It is a Software and IT Development Company[1] that started in 2010 as a research project funded through the Presidential Support to Scientist Initiative[2], supervised by Uganda National Council and Science and Technology[3]The research which was conducted in the area of medical supplies management led to the development of the first ever integrated management Information System for Hospitals created by Ugandans for Ugandan Healthcare facilities.

IICS won the best innovator award from the Ugandan local government and Canadian government as a result.

The System has since been deployed in regional referral hospitals and District Hospitals and has improved service delivery in the health sector.[6]IICS has also mentored many youth in the technology field, some working with Google, Microsoft while others have started their own Tech companies.

In 2023, IICS Technologies launched the Digital Health Forum to bring together a diverse range of stakeholders, thought leaders, and professionals to collectively address the challenges and opportunities in advancing digital health within the Ugandan healthcare landscape[7] The Forum is slated to happen every year.
