Turning Germany’s electronic patient record into an opportunity

Germany’s electronic patient record (ePA) creates an unprecedented opportunity to make medical information useful across care and research. Yet much of this information remains locked in unstructured documents.

ePACLARA brings clinical workflow optimisation and the preparation of health data for secondary use together on one platform. Patients complete digital questionnaires and provide relevant medical documents before their appointment. Specialised AI structures this information into a clear clinical dashboard, helping care teams prepare consultations and reduce administrative work. The resulting structured information can also support patient screening, study recruitment and evidence generation, subject to the necessary permissions and validation.

The opportunity for Pharma & MedTech

The ePACLARA Marketplace is designed to connect industry partners with healthcare providers around concrete research needs:

• Identify suitable patients and study sites: Support AI-assisted screening against defined eligibility criteria and assess potential patient cohorts.
• Accelerate recruitment: Embed screening and recruitment support into existing care workflows, reducing manual effort for clinical teams.
• Generate real-world evidence: Enable projects addressing treatment pathways, outcomes and unmet needs, including evidence relevant to market access.
• Scale through established partnerships: Build on a distribution network with a potential reach of approximately 200,000 physicians in Germany, alongside partnerships with patient platforms and hospital solution providers. This represents partner reach, with adoption and project participation developed progressively.
