market share in mental health institution software across the German-speaking region. The product combines a core hospital information system with modular specialty solutions for clinical workflows, all designed around a one-click-to-information philosophy. With roughly 1,900 employees across 8 countries, Nexus operates as a public company serving hundreds of healthcare institutions continent-wide.
Nexus uses Oracle, Java, C++, SQL Server, HL7/FHIR standards, Angular, React, and Jakarta EE. The platform also incorporates Docker for containerization and NetBox for infrastructure management.
Core projects include modernizing the hospital information system, building new diagnostic modules (Pegasos), integrating generative AI (medical chatbot), and refactoring legacy database structures. The team is also improving internal developer experience tools and customer API integrations.
