About the Company

Die Dokumentation in Reha-Einrichtungen ist einer der größten Zeitfresser, der wertvolle Ressourcen bindet und den Klinikalltag erheblich belastet.

FICUS HEALTH ist ein Berliner Unternehmen, das mit KI-basierter Software die Dokumentation automatisiert. Aus Patientengesprächen werden mittels Spracherkennung und Künstlicher Intelligenz DRV-konforme Arzt- und Entlassberichte erstellt - für maximale Punktzahl bei Peer-Review-Verfahren. Ärzt:innen und Therapeut:innen werden entlastet und gewinnen wertvolle Zeit für die Patientenversorgung. Die Einarbeitungszeit medizinischer Teams wird deutlich verkürzt, insbesondere für ausländische Fachkräfte durch das Ausgleichen von Sprachbarrieren.

Hinter FICUS steht ein Team aus Spezialisten für Rehabilitation, Künstliche Intelligenz und Softwareentwicklung. Das Unternehmen ist Teil des größten europäischen KI-Campus in Berlin.
