Germany-based, Recovery Cat develops an app to support therapy planning, medication adjustment & crisis management for patients with severe mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or recurrent depressive disorders). By regularly querying the (target) symptoms, side effects, medication intake & life events adapted to the therapy, patients & therapists can better understand whether & how the therapy works. Noticing any possible changes & regular personalized follow-up can help patients remain stable in the long term. Interestingly, the app’s code has been open-sourced. Recovery Cat was founded in 2020 & spun out of the BIH Digital Health Accelerator in autumn 2022 by Alissa Maresa Rohrbach (CEO), Jakob Kaminski & Andreas Pittrich.
