Oska Health

What Oska Health does

Oska Health Medical GmbH is a German digital health company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, operating the Oska Plus platform — a certified medical device under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) that delivers a 12-month hybrid chronic-disease management program for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and coronary heart disease. The platform is delivered through the Oska App (iOS/Android) and a parallel telephone coaching line, and combines AI-supported coaching analysis with personal human health and nutrition advisors (nurses and nutrition therapists) using a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA)-based behavioral framework and KDIGO-aligned clinical content. The supporting surface area includes the Oska Live webinar series, a German-language Gesundheitsmagazin (health blog), a Fachmagazin/physician channel, and a published study report (N=109, March 2025) demonstrating behavioral and health-literacy outcomes.

The company sells exclusively on a B2B2C basis to German statutory and private health insurers, which fully fund Oska Plus for eligible members at no cost to the patient. Over 20 health insurers — including Techniker Krankenkasse (TK), KKH Kaufmännische Krankenkasse, DKV Deutsche Krankenversicherung, IKK Classic, IKK Südwest, Axa Germany, Allianz Private Krankenversicherung, Mobil Krankenkasse, Pronova BKK, and VIACTIV, plus 15+ BKK funds — contract with Oska Health and refer patients via direct mail with 8-digit access codes; physicians serve as an additional referral pathway. Scientific credibility is anchored by collaborations with Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Universität Heidelberg, Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz, and the University of Oxford, and behavioral science leadership embedded at Heidelberg. In February 2026 the company closed an €11 million seed round co-led by Capricorn Partners and SwissHealth Ventures, with participation from Revent, Calm/Storm VC, LBBW Venture Capital, BMH, GoHub Ventures, and Aurum Impact, to scale the platform, evidence base, and insurer/physician network.

Participating insurers fund the full program cost for their insured members with eligible chronic conditions at no cost to the patient. The company has contracts with over 20 health insurers. Revenue is derived from these B2B contractual arrangements rather than direct patient payments.
