Our founding story

Initally from inside Charité, dotbase was born in 2024 out of the necessity to rethink medical software. Frustrated from the rigidity of hospital information systems and their data, our team of clinicians and engineers set out to build a new platform that truly understands clinical needs and dynamically adapts to medical knowledge – a healthcare toolset designed for the 21st-century.

Today dotbase grew into an operating system for data-driven precision medicine, enabling:

  • A simple, but powerful workspace for clinical staff, patients, and healthcare providers.
  • A high-resolution data layer for complex specialties linking patient goals, clinical documentation, and evidence-based medical decisions.
  • An connected system that just works with anything: traditional and modern HIS, ePAs, EHDS, and decentralised health records.
  • A scalable, extendable, community-driven ecosystem that seamlessly bridges between research and routine care.

Our Approach

We believe the future of healthcare is collaborative, adaptive, and deeply relies on humans. These principles guide every decision we make – helping us build tools that not only work in practice but evolve with those who use them.

Led by the Frontline

We started where care actually happens. dotbase is built hand-in-hand with medical professionals in real-world settings, ensuring that every feature reflects frontline needs – not boardroom assumptions. Clinical teams shape the platform, driving relevance, usability, and trust from day one.

Built to Adapt

No two healthcare environments are the same and healthcare knowledge continously grows. dotbase is modular, interoperable, and scalable – ready to fit the complexity of today’s systems and grow with tomorrow’s needs. With a FHIR-native core and flexible semantic engine, institutions can customize deeply without losing coherence or maintainability.

AI-Enabled, Human-Led

We see AI as a powerful partner – as co-pilots – but not as a substitute for human care. dotbase enables responsible integration of transparent, explainable, and evidence-based models – whether in-house or third-party. By making clinical expertise the driver, we combine human insight with machine precision to support, not override, good decisions.

Powered by Collective Clinical Intelligence

Medical knowledge shouldn't live in silos. dotbase thrives on crowd intelligence – letting clinicians, researchers, and care teams co-create and share better workflows, data models, and decision paths. Every contribution strengthens the whole system, aligned with FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.

Efficiency Through Effectiveness
dotbase enables healthcare teams to focus on what improves patient outcomes. Efficiency is the result of truly effective care. Instead of just targeting throughput or cutting corners, we optimize care with precise, structured data and tools – reducing friction, avoiding staff burnout, and aligning effort with real impact on the patient side.

We are building the Operating System for the Future of Care – join us.
