Start-up with ambition and clear vision

Our history

Acalta is a company with roots in Erlangen. Despite or perhaps because of our young company history, we are proud of what we have already achieved to get closer to our vision.

The idea

What if we could care for patients digitally throughout the entire treatment process? At first it was just an idea - today it is the cornerstone of our vision. It all started with a doctoral thesis on the topic of "Acceptance and architecture of a trustworthy patient connection based on the FHIR standard".
