To do this, the medical technology company relies on its own favorite music. The desired music is checked for therapeutic potential via the website and the individual tinnitus frequency is filtered out of the music. By listening to the edited pieces of music, the overactive nerve cells in the listening center are inhibited. The perceived volume of the subjective tinnitus tone can be reduced noticeably.

With the Lifetime app, medical documents and smart health data are exchanged locally between patient smartphone and doctor. The special thing about it: No internet is required for data transmission. LifeTime consists of a small piece of hardware called LifeHub, which works for every doctor regardless of the system via Plug’n Play and a clear app for the common platforms. All the patient has to do is hold their smartphone close to the LifeHub. Data can then be transferred in both directions. The patient can thus guarantee his doctor access to all information relevant to the treatment in order to ensure the best treatment.

Patientus

The Lübeck start-up Patientus offers an online ehealth consultation for doctors and patients. Her idea: to enable a ehealth conference between doctor and patient that is easy to integrate into everyday life, is based on a secure connection and can be used from all devices without additional software.

In the end, the decision was made to use a browser-based solution. The conversation participants make an appointment and then communicate via ehealth chat via a separately opened browser window. In addition to informational meetings, doctors can also offer existing patient consultations for follow-up and a second opinion consultation for the assessment of a second specialist.

The attending doctor decides whether the online viewing and consultation hour is medically sensible in the respective specialist area or in the special treatment situation and represents a recommended addition to a practice visit. He then instructs the use of the online portal. However, a free search for a doctor as with Patientus is not possible.
