German healthcare IT infrastructure operator and digital transformation platform
Gematik operates the Telematikinfrastruktur (TI), the backbone of Germany's digital health ecosystem, enabling applications like the electronic patient record (ePA) and e-prescription system. The stack is heavily healthcare-standards–focused (SNOMED CT, LOINC, FHIR) with modern DevOps tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, Jenkins), indicating mature infrastructure-as-code practices. Active projects span control centers, secure messaging (KIM/TI-Messenger), and eHealth compliance frameworks—a portfolio that reflects both operational stewardship and ongoing platform expansion.
