Developed by the team that operates it

Since 2016, we have been developing digital solutions that make advice, knowledge and care more accessible. We operate our own platforms and build solutions under our customers’ brands. More than 1.5 million video consultations have already taken place through them.

How an idea became Tyme

It began with a sick child. When one of Matthias Kuss’s children fell ill, he looked for a way to obtain qualified advice without travelling across the city with a feverish toddler. He discovered that there was no secure marketplace for digital advice that also paid professionals fairly.

A dripping tap revealed the same gap shortly afterwards. Fast, qualified support from a distance was difficult to find in almost every sector.

In 2016, Matthias Kuss founded Tyme Group together with Jürgen Wier. Matthias contributed his experience in corporate development and innovation management, while Jürgen brought his expertise in software and IT.

Their shared goal remains the same today: to make digital advice secure, flexible and human while ensuring that the professionals providing it are fairly compensated.

  • 2016: Tyme Group is founded.
  • 2018: The concept wins the ADAC pitch at CEBIT.
  • May 2018: Germany relaxes the ban on remote medical treatment. We launch as the country’s second certified platform.
  • 2020: Usage of our platforms increases one hundredfold within a matter of weeks.
  • Today: More than 1.5 million video consultations have taken place on our platforms.

What we stand for

Human

Our technology is shaped around the needs of the people who use it. These include patients, midwives, doctors and consultants, not only IT specialists. A video consultation must therefore work reliably on an older smartphone and without technical instructions.

Secure

Data protection and reliability are built in from the beginning. Our servers are located in German data centres, and personal data remains within the EU. The video module is certified under Annex 31b BMV-Ä for the German statutory healthcare system.

Flexible

Our solutions grow with your requirements. You can start with a single booking widget on your existing website and later expand it into a complete platform under your own brand. There is no need to rebuild the existing solution.

Some customers began with a video module and now conduct research studies using the same technical foundation.

The people you work with

Around fifteen people work on our platforms, including our own team and long-standing partners. Each project is supported by a small, consistent team. Your contacts remain the same after launch.

Ongoing support. After launch, support, monitoring and further development are included in the ongoing contract. New modules can be added whenever they are needed without rebuilding the existing platform.

Vanessa Götzinger — Marketing and Communications. Vanessa makes the impact of our solutions visible and is the point of contact for communications, content and partnerships.

The people behind Tyme

Jürgen Wier

Founder and CTO. Jürgen is responsible for technology, IT strategy and the secure operation of our platforms. Since 2016, he has played a central role in developing every generation of our technology. He makes the technical decisions that support its security and certifiability.

Before founding Tyme, he managed major IT projects for IBM Global Services and Telefónica O2 Germany. He qualified as a Certified ScrumMaster in 2008 and founded wiwicon GmbH, which develops custom apps and enterprise solutions.

“It matters to us that people seeking advice receive professional support and that the experts providing it are paid fairly. This benefits everyone involved.”

Dr Matthias Kuss

Founder and CEO. Matthias is responsible for strategy, innovation and business development. He is your contact for new platforms, partnerships and commercial matters. He supports your project from the initial conversation through to a concrete proposal.

A physicist by training, he worked in corporate development and innovation management at The Boston Consulting Group. He later moved into industry, working for ZEISS and Allianz.

“We decided early on that our own brand should not appear on other people’s screens. Our customers operate under their own names. We stand behind them.”
