2019 – Identifying the Problem in Sri Lanka’s Health Sector
In 2019, Acvilas Business Solutions began a deep exploration of Sri Lanka’s rapidly changing health and wellness industry. Through market research, discussions with healthcare professionals, and feedback from patients, the company recognized a serious gap: the medical sector was struggling to embrace digitalization. While many global health systems were adopting advanced technology for patient management, record keeping, and remote care, Sri Lanka remained heavily dependent on outdated, paper-based methods. Hospitals faced challenges in coordinating patient records, small clinics lacked affordable digital tools, and patients often endured long waits with little access to their medical history. Acvilas saw this as more than just a technical issue; it was a barrier to better healthcare delivery, efficiency, and accessibility. The company identified that a comprehensive, scalable, and user-friendly digital solution could transform the Sri Lankan medical ecosystem. This realization marked the first major milestone for Acvilas, sparking the vision to create solutions that would not only introduce technology but also empower healthcare providers to adopt digital practices without fear of complexity or high costs. This year laid the groundwork for what would become a journey of innovation and social impact, aimed at solving one of the country’s most critical healthcare challenges.

2021 – Supporting a University Team to Build a Solution
By 2021, Acvilas Business Solutions decided to take decisive action on the insights gathered in 2019. Understanding that innovation often comes from fresh, agile minds, the company funded a group of passionate university students who were determined to tackle the pressing digitalization problem in Sri Lanka’s healthcare sector. Among this group was a promising technical leader who would later become the Acvila’s Technical Director. This collaboration was more than just a funding initiative; Acvilas provided mentorship, strategic guidance, and access to industry networks, allowing the students to combine their academic knowledge with real-world needs. Together, they began mapping out a solution that addressed critical gaps such as electronic health records, remote patient monitoring, and hospital workflow management. The partnership represented a powerful union of youthful creativity and experienced business insight. Through brainstorming sessions, prototype testing, and continuous feedback loops, the team gradually shaped a solution that was not only technologically sound but also socially impactful. This phase of the journey was a testament to Acvilas’s belief in nurturing young talent and using innovation as a tool for social good. By the end of 2021, the foundation for a groundbreaking health-tech solution had been firmly established.

2022 – Recognition by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)
The year 2022 became a turning point for the project. The solution developed by the university group, with guidance and support from Acvilas, began to attract significant attention beyond Sri Lanka’s borders. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) identified the initiative as one of the most promising and socially impactful digital health solutions in the region. It was subsequently incubated in the HackaDev Enterprise Incubator for Social Innovation – Cohort 04, a prestigious program dedicated to nurturing technology-driven enterprises that solve critical social problems. This recognition validated the team’s hard work and proved that the solution was not only locally relevant but also globally significant. Through the incubator, the team received advanced training in business development, social innovation, and sustainable scaling strategies. This exposure helped refine their product roadmap and provided critical resources for future growth. The UNDP’s endorsement also opened doors to strategic partnerships, potential investors, and government agencies, giving the project the credibility it needed to influence the broader healthcare industry. The year marked a shift from a university-led project to a recognized social innovation venture capable of transforming healthcare systems.

2022 – Launching Ayutech Health Solutions
Building on the momentum of the UNDP recognition, Acvilas and the university team officially launched Ayutech Health Solutions in 2022. This new venture was dedicated to creating innovative, sustainable, and scalable technologies tailored to the unique challenges of Sri Lanka’s healthcare sector. Ayutech’s mission was clear: to design solutions that could bring hospitals, private medical practices, and individual patients into the digital era without overwhelming them with cost or complexity. The team focused on developing practical applications for electronic medical records, patient engagement platforms, and smart hospital management systems. Unlike many imported healthcare solutions, Ayutech’s approach was deeply rooted in the local context, ensuring that cultural, economic, and infrastructural realities were considered at every stage of development. Their goal was not just to digitize healthcare processes but to create tools that improved patient care, reduced administrative burdens, and empowered healthcare workers. This operational launch signified a new era for the Sri Lankan health sector, as Ayutech began to roll out pilot programs and work directly with hospitals and clinics. It was the beginning of a mission to reshape how medical services were delivered across the country.

2022 – Introduction of “Maternity Me”
Later in 2022, Ayutech achieved a major milestone by launching its first flagship product, Maternity Me, a pregnancy and maternity advice platform offered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. Designed for expectant mothers, healthcare providers, and wellness professionals, Maternity Me provided a comprehensive digital experience for pregnancy tracking, health monitoring, and expert guidance. The platform allowed users to access personalized advice, track appointments, and receive timely notifications about important milestones in maternal health. Its goal was to bridge the information gap for mothers, particularly in rural areas where access to professional medical advice could be limited. By combining medical expertise with an intuitive digital interface, Maternity Me empowered women to take control of their pregnancy journey while giving doctors and midwives better tools for monitoring and supporting their patients. The launch of Maternity Me not only demonstrated Ayutech’s technical capabilities but also highlighted its commitment to social impact. The product quickly gained traction among healthcare providers and families, setting a strong precedent for future health-tech innovations from the company.

In 2023, Acvilas Business Solutions made a strategic decision to fully acquire Ayutech Health Solutions, integrating its innovative projects and talented team into the parent company. This acquisition was driven by Acvilas’s long-term vision to accelerate healthcare digitalization across Sri Lanka and beyond. By bringing Ayutech under its direct management, Acvilas gained full control over product development, funding, and market strategy, allowing for faster scaling and deeper investment in research and innovation. For the Ayutech team, the acquisition meant greater access to resources, business expertise, and an expanded network of healthcare partners. Together, the unified organization focused on refining existing products like Maternity Me while simultaneously developing new platforms for hospital management, patient engagement, and digital health analytics. The merger also allowed for stronger collaboration with government health agencies and private hospitals, ensuring that solutions could be deployed on a national scale. This consolidation of talent and technology marked a new chapter in Acvilas’s mission to revolutionize healthcare in Sri Lanka.
