TCC, a burgeoning telemedicine and AI company based in Germany, has successfully secured €20 million in Series A funding. This funding round, led by Captain Thomas Pötzsch, a notable entrepreneur in shipping and logistics, represents a pivotal moment in TCC’s goal to implement scalable tele-intensive care solutions in hospitals. In addition to financial support, Captain Pötzsch will offer mentorship, aiding TCC in its efforts to digitalize and enhance outpatient care access in alignment with hospital reform initiatives.
Established in 2022, TCC aims to provide remote assistance for intensive care units (ICUs) through AI-driven technologies. The company is dedicated to creating algorithms that analyze high-frequency vital signs to support real-time patient monitoring. Its digital dashboards enable effective communication between healthcare providers, fostering a collaborative approach to patient care. “This successful financing round positions us to advance our algorithm development program toward a comprehensive digital twin,” states Prof. Dr. Christian Storm, CEO and co-founder of TCC.
TCC’s services are already operational in various hospitals, including Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, Krankenhaus Region Hannover, and the University Medical Centre Schleswig-Holstein. The company’s team, comprising over ten intensive care physicians, provides round-the-clock telemedical support, risk assessment, and preventive care from its locations in Hamburg and Berlin. Currently, TCC manages telehealth services for more than 3,000 beds globally, including 300 in Germany, and supports facilities like South Africa’s Netcare, which comprises 44 hospitals.
With this new funding, TCC plans to enhance its digital capabilities and optimize hospital workflows, contributing to alleviating pressure on healthcare systems while maintaining high standards of care. “This fresh capital will facilitate our continued growth and allow us to enter new significant markets,” adds David Barg, co-founder of TCC.
