Ficus Health provides artificial intelligence-based software focused on optimizing medical documentation for healthcare facilities, particularly rehabilitation clinics. Founded in August 2024 by serial entrepreneur and health tech investor Benjamin Pochhammer, the company aims to reduce the administrative burden on doctors and therapists. Pochhammer previously co-founded CASPAR Health, a market leader in digital rehabilitation and aftercare.
The company's core product uses intelligent voice recognition and proprietary AI algorithms to transform spoken patient-doctor conversations into structured, compliant medical documents in real-time. This includes admission notes, visit reports, and discharge letters. The system is designed to significantly decrease documentation time, by up to 70%, allowing medical staff to dedicate more time to patient care. The software creates discharge reports that are compliant with German pension insurance (DRV) standards, which is a key requirement for clinics to maximize revenue. It also features a peer-review function to identify and highlight missing information required by the DRV. The technology is GDPR-compliant, processes all data on German servers, and can neutralize language accents, a notable feature given that over 40% of doctors in German rehabilitation clinics are from other countries.
Ficus Health operates on a B2B model, targeting outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation facilities. The company reported collaborating with over 30 clinics within four months of its launch. It is a venture capital-backed entity, having received seed funding.
