Our mission
At Vantis we believe
Every person with a chronic illness should receive the best possible care. That's why we at Vantis focus on holistic solutions that simply work for patients. On-site at the doctor's office as well as digitally at home.
THE FOUNDING TEAM
The minds behind Vantis
The founding team has known each other for 15 years and is united by a common goal at Vantis: To support people with chronic diseases in actively shaping their health - with the help of state-of-the-art technology.
Aus einer Familie von Kardiologen kommend, war für mich die Modernisierung der Kardiologie der logische nächste Schritt. Beim Aufbau von EGYM, einem Unternehmen für smarte Fitnesslösungen, ist mir bewusst geworden, wie stark Technologie die Gesundheit von Menschen unterstützen kann.
In meiner vorherigen Tätigkeit bei Amazon habe ich gelernt, dass digitale Transformation für Millionen Menschen neue Möglichkeiten schafft. Vor allem der Bereich Gesundheit kann davon profitieren. Persönlich fasziniert mich der Umgang des Körpers mit Extremsituationen – in der Therapie des Bandscheibenvorfalls ebenso wie beim Bergsteigen oder Eisbaden.
Innovative technologies can fundamentally change our lives. At tado°, a smart home company, I have seen how technology can have a lasting impact on our lives and our environment. With Vantis, I now want to enable every patient to receive the treatment they deserve through intelligent systems.
THE FOUNDING TEAM
The minds behind Vantis
The founding team has known each other for 15 years and is united by a common goal at Vantis: To support people with chronic diseases in actively shaping their health - with the help of state-of-the-art technology.
While building EGYM, a smart fitness solutions company, I realized how powerful technology can be in supporting people's health. Coming from a family of cardiologists, modernizing cardiology was the logical next step for me.
In my previous job at Amazon, I learned that digital transformation creates new opportunities for millions of people. The health sector in particular can benefit from this. Personally, I am fascinated by how the body deals with extreme situations - in the therapy of herniated discs as well as in mountain climbing or ice bathing.
To realize this innovative approach, Kevin Wiesner (CTO) complements the founding trio. As an expert in the fields of app development and artificial intelligence, he completes the broad skillset of the founding team.
