What curendo does

curendo is a digital care education platform headquartered in Berlin, Germany, operating as a brand of Töchter & Söhne Gesellschaft für digitale Helfer mbH. The company delivers 15+ online nursing and caregiving courses certified under § 45 SGB XI, the German Social Security Code provision that mandates statutory nursing care insurance coverage for caregiver education. Courses target three primary user segments: family caregivers (Pflegende Angehörige), neighborhood helpers (Nachbarschaftshelfer), and remote caregivers (Fernpflegende Angehörige), covering topics including home care basics, dementia, stroke aftercare, diabetes management, incontinence, neighborhood help, safety, and caregiver self-care. The platform is delivered via a web application (curendo.de / pflege.curendo.de) and companion iOS and Android mobile apps with offline learning capability, and awards official Teilnahmebescheinigung (certificates of attendance) upon 80% course completion.

The underlying technology is a standard e-learning architecture: video-based interactive content, progress tracking, certificate issuance, and cross-device synchronization. The platform has accumulated 421,880+ verified user reviews with a 4.7/5 average rating, indicating strong consumer engagement. No AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or SDK integrations are disclosed in available data.

curendo operates a B2B2C revenue model in which costs are covered by statutory German nursing care insurance funds (gesetzliche Pflegekassen) per § 45 SGB XI, making the courses free for end users with statutory health insurance. Distribution is driven by channel partnerships with major German statutory health insurers (AOK, IKK classic, HEK Hanseatische Krankenkasse, KKH, hkk, spectrumK, mkk meine krankenkasse) plus institutional partners (Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe, pflege.de) that promote courses to their members.
