Lillian Care Raises €2.4M to Develop Hybrid Primary Care Platform
Lillian Care, a pioneering healthcare startup, has secured €2.4 million in funding to enhance its revolutionary primary care platform. This funding, led by Nina Capital, brings the total investment in Lillian Care to an impressive €5 million. The company’s innovative platform solves the growing scarcity of primary care physicians, especially in rural regions.
Lillian Care’s platform introduces a novel hybrid approach to primary care delivery. Founded by Linus Drop, Dr. Florian Fuhrmann, and Markus Liesmann, the platform empowers nurses to be the first point of contact for outpatients with health concerns. These nurses perform approximately 60% of all treatments with digital supervision and support from doctors. This model effectively allows physicians to allocate more time to intricate medical cases. Germany currently faces a pressing shortage of primary care physicians, particularly in underserved areas. Marc Subirats, General Partner at Nina Capital, stated,
“Lillian’s adaptation to the German situation is the best we have seen to provide close-to-home general practice services for an increasingly underserved and aging society.”
The funding secured by Lillian Care comes at a critical juncture, with around 4,000 primary care physicians’ offices currently vacant. Studies predict that by 2035, a staggering 11,000 primary care physician positions will remain unfilled, severely impacting the healthcare system. Approximately 40% of all German counties are grappling with physician shortages. Lillian Care’s platform is poised to alleviate this crisis.
Lillian Care’s commitment to enhancing healthcare accessibility, especially in underserved regions, is a promising step towards addressing the pressing healthcare challenges in Germany. This latest funding injection will further empower their mission to revolutionize primary care delivery and ensure quality medical services for all.
