Germany's largest public hospital network, serving 750,000 annual patients across Berlin
Vivantes operates as a 20,000-person public health system anchored in Berlin, running one of Europe's larger hospital networks. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward legacy health-IT infrastructure (SAP IS-H, PDMS, HL7, DICOM) paired with enterprise productivity tools, with active hiring pressure in healthcare roles and emerging engineering headcount — signaling a shift toward clinical digitalization. Current projects focus on device integration, workflow standardization, and delirium care protocols, while pain points cluster around diagnostic device integration and clinical-process digitization.
