TWT Digital Health

What TWT Digital Health does

TWT Digital Health GmbH is a Heidelberg-based, foundation-owned professional services firm that builds regulated digital health software for the German healthcare market. Founded in 1997 and operating as a subsidiary of TWT Group (whose economic returns flow to the Greven Stiftung foundation), the company employs 50+ specialists and serves pharmaceutical, medical device, healthcare provider, and digital health clients — including more than 75% of the Top-10 pharmaceutical companies in Germany such as Bayer, Roche, AbbVie, GSK, and Lilly.

The company's offering is a unified portfolio of engineering and consulting services rather than a packaged product platform. Core capabilities include custom medical software development, Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), DiGA/DiPA certification consulting, MDR conformity and regulatory approval support, usability engineering, AI-assisted development, and managed hosting of healthcare data under DIN EN ISO 13485 (medical device quality) and DIN EN ISO 27001 (information security) certifications. A digital health marketing practice adds communication strategy, content, and TYPO3-based content management for healthcare clients. Delivery is project-based from ideation through launch and ongoing operations, with managed cloud hosting as the primary recurring revenue layer.

Commercially, TWT Digital Health runs an enterprise field-sales motion anchored on direct engagement with healthcare decision-makers, using a free 'Digital Health Sprechstunde' consultation as a top-of-funnel entry point and supporting outreach through LinkedIn, Xing, whitepapers, and a healthcare-focused blog. Operating geographies are concentrated in the DACH region, with no disclosed international expansion. The combined enterprise sales posture, deep regulatory credentials, and foundation-owned capital structure position the firm as a stable, specialized engineering partner to the German regulated healthcare ecosystem rather than a venture-backed growth-stage vendor.
