What medicalmotion does

medicalmotion GmbH, founded in 2017 in Munich by brothers Sven and Tobias Klimpel, develops and operates a Class 1 MDR-certified mobile digital therapeutics platform for individualized multimodal pain therapy. The product is a single mobile application (iOS, Android) and accompanying web application that combines AI-supported physiotherapy, mindfulness, breathing exercises, educational podcasts, and a Health Cockpit for tracking pain areas, symptoms, and progress. The underlying expert system processes anatomical principles, functional relationships, diagnoses, complaint patterns, and daily user-reported NRS pain scores to generate individualized exercise recommendations that adapt in real time, with input augmented by certified physiotherapists via an in-app chat and a 2024-launched interface enabling therapist-driven real-time adjustments. The platform addresses 56 body pain areas across 150+ complaints and has been the subject of 5+ clinical studies reporting 89% patient satisfaction and 8/10 users perceiving symptom improvement within 8 weeks.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer subscription model (weekly through 12-month terms) but is primarily distributed through channel partnerships with health insurance companies in Germany and Switzerland. Medicalmotion began contracting with insurers in 2020; by 2024 more than 23 insurers reimburse the app for their policyholders, who receive activation codes that the company bills against. End users are individuals with acute, sub-acute, or chronic neuromusculoskeletal and certain neurological pain, as well as users seeking prevention. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional venture funding, and in 2024 launched Pain Lab, a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on pain data analysis and healthcare research, indicating a longer-term intent to monetize the accumulated user dataset beyond the consumer app.
