About Myosotis

Myosotis, operating under the brand MYO, is a German health-tech company that has developed a communication and organization platform specifically for the nursing and care sector. Founded in 2018 by Jasper Böcker and Felix W T. Wenzel, the company aims to address the communication inefficiencies and documentation burdens prevalent in inpatient and outpatient care facilities. The founders' backgrounds are complementary; Böcker brings experience from the Boston Consulting Group, focusing on digital transformation in the healthcare sector, while Wenzel has a background in building digital platforms. The core of MYO's offering is a GDPR-compliant software-as-a-service (SaaS) application designed to connect caregivers, doctors, relatives, and other stakeholders involved in a patient's care. The platform facilitates secure messaging, digital handover reports, and the sharing of important documents and updates, effectively replacing outdated methods like fax machines, paper notes, and telephone chains. This digital approach aims to save time for nursing staff, allowing them to focus more on direct patient care. The business model is based on subscriptions, with care facilities paying a monthly fee to use the platform. MYO's service streamlines daily routines by centralizing information and making it accessible via smartphones, tablets, or desktop computers. Key features include a digital resident file, a handover book, and a secure chat function for quick coordination. By digitizing these processes, the platform not only enhances efficiency but also improves the quality and documentation of care. The company has seen significant adoption, with several thousand care facilities across Germany utilizing its services.
