As a modern healthcare start-up from Berlin with strong investors behind us, we are determined to improve the everyday lives of elderly people around the world, to make it safer and more independent.

That's what we achieve with our revolutionary Patronus watch.

Although not recognizable as an emergency device at first glance, it enables users to call for help easily and immediately, anytime and anywhere. This way, we provide an extra dose of safety and we can save lives in the truest sense of the word. However, the Patronus watch itself is only the door opener to develop numerous other groundbreaking products to improve the lives of older people, their relatives and their caregivers. Our vision is to use the enormous possibilities of modern technology to provide the best possible healthcare for our customers. In this way, we contribute to making the healthcare system more effective - and ensure a life worth living.
