Cara Care is a leading German digital therapeutics company and part of Bayer, combining the agility of a growth-stage health tech company with the backing, scale, and credibility of a global healthcare leader. We build DiGA-listed products that deliver measurable clinical outcomes for patients and integrate deeply into the German healthcare system. Our ambition is to become a category leader in digital care by bringing together evidence-based medicine, outstanding user engagement, and scalable, compliant technology - while shaping how digital therapeutics connect to national health infrastructure and care delivery.
