Our Story

20 years of excellence.
Ready for what's next

2005

  

Find all the tools you’ll need to create advanced websites in one place. Stop waisting time searching for solutions.

2008

  

Realizing this market was deeply fragmented and highly regulated, Medtelligent shifted its focus to assisted living, recognizing the tremendous opportunity available in the industry when it comes to technology and software. At the time, less than 10% of assisted living communities used software for their operations, and the few options available weren’t meeting the industry’s needs. That’s when we decided to pivot.

2009

  

After a year of research, development, and listening to the challenges faced by senior living communities, we proudly launch our flagship product, ALIS (pronounced “Alice” and short for Assisted Living Intelligent Solutions).

2016

  

The butterfly logo was born from a desire to represent who we are and what we do: a company that brings life, joy, and innovation to everything we touch. The butterfly symbolizes growth, transformation, and the power of embracing change, values at the heart of our mission.

2025
