About us

The most effective inhaled therapies only offer their full benefit, if delivered correctly.

At VisionHealth, we develop innovative, patient centric digital health solutions that target more efficient inhaled drug delivery, leading to better clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients.

Inhalation is not easy for patients, with frequent device handling errors and minimal or no drug dose reaching the lung.
Inhalation coaching in real-time, at the patient’s home, is complex and costly.
Lack of “real” adherence control is a major issue for health care professionals, patients, pharma manufacturers and payers, in clinical research and commercial stages.

Passion for
health

We are passionate about the well-being of patients. We are convinced that digital therapies make a valuable, global contribution to better healthcare. We think and act independently.

Pioneering spirit achieving
new solutions

We develop innovative tools and solutions that enable real progress and improvements in therapy standards for patients in a connected world. We are actively shaping the transformation to digital healthcare solutions.

Expertise 4.0

We combine excellence in healthcare, digitalization, regulations and marketing to create unique interdisciplinary expertise. Our cosmopolitan team of experts has extensive experience in inhalation therapy.

Philipp:
"For most people in the world, healthcare is either too expensive, too far away or inadequate. In many ways, digital health has the potential to overcome these issues. In respiratory medicine, the drug needs to reach the lungs to be effective. Training and guidance of patients is a key element to treat chronically ill patients and enhance health."

Sabine:
"Inhalation of drugs provides rapid onset of action, high bioavailability, and targeted delivery to the respiratory system, minimizing systemic side effects. However, despite its benefits, this route of drug delivery is often underutilized. With Kata, I want to revolutionize inhalation therapy, making it as simple as swallowing a pill while ensuring effectiveness comparable to intravenous delivery."
