The Digimenz tablet app offers people with dementia customizable entertainment applications, such as cognitive and motor games and access to personal photo albums. This gives those affected employment and a better quality of life. Relatives and carers can view both the visualized game and user data as well as tips and information about the illness. Overall, Digimenz also supports communication and interaction between people with dementia and their relatives.

The electrotherapy method “Frequency-specific microcurrent” (FSM) is successfully used by physiotherapists to treat various physical complaints. FSM therapy, which is particularly common in competitive sports, is carried out using stationary devices in therapeutic practice. The team led by founder Markus Espelage, supporter Daniel Riedel and three strategic shareholders sees untapped potential here. In addition to in-patient treatment, they offer mobile FSM devices with therapist-friendly operating software. In doing so, they are bringing FSM from therapy to living rooms at home, which will enable more people to experience the positive FSM effects in the future.

MindAhead aims to provide early detection and intervention for cognitive impairment through an AI-driven assessment and tracking tool and a digital brain health therapy program.

minime is the first digital therapy diary that helps psychotherapists and their patients to document and track the course of therapy.
