Problem

We’re addressing the critical gap in accessible supportive cancer care for outpatients. Traditional medical care overlooks cancer patient support and quality of life, which are vital for survival, leading to worsened patient outcomes.

With cancer numbers rising, a projected 20% rise in Germany alone by 2030, more and more young people being diagnosed with cancer, these aspects cannot be ignored.

Solution

We’re building a platform that connects cancer patients with a network of qualified supportive care specialists, enhancing patients’ quality of life and improving survival rates. Through our app patients can easily access the network of supportive care specialists, receive personalized care paths based on their needs and wellbeing, and read relevant, and informative articles.

We are at the forefront of a huge opportunity to redefine cancer patient care. We strongly believe that cancer care extends beyond just medical treatment, encompassing a holistic view of patient needs

Problem

Women in Germany face significant barriers to effective and timely intimate health care, including long wait times for gynecological appointments, limited consultation time, and a lack of holistic treatment options. This situation is exacerbated by the gender health data gap, which leads to underdiagnosis and mismanagement of common conditions like bacterial vaginosis and recurrent vaginal infections, often resulting in unnecessary discomfort and healthcare costs.

Solution

Femote offers a comprehensive digital health platform that integrates AI-powered health coaching, home-based diagnostic tests, and telemedicine services. Our platform not only provides women with immediate, personalized care but also collects and analyzes health data to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies. This approach reduces the need for in-person consultations, eases the burden on healthcare systems, and empowers women with the tools and knowledge to take control of their intimate health.

Problem

Anxiety disorders like General Anxiety Disorder or Social Anxiety Disorder drain you emotionally and physically in your everyday life. With 12.9 million people affected in Germany alone, anxiety disorders are the most widespread mental health condition. Anxiety can take over your life—excessive worry, rumination, and avoiding social interactions. It robs you of participating in life.

Solution

We’re stepping away from the approach of offering generic activities like breathing or meditation to manage your anxiety. Instead our product offers you an extremely specific alternative behavior at the moment you’re about to engage in destructive behavior. Nisha Explore helps you navigate anxiety and discover tailored experiments that fit your current needs and preferences. It’s quick and you can complete the experiment no matter where you are and then move on with your daily activities.

Problem

The ageing population is a global issue, and the “sandwich generation” is feeling the squeeze. Medication mismanagement is a big part of the problem—50% of therapy failures are due to incorrect medication use. Shockingly, 75% of seniors over 65 don’t take their meds correctly, and 71% juggle three or more daily, increasing risks.

Solution

We’re developing HeidiMed, an AI-powered assistant designed to tackle the issue of medication mismanagement among seniors. The system offers multi-level reminders to ensure that medications are taken on time. Initially, reminders are sent via WhatsApp, a platform that many seniors are already familiar with. If these reminders are missed, HeidiMed follows up with a phone call to ensure the message is received. If the medication still isn’t taken, HeidiMed sends alerts to family caregivers, keeping them informed in real-time.

HeidiMed integrates seamlessly into the daily routines of seniors without requiring them to learn new technology—no new apps or complicated systems, just simple reminders through familiar channels. In addition to reminders, it tracks symptoms and monitors potential drug interactions, offering a full overview of the senior’s health.

By improving medication adherence and keeping caregivers in the loop, HeidiMed aims to significantly improve health outcomes for seniors while providing peace of mind for their families.

In Germany, more than 10,000 nursing homes do not have adequate cooperation with dentists, leading to a significant decline in oral health-related quality of life for patients. This gap results in unmet dental care needs and poor overall health outcomes for residents.

We provide fully equipped rental vans that serve as mobile dental units. These vans come with a comprehensive package that includes regulatory guidelines, sample contracts, a matching platform, and extensive expertise from a hand-picked team of professionals specializing in mobility, clinical research, administration, business, UI/UX design, and clinical experience. Our service connects nursing homes and retirement communities with local dentists, allowing the dentists to focus solely on patient care while we manage the logistical and administrative aspects of mobile dentistry.
