Digital health encompasses the digital and genetic revolution sweeping the healthcare sector and individual health. This interdisciplinary field, which primarily includes healthcare, IT and communication technology, includes medical care, health technologies, and medicine as well. The right hardware, software and networks are essential. The goal is to use new technological possibilities to create a comprehensive health management system.
Like physicians and hospitals, “Digital health” and “Smart health” systems are also responsible for transmitting health data of private individuals. This data can then be used for healthcare-related purposes, or to improve athletic performance. SYMBIONT offers many ways to do so, with an EMS device combining an EMS suit and app.
For over 45 years, at schwa-medico we have served as a professional, high-performing and service-oriented partner for human medicine.
We stand for innovations such as:
Our scientists and engineers contribute their extensive experience, their expertise and their passion to the development of products that become pioneering innovations. The SYMBIONT is one such innovation – the epitome of intensive research and “Made in Germany” quality.
Thanks to its highly customizable and scalable design, as well as countless integration options, the SYMBIONT is the answer to the current and future demands of the health and fitness market. It is the realization of our vision: to develop products for the good of all, to promote personal growth and facilitate limitless flexibility. The SYMBIONT is the full reflection of every facet of our corporate values.
Human medicine for over 45 years
Our company, schwa-medico, is a key player in the innovative medical technology field today. Read on to discover how the story of the Digital Health Concept began, resulting in the creation of multiple revolutionary products and brands, and the development of the first SYMBIONT Smart Body Device.
After our founding in 1975, we initially specialized in the sale of acupuncture needles and accessories. Over the years, we consistently expanded our product portfolio, launching the first TENS device under our own name on the market in the late 1970s, the TNS SM 1.
Expansion of our market position
The next step on our company's successful path was to open regional offices and service centers throughout Germany, as well as branches elsewhere in Europe and in Asia in the late 1980s. This allowed us to create an extensive coverage area for the supply and treatment of pain patients with electrotherapy devices.
In the decades that followed, we continued to actively expand our market position, playing a key role in shaping the profile of pain therapy. During that time, we supported countless patients on their journey to a healthy, pain-free life. Our company's focus remained on gentle therapies.
