A new name for bundled healthcare IT expertise: synava unites leading companies under one umbrella brand
Karlsruhe, April 02, 2025 – Six leading players in healthcare IT are presenting synava, a new, shared identity for their corporate group. Under this umbrella, medavis, epiNET, Digithurst, InformMe, MedDream, and POTTHOFF + PARTNER are pooling their expertise to actively drive digital transformation in healthcare.
With the new umbrella brand synava, the companies are sending a clear signal of shared values, strategic alignment, and close collaboration. Together with the majority shareholder, Bregal Unternehmerkapital Fonds, they aim to leverage even more synergies, accelerate innovation, and tap into untapped potential.
Stronger together
"Our group has long since proven itself – with synava, it now has its own name and a shared identity," says CEO Thomas Simon. "synava acts as a connecting element between the individual companies without being operationally active in the market itself. This will not change anything for customers, partners, and employees of the individual companies – except that they will benefit even more from the combined expertise and expanded product portfolio in the future."
From April 8 to 10, 2025, the companies of the synava Group will be exhibiting at the DMEA in Berlin, a trade fair for digital solutions and innovations in healthcare, and will be presenting their broad portfolio of digital health solutions for various medical disciplines – for radiology, medical viewing, patient communication, hygiene management, and rehabilitation.
A brand with vision: synava as a symbol of knowledge, structure and innovation
As an umbrella brand of currently six technology-leading companies, synava pursues the goal of creating structures, identifying market trends and customer needs early on, and transforming these into targeted measures within the group – always with the aim of being the most reliable and innovative partner in the market for customers and partners. This enables the development of software that meets the highest standards of quality, security, and efficiency.
Stephan Schmid, Partner at BU Bregal Unternehmerkapital ("BU"), says: "With the founding of synava, we are delighted to have established an umbrella brand and group that unites diverse digital health solutions, leverages their synergies, and drives continuous development. This will accelerate the digital transformation of healthcare and create a platform to attract other innovative players to the market as new partners."
