Core offering

MONKS - \u00c4rzte im Netz GmbH sells a modular telemedicine platform to medical practices in Germany and Austria, anchored by the PraxisApp mobile application that enables digital doctor-patient communication. The base PraxisApp subscription is augmented by optional add-ons: KBV-certified video consultation (Videosprechstunde), online appointment management (Online-Terminverwaltung), end-to-end encrypted chat, and a doctor directory entry (\u00c4rzteverzeichnis). Specialty-specific PraxisApp variants are co-published with the relevant German and Austrian medical professional associations across pediatrics, general practice, gynecology, ENT, internal medicine, neurology/psychiatry, anesthesiology, pulmonology, and urology.

Product overview

MONKS - Ärzte im Netz operates as a telemedicine service provider offering a modular digital health platform for medical practices. The core offering consists of the PraxisApp, a mobile application available for iOS and Android that serves as the central hub for doctor-patient communication. This core product can be enhanced with three main add-on modules: the certified Videosprechstunde (video consultation service compliant with German health regulations), Online-Terminverwaltung (online appointment management), and Chat functionality. Doctors also receive a basic web presence through the Ärzteverzeichnis (doctor directory) as part of the base package. The company differentiates through multiple specialty-specific sub-brands and corresponding PraxisApp variants for different medical associations including general practitioners (Meine hausärztliche Praxis), pediatricians (Kinder- und Jugendärzte im Netz, Meine pädiatrische Praxis), gynecologists (Meine GynPraxis), ENT specialists (Mein HNO-Arzt), internists (Innere Medizin), pulmonologists (Mein Lungenarzt), neurologists (Mein Neurologe), psychiatrists (Mein Psychiater), anesthesiologists (Anästhesie und Schmerzmedizin), and urologists (Urologie). Additional services include Konsile (specialist medical consultations), PädAssist digital monitoring diaries, and the FortbildungsAkademie im Netz for continuing medical education. The platform integrates with Keycloak for SSO, uses Firebase/Apple services for push notifications, and maintains strict GDPR compliance with end-to-end encryption for video consultations and chat communications.

Scale indicators1 record

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Medatixx: German practice management software provider serving thousands of ambulatory practices. Adjacent incumbent that could embed MONKS-style telemedicine features, creating integration competition for the same physician offices.
• CompuGroup Medical (CGM): Major German-listed vendor of physician practice management software (PVS) with telemedicine modules. Overlaps with MONKS at the practice-software layer and increasingly competes in certified video consultation for ambulatory practices.
• Doctolib: Europe's largest doctor booking and telehealth platform, dominant in Germany and France. Directly comparable as a physician-facing SaaS platform offering appointment booking and video consultation to ambulatory practices — but operating at vastly greater scale and with broader geographic reach.

Direct peers

• TeleClinic: Germany-based telehealth provider offering video consultations with KBV certification. Comparable as a regulated German teleconsultation alternative competing for the same statutory-insured ambulatory physicians and patients.
• Patientus: German video consultation platform explicitly built for physicians in the KBV/SGBV framework. Closest direct competitor to MONKS' Videosprechstunde product, with a similar focus on certified, reimbursable teleconsultation for ambulatory practices.
• arzttermine.de: German online appointment booking service for medical practices. Overlaps with MONKS' Online-Terminverwaltung (OTV) product on the scheduling layer for ambulatory practices in Germany.
• jameda: Germany's largest doctor directory and appointment booking platform (Doctolib-owned). Directly comparable to MONKS' Ärzteverzeichnis directory product and competes for physician visibility and patient acquisition in the same specialty sites.
• samedi: Berlin-based healthcare appointment and care coordination platform used by hospitals, practices and patients. Comparable as a German booking/scheduling and care-navigation SaaS serving physicians with an adjacent video/coordination stack.

Regional players

• Doctena: European online appointment booking and practice management platform active in Germany and other EU markets. Comparable as a regional SaaS for physician scheduling with a similar SMB-practice go-to-market in DACH.
• Zava (formerly DrEd): European direct-to-patient telehealth provider operating in Germany and the UK. Comparable business model in digital physician-patient consultation but with a D2C, condition-focused angle rather than MONKS' association-led physician SaaS model.
