What Recare does

Recare is a Berlin-based healthtech company founded in 2017 that operates a SaaS platform for digital discharge and care coordination across the German healthcare system. The company connects approximately two-thirds of all German hospitals (1,000+), 26,000+ nursing and homecare providers, and 650+ rehabilitation clinics, addressing the administrative burden and workflow fragmentation that characterize the transition from inpatient to post-acute care. Recare's customers are predominantly large public and private hospital systems (including Sana Kliniken AG, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, Vivantes, Universitätsklinikum Gießen und Marburg, München Klinik, and Universitätsmedizin Essen), nursing facilities, and rehabilitation clinics, with procurement often tied to Germany's KHZG hospital digitization program.

The platform is built as a modular AI suite orchestrated by the recare agent, a central AI hub that integrates with hospital information systems via HL7 and FHIR interfaces. The nine modules cover the full patient journey: recare predict forecasts post-care needs and discharge timing at admission; recare voice captures patient conversations in real time; recare extract pulls structured data from medical reports, PDFs, and free text; recare docs generates physician letters and applications; recare discharge manages digital transfers to aftercare providers; recare operator writes data back into the KIS; recare patient overview consolidates clinical profiles; and recare inbox handles care request intake for nursing and rehabilitation facilities. The company is BSI C5 Type 2 attested, ISO 27001 certified, GDPR-compliant, and processes patient data exclusively in Germany under a Zero-Knowledge architecture.

Recare generates revenue through subscription-based SaaS contracts with hospitals, nursing facilities, and rehabilitation clinics, sold via an enterprise field sales motion with consultation-based, quote-driven pricing. In July 2023, Recare merged with Pflegeplatzmanager to form Recare PPM Holding GmbH. In January 2026, the company closed a €37 million growth financing round (with a €7 million option) led by Norwegian inspection and risk management group DNV—now its largest shareholder—with CIBC Innovation Banking also participating, bringing cumulative funding to roughly €55–60 million and funding international expansion.

Core offering

Recare provides a SaaS AI platform that automates hospital administrative workflows and digital discharge management. The platform connects hospitals with aftercare providers (nursing facilities, rehabilitation clinics, ambulatory care) through a centralized AI hub orchestrating modules for predictive discharge analytics, AI-based speech documentation, structured medical data extraction, automated clinical document generation, and patient/provider inbox communication, integrated with hospital information systems (KIS) via HL7/FHIR interfaces.

Product overview

Recare is a unified SaaS AI platform for digital healthcare operations spanning hospitals, nursing, and rehabilitation facilities. The platform-plus-modules architecture centers on the recare agent (AI hub) that orchestrates eight specialized modules: recare predict (predictive discharge analytics), recare voice (AI speech documentation), recare extract (data extraction from medical documents), recare docs (automated medical document creation), recare discharge (digital discharge management), recare operator (automated KIS data transfer), recare patient overview (consolidated patient profiles), and recare inbox (care coordination for nursing/rehab facilities). The platform connects approximately two-thirds of German hospitals, over 650 rehabilitation clinics, and 26,000+ nursing/homecare providers, with integration via HL7/FHIR interfaces.

Direct peers

• Doctolib: French-headquartered healthcare SaaS platform serving hospitals, physicians, and patients across Europe with appointment booking, telehealth, and administrative workflow software. Directly comparable as a European enterprise healthtech selling workflow automation to hospitals and care providers with a multi-sided network.
• Nuance (Microsoft) DAX: Microsoft-owned ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically documents patient encounters using AI speech recognition — directly overlapping with Recare's recare voice and recare docs modules. Targets the same hospital documentation burden and competes for enterprise AI budgets.
• Abridge: AI-powered ambient clinical documentation platform for hospitals and health systems that converts patient-provider conversations into structured medical notes. Closely comparable to Recare's recare voice and recare docs offerings and competes for the same hospital AI documentation budget.
• Suki AI: AI clinical assistant platform that automates medical documentation, coding, and summarization for clinicians. Comparable to Recare's recare docs and recare extract modules and competes for the same hospital ambient documentation workflow.
• DeepScribe: AI medical scribe platform that uses ambient listening to automatically generate clinical documentation for hospitals and physician practices. Directly overlaps with Recare's recare voice capability and competes in the enterprise hospital AI scribe category.

Broad incumbents

• Dedalus: European healthcare IT vendor providing hospital information systems (KIS), EHR, and care coordination software across multiple European countries including Germany. Comparable as a broad incumbent that could bundle competing discharge-management and AI documentation features into its existing hospital IT footprint.
• SAP i.s.h.med: Dominant German hospital information system (KIS) vendor used by many of Recare's target customers. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the German hospital IT landscape whose existing install base and procurement relationships could enable bundled competition with Recare's workflow automation platform.

Regional players

• Doctena: European online appointment booking and healthcare SaaS provider operating primarily in DACH, Benelux, and other Western European markets. Comparable as a European healthcare workflow SaaS serving provider networks, though more focused on appointment scheduling than discharge management.

Emerging players

• CodaMetrix: AI-powered medical coding and clinical documentation platform for hospitals and health systems. Partially overlaps with Recare's recare extract and recare docs modules and competes in the AI-driven hospital documentation automation category.
• Lean Medical (and similar DACH hospital workflow startups): DACH-region hospital workflow and process optimization software providers serving German hospital networks. Comparable as a regional emerging player targeting digitalization of hospital administrative and clinical workflows within the same customer base as Recare.
