• HealthCaters reinvents preventive care delivery and empowers employees to take control of their health in the comfort of their workspace or at home.
• HealthCaters offers a health engagement platform that creates transparency by giving users direct access to their own health data and actively supports them in managing and improving their health.

Dieter von Holtzbrinck Ventures (DvH Ventures) invests a seven-digit amount in the Berlin-based startup HealthCaters (healthcaters.de) as part of a pre-seed round. HealthCaters is the second investment from the recently launched €60 million Digital Health Fund. The company develops and operates a corporate health platform that enables employees to take their health into their own hands. The solution consists of a smart device infrastructure for in-office or at-home use. This is coupled with a health management app that enables users to track and understand their vital signs and reduce their health risks through a personalized and data-driven approach.

The prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes or cardiovascular events is widespread in Germany. According to a report by Frankfurt's Goethe University, nearly one in two Germans is chronically ill, with the likelihood of developing chronic disease increasing with age. In 2018, 91% of all deaths in Germany were due to chronic diseases. In addition to the massive costs to the healthcare system, employers in Germany are also severely affected. Figures from the DAK show that well over 50% of work disability days are due to chronic diseases.

HealthCaters wants to change this and focuses on the fact that 90% of the most common chronic diseases can be prevented. By helping people identify their health risks through early diagnostics, healthy lifestyles can be reached and sustained in a user friendly and engaging manner. The resulting improvement in workforce health leads to fewer sick days and increased productivity, as well as to a decrease in long-term medical costs, which benefits all stakeholders - employees, employers, and insurers.

HealthCaters’ mission to democratise preventive care globally and help millions of people achieve the healthy life that they deserve is accomplished by making this multidimensional product available to the workforce
