DOCYET is developing a digital health navigator to help sick people to find their way around the health care system. The navigator helps patients make decisions and connects them with medical service providers both on- and offline. To do so, DOCYET uses algorithms based on thousands of data points to offer highly competent consultation for each specific situation within seconds.

For these accomplishments, KARL-KOLLE-Stiftung honored the startup with the “Best of Mitteldeutschland” Award, which comes with EUR 3,000 in prize money. Professor Winfried Pinninghoff, Chair of the foundation’s Board of Trustees, personally presented the award.
