Companion Apps as a Bridge Between Therapy, Patients & Real-World Evidence

Creating proximity where others can't reach.

Rare diseases require targeted communication, complex care management, and high-quality patient support. This is exactly where digital Companion Apps make a difference: they guide patients individually through therapy pathways, facilitate education, and connect healthcare professionals with patients.

At the same time, they enable Real-World Data collection – GDPR- and MDR-compliant. Your solution for pre-marketing in compliance with HWG (German Pharmaceutical Advertising Act) – scalable, certified, ready to deploy.

Smartphones with Medication Tracking

Your solution for pre-marketing in compliance with HWG – scalable, certified, ready to deploy.

Rx – Digital Market Launch with a Head Start

Companion Apps as CE-certified medical devices open up legally compliant communication channels to patients and physicians – where traditional marketing falls short. They strengthen brand loyalty, improve patient care, and extend the product lifecycle. Especially during the pre-marketing phase, they strategically activate medical professionals and maximize launch impact.
Smartphones with Barcode Scanner for OTC

Digital companions that turn one-time purchases into real brand experiences.

OTC – More Purchases. More Loyalty. More Brand.

For over-the-counter medications, it’s not just about efficacy but also about recognizability. Companion Apps create lasting brand experiences through reminders, content, and gamified interaction – for recurring touchpoints, loyal customers, and a differentiating brand identity.

We know the market's hurdles. And we have the right platform to overcome them.

  • No dialogue after purchase – no loyalty
  • Low user engagement and no continuous data utilization
Orphan Drugs Challenges

Orphan Drugs

  • Very small target groups – hard to reach
  • Complex therapy pathways – high information needs
  • Low awareness – minimal market attention
