Lifebrain Cerba HealthCare Italia

What Lifebrain Cerba HealthCare Italia does

Lifebrain Cerba HealthCare Italia (legal entity: Cerba HealthCare Italia Srl) operates a national network of more than 400 medical centers providing diagnostic and clinical services across Italy. The service offering spans medical laboratories (Laboratorio Analisi), multi-specialty outpatient clinics (Poliambulatori), diagnostic imaging (Radiologia), sports medicine (Medicina dello Sport), telemedicine (Telemedicina), preventive longevity programs, and non-invasive prenatal testing. The company also runs ServiceLab, a centralized laboratory business serving external healthcare facilities, and Medicina del Lavoro, an occupational health vertical serving corporate clients under Italian workplace safety regulations.

The technology stack is a digital health platform layered over the physical network: in.Cerba provides a personal health portal for records, bookings, and results; Voilà is a WhatsApp-based AI assistant for conversational appointment booking; and a separate online results portal supports test retrieval. Customer acquisition runs through both direct-to-consumer channels (website, WhatsApp, phone, walk-in) and partner channels (the Italian National Health Service / SSN for ticket-priced services, and major insurance companies for insured reimbursement). Revenue mixes SSN ticket income, private-pay fees, corporate occupational health contracts (typically subscription/recurring), and insurance reimbursements.

The company operates as the Italian subsidiary of Cerba HealthCare SA, a European healthcare group, and is headquartered in Milan with a registered office in Rome. Headcount is reported in the 1,001–5,000 range. No revenue, funding, or valuation data is publicly disclosed in the available source material.
