At Media4Care, we believe in the power of technology to bring joy and dignity to seniors and those who care for them. Our journey began in 2013 when founder Marc Aurel Engels visited his grandfather in a Stuttgart care facility and noticed how engaged he became with family photos on a tablet, despite his dementia. That moment sparked a mission: to create a tablet-based assistance system that would help people with dementia reconnect with memories, stay mentally active, and maintain social connections. Today, we serve over 250,000 seniors, caregivers, and family members across Germany, making us one of the country's leading care technology startups.
Our team operates with the heart of a social enterprise and the focus of a tech company. We've built a comprehensive platform featuring films, songs, games, and cognitive exercises specifically designed for people with dementia and other cognitive impairments. What drives us isn't just building software - it's the real impact we see every day: caregivers who have more time for meaningful interactions, families who stay connected across distances, and seniors who experience genuine moments of engagement. With offices in Berlin and Munich, we combine personal empathy with digital innovation, constantly iterating based on feedback from the care professionals and families who use our products daily.
