Our values
Innovation

As a leading expert in artificial intelligence in healthcare, we have been shaping the future of patient documentation for more than 15 years. Through innovative solutions designed to create tangible process-level value for hospitals along the patient journey.

Excellence

Medical professionals require healthcare solutions they can rely on. That is why we focus on high product quality and robust data protection standards. Our solutions are developed close to practice and are based on many years of experience.

Optimism

We focus on opportunities rather than obstacles. We are convinced that AI can contribute to a more sustainable future for healthcare, with medical professionals able to focus on their patients and clinical workflows. Free from unnecessary bureaucracy and time constraints. For us, optimism means acting in an effective, constructive, and confident manner.

Appreciation

Teamwork does not stop within our organization. Whether working with hospitals or software partners, appreciation and trust form the foundation of our collaboration. As within our own team, we stand for respect, fairness, and recognition.
