Resilience Care Acquires Recovery Cat to Accelerate European Expansion

As a leader in chronic disease management, Resilience Care is currently deployed in more than 220 healthcare facilities across France, Belgium, and Germany. In psychiatry, its remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution dedicated to mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorders) is implemented in over 25 French healthcare facilities in France. The company's partners include major players such as Ramsay Santé and Inicea (Clariane Group). 

Mental health disorders are one of the leading causes of morbidity worldwide, yet access to appropriate care remains significantly constrained relative to current demand. Faced with this public health challenge, Resilience Careʼs ambition is to establish RPM as a standard of care in psychiatry, enabling earlier identification of at-risk situations, supporting treatment adherence, and improving patientsʼ quality of life. The acquisition of Recovery Cat allows Resilience Care to accelerate its footprint in Germany. Both organizations share a commitment to making medical innovation accessible to as many patients as possible. 

A German Pioneer in Remote Monitoring in Psychiatry 

Co-Founded in 2020 by Dr. Jakob Kaminski, a psychiatrist and researcher, Recovery Cat emerged from research conducted at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin's Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences. Supported by the German Prototype Fund and the Berlin Institute of Health Digital Health Accelerator, the company pioneered a hybrid psychiatric care pathway in Germany. Recovery Cat has developed a therapy monitoring platform for people with severe psychiatric disorders deployed in nearly 20 hospitals and practices. The company also secured a selective care contract with Techniker Krankenkasse (TK), Germanyʼs largest statutory health insurer, giving patients free access to the app and enabling healthcare providers to receive reimbursement for their therapy monitoring activities. In the coming months, Recovery Catʼs centers will gradually transition to Resilience Careʼs platform, while the teams will deepen existing, well-established partnerships. 

"By integrating Recovery Cat, a company with a strong partners network, solid scientific foundations, deep local expertise, and a care contract with Germanyʼs largest insurer, we are strengthening our position as a European player and advancing our ambition to make remote monitoring a standard of care," said Jonathan Benhamou, co-founder & CEO of Resilience Care.

 "We founded Recovery Cat with the conviction that people living with severe psychiatric disorders should benefit from personalized, data-driven and empathetic care on eye-level. Joining Resilience Care gives us access to broader clinical, technical, and operational capabilities to continue our commitment to patients," said Dr. Jakob Kaminski, co-founder & CEO of Recovery Cat. 

“Recovery Cat is an example of what translational research is meant to achieve: technology-push and clinic-pull synergize to create a product improving care for patients in routine practice. With our spin-off now joining a European partner, medical innovation from Berlin creates impact far beyond the point of origin.," said Prof. Dr. Christopher Baum, Chief Translational Research Officer at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Chair of the Board of Directors of the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH).

"The gap between what psychiatric patients need and what our system can currently deliver is widening. Continuous remote monitoring lets us see how people are actually doing between appointments, rather than relying on a snapshot every few weeks," said Univ. Prof. Dr. med. Malek Bajbouj, Director of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at Campus Charité Mitte.
