Wer wir sind?
Recare is one of the leading digital startups in the German healthcare industry, aiming to rethink healthcare with a platform for digital care coordination. We find, coordinate, and manage capacities so healthcare actors can have more time for their patients.
Within a short time, Recare has brought together more than 660 acute and rehabilitation clinics as well as over 17,000 other service providers on its digital platform. Renowned hospitals and clinic groups such as Vivantes, Sana Kliniken AG, München Klinik, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, and Universitätsklinikum Essen are among Recare's customers and use the innovative Recare platform.
Job Description
About us: As one of the leading German HealthTech companies, we are reshaping discharge management - technology-driven, patient-centered, and free from bureaucracy. Besides our market-leading SaaS platform, we develop AI solutions that radically simplify processes in hospitals and post-acute care providers, relieve professionals, and focus back on patients. We already network two-thirds of all German hospitals with over 650 rehabilitation clinics and 25,000 care and homecare providers. With about 70 employees currently, we continue to grow - and we are looking for people with commitment who want to improve the healthcare system with us.
