Company
Founded in 2014 and based in Hamburg, connected-health.eu is the company that develops LifeTime. The app allows patients to store and manage their health data on their smartphones. Documents such as reports or x-rays can be imported into the app after medical consultations via a piece of connective hardware for medical practices and hospitals. The app also allows doctors to access their patients' previous reports.
LifeTime is currently being tested in 20 Hamburg medical practices. The official launch date has been set to mid-2016.
