Berlin, Germany, March 5, 2026
MyTherapy, one of the world’s leading digital health platforms with more than 12 million active users, and arztkonsultation, a leading German telemedicine provider, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate patient access to guideline-based therapy and strengthen long-term disease management for chronic conditions.
The collaboration launches with clinical obesity, one of the largest and fastest-growing chronic disease areas globally. Despite the availability of effective therapies, the care pathway remains fragmented, with persistent challenges including delayed diagnosis, long waiting times for specialist access, and suboptimal adherence and persistence.To address these gaps, the partners are establishing an integrated, end-to-end digital care pathway spanning the full patient journey — from early disease awareness and patient activation through telemedical diagnosis and guideline-based prescribing to medication access and structured adherence and persistence support.
The partnership combines two complementary capabilities: MyTherapy’s patient activation and medication management platform, which supports millions of patients in daily therapy management, including pharmacy connectivity and evidence-based adherence support arztkonsultation’s scalable telemedicine infrastructure, providing quality-assured access to primary care physicians and specialists based on clinical guidelines.
Through the digital integration of both services, the model aims to:
- Significantly reduce time-to-diagnosis- shorten waiting times for physician access
- Enable faster initiation of guideline-concordant therapy- provide seamless access to medication
- Improve long-term adherence and persistence
- Increase system efficiency through standardized digital processes
MyTherapy already supports millions of patients in managing chronic conditions and has demonstrated measurable impact on adherence and patient outcomes, the company behind MyTherapy. Together with arztkonsultation, we are connecting digital patient activation with structured physician access — closing the gap between patient engagement and clinical care.
