Innotas Group AG

What Innotas Group AG does

Innotas Group AG is a privately held Swiss medical technology company headquartered in Tägerwilen, Thurgau, on Lake Constance, founded in 2018. The company operates with a dual model: it designs, brands, and sells its own consumer medical products, while simultaneously acting as a product-development partner that takes other companies' concepts through to market-ready products. Core owned products are the LifePad® resuscitation aid, a chest-placed 'Help the Helper' device that provides optical and acoustic CPR guidance during sudden cardiac arrest, and the PocDoc® smart first aid system, which pairs a hardware first aid kit with an offline-capable mobile app that walks users through over 300 treatment steps via a simple question-and-answer flow, with components color-coded to the kit. A specialised variant, PocDoc® Pet Connect, extends the platform to veterinary emergencies for dogs and cats, including phone and video access to animal emergency doctors.

Innotas monetises through two revenue streams: hardware sales of its own branded products directly to consumers via dedicated websites (lifepad-cpr.com, pocdoc.eu, pocdoc.pet), and professional development services billed to partner companies. Distribution is anchored by the strategic 'LifePad® by beurer' co-development and OEM relationship with Beurer GmbH, supplemented by distribution through Franz Kalff GmbH and emergency-response adoption via the Björn Steiger Foundation; the mobile application layer is delivered in partnership with software firm Lulububu.

The company is led by Bernhard Bihler as Chairman of the Board, with a lean headcount of approximately nine employees. Operational signals indicate a privately held, early-stage commercial entity: the German imprint references 'Innotas Group AG i. Gr.' (in formation), no funding rounds or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and recognition to date consists of the 2022 Red Dot Award and the 2022 Global Innovation Award for LifePad®, alongside Swiss Engineering acknowledgment. The company's strategic posture combines consumer medical-device branding with a B2B services arm, positioning it as a Swiss MedTech innovation studio rather than a vertically integrated device manufacturer.
