Backed by top investors like Lakestar, GFC, b2venture, and Motive Partners, we aim for rapid, sustainable growth.

Europe has over 1 million medical practices helping millions of patients daily. Small improvements in patient handling can significantly impact society. However, most practices still rely on paperwork and manual processes. We’re on a mission to change that!
