Munich, 02.08.2023 - Temedica, a Munich-based health insights company, announces the launch of their digital patient companion app "Tami". The app was developed in collaboration with AbbVie Germany and is targeting the approximately 400,000 people in Germany suffering from chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Tami is designed to help patients better manage their daily lives and provides them with personalized insights into their respective disease progression. The app offers a variety of different features, including the functionality to track individual symptoms and long-term disease course, as well as to identify potential influencing factors.

By connecting Temedica's real-world evidence platform "Permea" with the Tami app, Tami will be continuously enriched with valuable insights that arise from the linkage of relevant health-related real-world data. The collection and processing of this data fully comply with GDPR. Through Tami, patients gain direct access to relevant information about their individual disease course, possible influencing factors, and therapy-supporting measures. The data collected by Tami and Permea and the resulting scientific findings will also significantly contribute to gaining a comprehensive understanding of the care reality of IBD patients in Germany.

Gloria Seibert, Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Temedica, says:

“Together with AbbVie, we have combined our strengths and expertise to develop the best possible digital solution for patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. Patients often confront a multitude of different symptoms that can represent a significant burden in everyday life. With the Tami app and insights from our real-world evidence platform "Permea", we contribute to easing the everyday life of those affected and provide them with digital support according to their personal needs and disease progression.“
