Vantis, a German company acting as an integrated provider of primary care and digitally supported therapies, reports having raised EUR 10 million in its latest funding round led by Angelini Ventures, with participation from Bayern Kapital and Twip Impact Ventures, the round also saw contributions from existing investors, firstminute and b2venture.
The company, with a network of physicians and practices, uses specific applications and integrated patient care to target people with chronic diseases for daily disease management. The holistic person-centred approach promoted by Vantis includes both medical care in the practice and support via digital technologies and virtual solutions such as video consultations and digital health apps, to follow patients in depth and with individual goals over the long term, enabling continuous monitoring, with the aim of improving the care and quality of life of those suffering from chronic diseases.
The Vantis Heart app, for example, developed by the company together with doctors, allows patients suffering from chronic coronary artery disease to keep track of the disease, receive advice and guidance on its management, and encourage healthier lifestyles; the data recorded via the app allows the doctor, after an initial visit, to keep track of the patient’s progress and health and to intervene, in a timely manner, with respect to individual needs. Vantis has also developed a specific app dedicated to hypertension.
Vantis’ solutions fit into the context of a major challenge that Germany, like many European countries, is facing in primary care, namely the shortage of general practitioners, resulting in a lack of coverage and worsening care, and, at the same time, the continuous increase in the number of patients suffering from chronic diseases (according to calculations by the Robert Bosch Foundation, Germany could face a shortage of more than 10,000 general practitioners by 2035: a gap that threatens to lead to a significant lack of coverage, especially in rural areas).
In this sense, the company aims to offer, through technology, a solution to the problem through both efficiency improvements and optimised practice management. By harnessing data-driven treatment methods and digitising practice workflows, Vantis enables doctors to care for significantly more patients on the one hand; on the other hand, the integration of treatment solutions via digital and virtual tools facilitates more in-depth, data-supported care, enabling better treatment outcomes and facilitating disease management for patients.
The newly acquired capital will be invested in the further development of Vantis’ proactive, data-driven technology and in the creation of modern, digitally connected healthcare facilities that lighten the workload of physicians and sustainably improve treatment outcomes for patients. With this in mind, Vantis is enhancing its use of telemedicine, continuous monitoring, digitally supported therapies and processes implemented by artificial intelligence.
To achieve these and other ambitious goals, Vantis plans to significantly expand its team. The company is actively looking for entrepreneurial talent eager to help shape the German healthcare system, as well as medical and practice management professionals.
“Vantis is redefining primary care by combining digital innovation and direct clinical experience. Their approach not only simplifies practice operations, but also enables doctors to provide more personalised and data-driven care, particularly for patients with chronic conditions. This is in line with our commitment to support companies that bring tangible, technology-enabled improvements to healthcare,’ explains Nils Bottler, principal for digital health at Angelini Ventures, in a note.
Till Jansen, co-founder and CEO of Vantis, emphasises: ‘Significant investments are essential for the digital transformation of the healthcare system, so that everyone benefits: doctors, patients and payers. As a software company with its own medical practices, we have a specific ability to adapt our technology to the current challenges of primary care and to continuously optimise it. Our goal is to achieve better care outcomes for patients while simplifying the daily routines of doctors, who can then focus more on what really matters: providing medical care.”
“We invest in young companies that are ready to challenge the status quo and bring innovations to the market. With the combination of its general practice and innovative digital health applications, Vantis aims to sustainably improve primary care for both doctors and patients. This forward-looking strategy makes Vantis a promising investment for us. The company offers a solution in line with current trends and responds to the growing needs of the healthcare market. Furthermore, Vantis convinces with a solid and diversified business model and attractive growth prospects,’ adds Monika Steger, managing director of Bayern Kapital.
