We work on next generation healthcare made of bits and bytes
We develop digital drugs
At Flying Health, we build serious digital health companies. Each of them develops next generation therapies – made of bits and bytes. We call them digital drugs.
Right in the center of Berlin, our experts from the worlds of science, business and technology work the Flying Health digital drug pipeline. Smart value chains make them available worldwide.
Our mission is to improve human health using digital approaches. We discover innovative ideas in our science lab, validate them clinically and build them into digital drug companies.
How we work with
Startups
At Flying Health, we focus on serious digital health. We have been a trusted partner to our digital health startups since 2013, working closely with founders during both early and later stages. We address technical questions such as clinical validation and medical device certification, offer expertise related to market access, and support founders in their search for the right investors and exits.
We believe that the therapies of the next decade will be made of bits and bytes. The latest companies in our portfolio have been built inside Flying Health, focusing on these next generation therapies. To do so, we established a science lab as part of the company building team, where outstanding scientists work on discovering innovative digital drug ideas. We then build these ideas into digital drugs bringing together expertise in science, tech, product and business. Backed by the company building team we launch new ventures with strong founders and lead them through clinical validation and market access, to finally scale them into successful digital drug companies.
We would be happy to hear about your startup or idea, or get to know you if you are a scientist or entrepreneur interested in joining us to build digital drugs. Please contact us via startup@flyinghealth.com or the form on the bottom of this page.

At Flying Health, we believe that sustainable partnerships drive innovation and successful business. Thus, we established the Flying Health partner program: A network of visionary industry leaders coming from and moving into healthcare.

We provide each of them with relevant insights reflecting the latest market trends. We connect them to startups that match their digital strategies and provide a community that encourages sustainable collaboration. We maintain fruitful relationships with our partners through exclusive event formats, workshops, and other tailored services. Through the Flying Health partner program, we develop and disseminate a deep knowledge about the future of healthcare, technology and the process of scaling a digital health business. Together, we reach for a pole position in the emerging digital healthcare market.
