What curenect GmbH does

curenect GmbH is a Hamburg-based, privately-held German company founded in 2019 that provides Telematikinfrastruktur-as-a-Service (TIaaS) to German healthcare providers. Its core product, the TI-Gateway, replaces traditional single-box on-premise connectors with High-Speed-Konnektoren (HSK) deployed in certified data centers, enabling up to 4,000 instances per HSK and providing healthcare providers secure VPN-based access to TI applications including the electronic patient record (ePA), electronic prescription (eRezept), communication in healthcare (KIM), and electronic medication plan (eMP). Supporting products include a Kartenservice for eHBA and SMC-B card ordering and the curemobil mobile solution for smartphone-based TI access.

The company serves four primary verticals: pharmacies (Apotheken), nursing services (Pflegedienste), therapeutic practices (Heilmittelpraxen), and midwives (Hebammen), plus a software house (Softwarehäuser) channel for partners integrating TI connectivity into practice management software. Proprietary technology components include the access module (Zugangsmodul), a proprietary VPN access service, and in-house connector development, all gematik-certified. Management consists of two Managing Directors, Marius Biskupek and Stephan Losse.

The business model is recurring managed-service fees for TI-Gateway connectivity bundled with installation, support, and project coordination, partially offset by GKV-Spitzenverband subsidies for qualifying providers. Go-to-market combines self-serve online ordering portals (segment-specific), direct sales via phone and contact form, content marketing (blog, newsletter, SEO), and a software house partnership program. The company reports 90,000+ contracted physicians, dentists, psychotherapists, and pharmacies connected, and in April 2025 acquired SLIS to consolidate TI service delivery.
