German eHealth Startup To Cross Borders
InterComponentWare AG, an eHealth software company, has a new strategic investor, the German utility, EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg. The utility acquired a minority stake for an undisclosed amount to provide cash for R&D and to push international marketing. (Note the blog and social-tagging-friendly press release this company sent out, below.)
It joins existing private investors already backing the 8 year old company, including SAP co-founder Dietmar Hopp.
ICW has developed LifeSensor, an online personal health web site that can be used for storage of personal medical records, uploading data from things like glucose monitors (remote device monitoring), as well as keeping track of immunization and fitness goals. It also introduced an eCard for health in Austria and advised the German Ministry of Health on a German electronic health card.
The utility company said it was interested in InterComponentWare’s remote device data monitoring software that could also be applied to EnBW’s network.
Peter Vest, from EnBW joined the supervisory board of ICW, as well as Paul Wahl, the former CEO of SAP America and former President and COO of Siebel Systems.
