It is only the first edition, but HLTH Europe has already established itself as the leading #HealthTech conference in Europe. Besides my 4 highlights, I also had the chance to moderate a panel on the topic "Last mile: Localising access for underserved areas" with 3 fantastic panelists: · Prathibha (President, Mayo Clinic Health System) · Minal (National Director of Primary Care and Community Transformation, NHS England) · Harmony (SVP, Chief Medical Officer & Head of Global Medical at ViiV Healthcare) PS: Amira (SVP Innovation at Siemens Healthineers): we missed you! Here are the key insights of the panel: Bringing healthcare #access to all, especially to underserved areas, has been a challenge since the inception of healthcare. With all the technology of our modern world, is #Healthcare access on the verge of being solved? The short answer is no. But there is hope. In the UK: ➝ There is a 15-year life expectancy gap between deprived areas, and wealthier neighbourhoods nearby. ➝ Funding struggles to keep up: In the next 15 years, a 37% increase in "ill-health costs" is expected, while the working population will increase by 4% over the same period. ➝ Increasing productivity is essential to solve the problem: A 1% decrease in productivity costs 1.5 billion pounds. In the US: ➝ The zip code is (still) a better determinant of health than the genetic code. ➝ Enabling access to underserved areas can also be seen as an opportunity rather than a problem. Tech adoption will be faster due to higher unmet needs, accelerating innovation that can later benefit well-served areas. Debunking one myth: ➝ For HiV, there is now a better access and coverage in Africa than in certain parts of developed countries (US and Europe). Pockets of innovation: ➝ To unlock HCP capacity, the NHS has a national program to move towards a modern General Practice, moving away from "first come first serve" to a new model based on population health and segmentation: the right care for the right person in the right way. First results show that 30% of GP appointments could be done via "messaging only" (instead of F2F visits), bringing massive efficiency gains. ➝ Mayo Clinic already has 75 specialties that are technology enabled, bringing the “Mayo medical care" in the rural areas via virtual and hybrid models, and also embedding the 50+ AI algorithms already active at Mayo. ➝ But increasing access is not only about Tech. Sometimes, it is about boldness: Viiv Healthcare, a pharma company specialised in HiV, gave the patent of its drugs away in 90+ underserved markets, enabling cheap and at-scale production. What does the future hold? Will someone living in an underserved area be able to visit the "Mayo Clinic in the metaverse with his / her digital twin?" Special thanks to Katy, Lina and Henry for this fantastic conference!

In February it will be 6 years since I had a 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁. With some distance Business Insider has asked me to talk about my experience in consulting, my burnout and the new company I started: WirDämmenDeinHaus.com You can find the link in the first comment.  (I’m also happy to share the pdf, in case you cannot access it.) My ask to you:  𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘁. Having talked to many people that suffered a burnout, my observation is that it can be tremendously helpful to get a nudge from people that care about you. It is a common burnout symptom to “try to keep pushing through” and “take care of one self, after X, Y, Z is finished” -> this often significantly prolongs the healing process. Be there for the people you care about and encourage them to take care of themselves now and not when it’s too late. I’m also here for anyone that wants to talk 1:1 about their experience or ask questions. Please feel free to reach out. Happy holidays to all of you!

Virtual wards present a potentially promising advancement in healthcare, but their success hinges on the true driving force behind their implementation. If the focus is on better patient outcomes, particularly for those who can safely receive care at home, the benefits are substantial. For instance, patients at home face a lower risk of hospital-acquired infections like MRSA. Additionally, virtual wards can be highly effective for managing chronic diseases, allowing for continuous remote monitoring and timely interventions without the need for frequent hospital visits. However, caution is necessary. If virtual wards are deployed primarily for cost management, the resulting patient experience (PX) will be inside-out, designed to meet the hospital’s needs rather than the patients’. To truly succeed, virtual wards must be designed with an outside-in approach, ensuring that patient needs and outcomes are at the forefront of the design and implementation process.

We are really not that different after all. I spoke to a group of German healthtech founders yesterday. What strike me was how similar the #founder experience was. Same challenges. Same need for evidence. Same focus on regulation. Same concerns about selling. Same need to reach out to clinicians. And the same passion to improve healthcare. Honestly, it was amazing to see. Michael Huebner from Sana Kliniken stresses the point that startups need to take their regulation seriously. Without which it is impossible to be deployed in hospitals. Jan B. Elsner, founder of Skinuvita reaffirms the need for high quality evidence to obtain widespread adoption. He warns that companies will need to prepare for the high costs associated with evidence generation. As for me, same as always - I preached the importance of engaging clinical stakeholders early on. And honestly, there really isnt a time that is too early to speak to #clinicians and patients. 🥬 The grass is not greener on the other side. ☺️ But it is humbling to see the same innovators working hard to improve #healthcare despite the challenges. Keep up the good work folks! 💪 🇺🇦 Maren Lesche | Kseniia Choni | Susa Horvath | Alexandra Argenal | Estefanía 'Nia' Escobar-Kölle | Ivo Gross | Silvia Burn |

Staffbase is in Sifted 50: Germany - a ranking of the 50 German startups with the strongest revenue growth over the past 3 years. We just squeezed in for our last year of eligibility as we're 10 years old this year, with still a healthy CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 56.35% 💪 Link to the full report in comments 👇 . From my perspective, the most striking part of the report is how German founders and companies universally bemoan the bureaucracy and inefficiency when dealing with officialdom in Germany. For legal teams operating in Germany, this is surely one of the most frustrating aspects of doing business in DE. From notaries to wet-ink signatures, it all adds up to more friction, time and expense in every legal transaction - entirely at odds with trying to build fast and nimble organizations in the digital age. As one founder put it "I think that everything I do as a founder, when it comes to formalities, feels like I'm building a factory for metalworking in the 1800's." Yet, despite the complexity of starting and running a company in Germany, the market size and opportunity is huge, with many large German customers keen to do business with a German HQ'd firm. Combined with high quality talent, grants, start-up incubators and keen interest from international investors, Germany's start-up hubs are thriving. We see this in Staffbase from our HQ in Chemnitz, and our locations in Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Leipzig and Cologne. My plea to the government is to follow the recommendations of the German Startup Association and to support the growth of startups by easing bureaucracy and to hire a chief digital officer in the federal chancellery to coordinate and accelerate digitisation projects. This is what is needed to make Germany fulfil its potential as a world-class, startup ecosystem. #sifted50 #germany #germanstartups #startups #Staffbase

🚀 Our first launch of 2025: Zeit (⚡https://readzeit.com) — a daily 2-minute digest that summarizes LLM-developer chatter into bite-sized stories. Why? Zeit actually started out as an internal project. As a team of engineers building in GenAI, we wanted to keep up with what other devs in the community are building, new trending models/projects, and the problems people are facing. But there’s so much noise around AI these days that we found ourselves either 1) missing cool/important developments or 2) going down endless anxiety-inducing rabbit holes of articles, startups, and funding announcements. So we built ⚡Zeit⚡—a fast, easy way to stay in the loop with the hottest topics, projects, and challenges shaping the AI landscape. Who is it for? Zeit is for developers, founders, and industry leaders working on GenAI. What you get with Zeit: 🔍 Quick, bite-sized reads to keep you focused on what really matters. 💡 No fluff. Just trends and developer problems that generate buzz. ❗Disclaimer: Zeit is generative. It scours the web for developer chatter and generates short stories sorted by social voting. 🔗 Sign up for your daily dose of the AI zeitgeist!

🚨 Little update regarding the startup ecosystem in 🇩🇪. Q3 💰 reports are out. Where is Berlin?! Well, Munich has raised more capital than the capital in 2024. More importantly; both cities combined raised just as much as Paris. A year ago; Berlin was compared to Paris as being as impactful. (https://lnkd.in/eqTdYbWW by Handelsblatt ... I guess some changes are in the air. OpenAI also just arrived in Paris. What is happening in Berlin? Slowdown? Decline? Where are all the deep tech startups? (https://lnkd.in/eXcsKPKV and https://lnkd.in/eWCqvBmr) Still see tons of HR Tech, Legal Tech, and Fintech here in Berlin. Maybe too much of that. This report from the picture from Dealroom.co 📊 https://lnkd.in/emyhrck7 📉 Berlin is now ranked 30 worldwide on Pitchbook: https://lnkd.in/eBUJRH99 Ps: no idea what is the New Palo Alto here

Long-term care start-ups in Germany are announcing new partnerships with statutory payers almost every month. Yesterday, I had the pleasure to join a webinar organized by Vilans, a leading long-term care organization in the Netherlands. I presented the key dynamics in long-term care in Germany and the main start-ups to watch. A few additional thoughts: 1️⃣ 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 & 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 #𝟏 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 There is a crisis on the demand side (always more elderly people in need of care) and on the supply side (not enough nursing staff). Technology is a key enabler to address this. 2️⃣ 𝐃𝐢𝐏𝐀 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 I was first invited to the webinar yesterday to talk about #DiPA, which is the "DiGA for nursing". The DiPA framework would define a standard certification process and certified Care Apps (that are not medical products) would be reimbursed by the social care fund (up to 50 € / month). Even if DiPA should have been implemented in 2022, it is still not there. And it might never happen. However, this DiPA framework might not be needed. For example, Nui Care, a Caregivers' coordination App, which would typically be eligible for DiPA, is showing good traction, making direct deals with statutory payors. 3️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬: 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 Before the webinar yesterday, I always took the Netherlands as the role model for long-term care in Europe. A company like Buurtzorg, based on self-organized care teams, is a best practice example. However, the Netherlands is spending 4%+ of its GDP on long term care (ranking the highest with Denmark), while the average in the OECD country is 1.5%. If nothing changes, 1 out of 4 persons in the Netherlands would have to work in #healthcare in 2040 to cope with the demand. This is not sustainable. 4️⃣ 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 The Orpea scandal in France is one example that #nursing homes might not be the solution for long-term care. Germany prioritizes keeping patients in need at home. Even at "level 5" care needs (the highest level), over 50% of patients receive #care at-home. 5️⃣ 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 The at-home nursing market is a very fragmented market. In Germany, the top 15 players only capture 5% of the market. This creates inefficiencies. Typically, a nurse would do up to 50% of tasks that a less qualified person could do. Shifting care tasks to the appropriate skill level is a significant improvement lever. This is just one examples out of many. #healthtech Thank you Henk for the invite and insights! And join HLTH Europe in June to discuss!

In a recent @Brutkasten article, I shared my view on the @European Union's Nature Restoration Law, and I'm proud that inoqo and Triple Impact Ventures stand with 375 Austrian companies supporting this initiative! The law aims to restore 20% of the EU's land and marine areas by 2030 and address all ecosystems in need by 2050. It's a bold step to revitalize our planet. A big thank you to Leonore Gewessler for taking a bold step and making this important law a reality! @Blühendes Österreich - BILLA gemeinnützige Privatstiftung non-profit foundation has launched a business initiative to support the law's implementation in Austria.

I have recently had multiple discussions within my network involving startups and investors who are eager to gain a better understanding of the hospital and practice software market in Germany. This post should be a good starting point to understand the key players and the key dynamics. I wrote down a few additional thoughts. 1️⃣ 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬' 𝐄𝐇𝐑/𝐄𝐌𝐑 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 In Germany, patient portals are being implemented, enabled by the "future hospital act". These patient portals are building patient pathways on top of EHR/EMR, capturing most of the value in the new digital value chain. The 15 BG clinics are implementing a "vendor-neutral, API-first interoperability layer" on top of their EHR/EMR systems and MedTech devices, effectively reducing EHR/EMR to the role of mere back-office databases. 2️⃣ 𝐈𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐕𝐙 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 Medical Care Centers (MVZ) are independent facilities where multiple outpatient doctors collaboratively work under one roof, often owned or financed by private investors. In 2020, Medical Care Centers (MVZs) accounted for 15% of ambulatory care practices in Germany. If current trends persist, MVZs are projected to represent 33% of all ambulatory care practices in Germany. This represents a significant portion of the market. MVZs are organized into an association. There is a scenario in which they could choose to promote a specific practice software in the market, or even develop or customize their own. This would structurally change the landscape of practice software in Germany. 3️⃣ 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲... Traditional PE players are looking at a "buy & build" scenario for the practice software market in outpatient care. VCs have invested in new players such as Doctorly (cloud-based practice software), Eterno (co-working space for HCPs with its own Tech stack) and Doctolib (the #1 HealthTech in Europe bringing its own practice software early 2025). Corporate investors, like Mehiläinen, a leading Finish health system, has already acquired 50+ practices in Germany in the last months and is rolling out its own Tech Tech. 4️⃣ ... 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲 The current German Health Minister has labeled external investors in healthcare as "locusts" and wants to stop the rising trend of Medical Care Centers (MVZs). Policymakers are exerting significant pressure on both hospital EHR/EMR systems and practice software in outpatient care to adopt the "open" FHIR standard. The market will also be redesigned by policy markers. #healthcare #healthtech #ehr #hospital #software

🚨 Red Alert for Germany’s Startup Ecosystem: A 30% Drop in Active Investors – How Can We Keep the Innovation Engine Running? A recent article from Handelsblatt (link in comments) points out that early-stage startups are especially at risk during this downturn since they depend on venture capital to scale. The expanding funding gap will further stifle growth in areas where innovation is most needed. Yet, within this challenge lies opportunity: 🌱 Resilient Sectors Lead the Way Sectors like #GreenTech and #AI are still drawing investment, showing their potential to drive innovation. These industries highlight where Germany can have the most significant impact. 🏠 Family Offices as Growth Catalysts As traditional investors pull back, family offices can step up. By leveraging patient capital, they can empower promising startups and lay the foundation for long-term success. 🤝 Venture Clienting as a Key to Co-Innovation Strategic partnerships between startups and established businesses bridge the funding gap.
