Smart Country Convention 2025: Vertama and AKDB present joint session in Berlin

On September 30, 2025, André Sturm (Vertama) and Michael Diepold (AKDB) presented a joint session at the Smart Country Convention in Berlin: “Digital Healthcare: Efficient Automation Through Interfaces.”

The session demonstrated how birth and death notifications can be handled end-to-end as machine-to-machine processes between hospital information systems and civil registry offices — without paper, without manual re-entry. AKDB provides the secure transmission infrastructure via its OK.Komm middleware; Vertama delivers the process logic that connects clinics and public authorities.

The presentation also covered DuBA: the digital transmission of judicial commitment orders and court decisions via Germany’s secure government mailbox infrastructure (beBPo) — an area where the AKDB and Vertama partnership is particularly significant.

The Smart Country Convention is one of Germany’s leading trade fairs for the digitalization of public administration.
