voize

Voize provides an AI-driven voice assistant designed to automate and streamline clinical documentation for healthcare professionals. The company was founded in 2020 by twin brothers Fabio and Marcel Schmidberger, along with Erik Ziegler. The inspiration for the company came from the brothers' personal experience witnessing the time-consuming nature of nursing documentation when their grandfather was in a nursing home.

The company's core product is a mobile application that allows nurses and caregivers to document patient care by speaking into their smartphones. The proprietary AI-powered speech recognition technology is specifically trained for the nursing environment, capable of understanding complex medical terminology, abbreviations, regional dialects, and speech patterns of non-native speakers. The system transcribes the voice input into structured, compliant documentation entries and synchronizes them with existing electronic health record (EHR) systems. A key feature is its ability to run locally on smartphones without a constant internet connection, which enhances data privacy and ensures reliability in environments with poor connectivity.

Voize's platform offers several features, including a mobile care assistant for accessing care plans and patient data, voice documentation for care reports and vital signs, photo documentation for wounds, an integrated medication plan, and emergency support functions. It serves clients in the elderly and long-term care, home care, and hospital sectors. The business model is primarily B2B SaaS, with clients paying a monthly license fee per user. By automating administrative tasks, the company states it can save caregivers significant time per shift, allowing them to focus more on direct patient care and reducing burnout.

Based in Berlin, Germany, Voize has seen significant growth and is used in over 1,100 care facilities by more than 75,000 nurses. The company has secured substantial funding through multiple rounds, including a seed round of $9 million and a Series A round of $50 million, with investors such as Balderton Capital, HV Capital, Redalpine, and Y Combinator. The funding is intended to fuel expansion across Europe and into the US market.
