The world's first prescribable digital therapeutic for burnout is here: HelloBetter Stress and Burnout! Germany is the world’s first country to cover a digital therapeutic for burnout through universal reimbursement – that means free access for more than 50 million adults with statutory health insurance in Germany. Our digital therapeutic HelloBetter Stress and Burnout has been approved by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) and thus will be permanently listed as a Digital Health Application (DiGA).

Often we forget in the everyday madness of startup life to take a deep breath and look back to see how far we have come. In January 2020, we launched the HelloBetter brand from scratch. While it took us almost 11 months to generate the first 100.000 visits, we now consistently generate well over 100.000 visits and substantial constant growth – every single month.
