Exakt Health

What Exakt Health does

Exakt Health GmbH is a Berlin-based digital health company founded in 2021 that operates a mobile application providing evidence-based physiotherapy and run training for runners. The product targets two primary use cases: (1) structured rehabilitation for 15+ common running injuries (Achilles tendinopathy in both insertional and mid-portion variants, ankle sprains, calf strains, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, hamstring strains, meniscus tears, and others), and (2) personalized run training plans ranging from Couch to 5K through marathon preparation, with integrated mobility and strength work. The app features 600+ video-guided exercises organized into 6-8 progressive stages per plan, with adaptive plan progression driven by per-session user feedback on pain and perceived effort. It integrates with Garmin Connect and Apple Health for wearable data sync and was certified as a medical device in Germany in 2024.

The business is built on a product-led growth model: the app is distributed via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, supported by a 7-day free trial that does not require a credit card, content marketing through an evidence-based blog authored by licensed physical therapists, organic social channels, and athlete endorsements (notably European Marathon Champion Richard Ringer). Revenue comes from consumer subscriptions to either rehab plans or training plans, with tiered durations of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months at price points ranging from $9.99 to $19.99 effective monthly rates. The company has served 200,000+ runners globally and holds a 4.8 average app store rating. Geographic footprint currently centers on Germany and the broader European market plus the UK, with US market entry pending FDA approval. The company is privately held, backed by BackBone Ventures across both 2022 and 2024 pre-seed rounds totaling approximately $4.5M cumulatively.

Broad incumbents

• Hinge Health: A large, well-funded digital musculoskeletal (MSK) and physical-therapy platform that delivers app-based exercise programs, coaching and (in the US) is paired with in-person PT. It is broadly comparable to Exakt Health as a digital PT solution but operates at much greater scale and across all MSK conditions, not just running.
• Sword Health: A digital MSK platform combining AI-guided exercise therapy with virtual clinician oversight. Comparable to Exakt Health as a digital-first physical therapy product, but Sword focuses broadly on MSK pain and pairs its software with employer/payer contracts.
• Kaia Health: A digital therapeutics company offering app-based programs for MSK pain and other chronic conditions, using exercise, education and behavioral techniques. Comparable to Exakt Health as an app-delivered, evidence-based rehab product, though Kaia is broader in scope and pursues reimbursement-driven distribution.
• Nike Run Club: Nike's free running training and tracking app, offering guided runs, training plans and coach-led audio. Comparable as a runner-facing training app with adaptive plans, though it does not address injury rehab and is supported by Nike's brand and hardware ecosystem rather than a subscription.
• Adidas Running (Runtastic): Adidas-owned running tracking and training app with structured plans and community features. Comparable to the training-plan and tracking portion of Exakt Health's offering, though it does not deliver clinical rehab content.

Direct peers

• Runna: A UK-based running training app offering personalized, adaptive running plans (Couch to 5K through marathon) with strength and mobility workouts. Most directly comparable to Exakt Health's running training plans segment; both target the same consumer (recreational runners) with adaptive, app-delivered coaching.
• Physitrack: A leading home exercise program (HEP) platform used by physiotherapists to prescribe and monitor video-based rehab programs for patients. Directly comparable to Exakt Health on the rehab side: both deliver structured, video-guided exercise prescriptions for clinical recovery, though Physitrack's primary GTM is B2B via clinicians rather than D2C.

Emerging players

• Wellbe: An emerging app-based rehabilitation platform offering personalized exercise programs for various MSK conditions, including sport-specific protocols. Comparable to Exakt Health in modality (app-delivered, video-guided rehab plans with clinician oversight) though it covers a broader set of conditions and operates at earlier stage.
• OneRehab: A digital physiotherapy and home exercise platform that connects patients to remote PTs with structured video programs. Comparable to Exakt Health in delivering app-based rehab plans, but pairs them with live clinician involvement rather than being purely self-serve.

Others

• Freeletics: A European (Munich-based) AI-powered fitness and training app offering adaptive strength, running and mobility programs via subscription. Adjacent to Exakt Health in operating a D2C, adaptive, evidence-led training app targeting European consumers, though it does not provide clinical rehab content.
