The future of preventive health care.
​
We develop health programmes for professional groups. And we start where the need is greatest: in care.
LifeBonus is the market leader in the field of occupation-specific health promotion for caregivers. We serve thousands of professional caregivers across Germany. We support caring relatives with the »ich pflege« app. And we bundle today's health expertise with tomorrow's digital possibilities.

While the number of people in need of care continues to rise, the number of professional caregivers continues to decline. In no other sector is the sickness rate so high and so many people leave their jobs due to health reasons as in the care sector. If we want to maintain the health of caregivers, we have to start where they spend most of their lives and where the health damage occurs: on the job.
In Germany alone, there are more than 5 million caregivers who look after their relatives "on the side", are not trained and as a result often suffer physical or mental illnesses themselves. 8 out of 10 people who need care are cared for by their relatives. These people also urgently need support so that our health system does not collapse.
LifeBonus HealthCoaches.
For facilities.
Our LifeBonus trainers are deployed in over 50 clinics and care facilities and train caregivers to become HealthCoaches. This gives us first-hand knowledge of the challenges of everyday care and allows us to incorporate this experience into the expansion of our digital products.
The health of care is close to our hearts.
