Convales

What Convales does

Convales is a privately held German healthcare holding company headquartered in Jena, founded in 2004 by brothers Ingmar Wegner and Dr. Christian Wegner. The group operates a portfolio of interconnected healthcare companies focused on complex therapy provision, organized into two layers: 'Healthy Ventures' (operating subsidiaries) and 'Healthy Services' (centralized management and infrastructure). Operating subsidiaries include Medipolis, a nationwide pharmaceutical-nursing full-service provider with over 500 employees serving patients with complex diseases; Doceins, which operates approximately 100 outpatient medical care centers (MVZ) across Germany; Doceins Lungenklinik Neustadt, a major lung specialty clinic in Thuringia; Viselle Augenzentren, a multi-site eye care chain; and the Gesellschaft für digitale Therapiebegleitung (DTB), which develops digital applications for therapy accompaniment. Convales Services GmbH provides centralized technical and commercial infrastructure across the group — including Finance, Controlling, IT Infrastructure, Human Resources, Digital Innovations, Quality Management, and Fleet Management — while Convales Patient Solutions operates as a B2B consulting arm serving pharmaceutical, biotech, life sciences, medical device, pharmacy network, and digital health clients with patient support programs, clinical study services, and DiGa-certified digital health solutions.

The company's revenue model is multi-stream: managed services fees from Convales Holding subsidiaries, professional services engagements from pharmaceutical and life sciences clients (consulting, patient support programs, clinical studies, hardship programs), professional services for DiGa certification and digital health product development, and transaction-based pharmaceutical distribution through the Medipolis network. Pricing is entirely quote-based B2B enterprise; no public pricing is disclosed. The GTM motion is sales-led and direct, with dedicated business development managers (e.g., Roy Triphaus, Eric Dresselt) engaging enterprise pharma and biotech accounts, supplemented by industry presence at events such as the Pharma Dialog conference. Core technology assets include a proprietary middleware layer for IT system integration, an electronic order entry platform, the e-Rezept REGIO app built on Google Flutter, a Medipolis e-commerce portal (medipolis-intensivshop.de), and a dedicated in-house digitalization team of 18 specialists across six functional areas. Geographic footprint is Germany-only, with no international expansion claimed. The company operates as a privately held, founder-controlled enterprise with no external institutional investors identified in the available records.
