ResMed Healthcare

What ResMed Healthcare does

ResMed Healthcare, legally ResMed Medizintechnik GmbH, is the German homecare subsidiary of US-listed ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD, ASX: RMD). It provides prescription-based home medical therapy to patients with obstructive sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic respiratory insufficiency, and neuromuscular respiratory conditions. Operations are anchored at the Munich regional headquarters and a Gremsdorf service and logistics site, supported by a nationwide German branch network and home-visit service model. The Healthcare division employs over 450 people in Germany (the wider German entity has over 750 employees) and serves more than 250,000 patients nationally.

The core offering is a therapy device-plus-service bundle spanning CPAP, APAP, and BiLevel positive airway pressure devices (AirSense, AirCurve, Lumis, S9 lines), stationary and portable oxygen concentrators and liquid oxygen systems, and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) devices with associated masks (AirFit series, AirTouch memory foam cushions, QuietAir exhalation). The underlying technology platform is the myAir patient app for daily therapy feedback and coaching, and the AirView clinician portal for remote monitoring, data review, and remote device adjustment. Devices transmit structured therapy data — usage hours, leak rates, AHI scores, adherence metrics — automatically; automatic pressure adjustment and anomaly detection for leaks and equipment faults operate at the device and platform level.

The business model is fundamentally a regulated, insurance-funded homecare service. Statutory health insurance companies (Krankenkassen) pay a negotiated supply flat rate (Versorgungspauschale) bundling device, accessories, and ongoing service, structured as multi-year contracts; privately insured patients are billed via their insurers. Comfort accessories and consumables are sold direct-to-patient through resmedshop.de on a pay-as-you-go basis. Patients are referred by physicians and sleep labs, onboarded at branches or via Doctolib video consultation, and supported through home setup visits, digital monitoring, and 24/7 technical service.
