Vertama closes seven-figure seed round to digitize medical reporting in German hospitals

BERLIN – Vertama has closed a seven-figure seed funding round led by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), joined by Berlin Angel Fund and additional business angels. The capital will accelerate the expansion of Vertama’s platform for automating statutory reporting processes in hospital environments.

German hospitals are legally required to submit a wide range of reports to public health authorities — from infection control notifications to bed occupancy data. In many facilities these processes still run manually, tying up clinical staff and introducing unnecessary risk of error. Vertama automates these workflows system-independently, operating directly from within each hospital’s existing clinical information system.

More than 50 hospitals already live

At the time of the funding round, over 50 German hospitals were already using Vertama’s solutions. The core products are ELIM for electronic infection protection reporting and BELIM for automated bed occupancy reporting to the Robert Koch Institute’s DEMIS system. Both are available via the SAP Store and can be integrated into a broad range of clinical systems with minimal setup.

“The solution addresses significant market challenges and digitizes manual processes system-independently,” said Frank Reinecke, Principal at HTGF.

Scaling and product expansion

The new funding will drive the scaling of Vertama’s existing product portfolio and support the development of additional reporting workflows for use across hospitals and public authorities. The goal: to relieve German hospitals of administrative burden while improving the quality and legal reliability of data exchange with government bodies.

“The services can be efficiently implemented across different clinical information systems with minimal setup steps,” said André Sturm, CEO of Vertama.
