(PRESS RELEASE) ZURICH, Switzerland, 27-Oct-2026 - /EuropaWire/ - Deutsche Telekom is investing in Swedish health technology company Tandem Health through its strategic investment arm, T.Capital, as part of Tandem Health's Series B financing round. The investment supports Deutsche Telekom's strategic focus on artificial intelligence and strengthens the position of the company and T-Systems in digital healthcare solutions. Tandem Health has developed an AI-powered medical assistant that brings clinical documentation, coding and decision support together on one platform. The system is already used in more than 10,000 healthcare facilities in 14 European countries, including Germany, and is integrated with around 130 electronic health record systems. It is certified as a Class IIa medical device under the EU Medical Device Regulation. "We want to give Europe's healthcare professionals back one billion hours, so physicians and nursing staff can spend less time on paperwork and more time with their patients," said Lukas Saari, co-founder and CEO of Tandem Health. Artificial intelligence as a tool for healthcare professionals. The investment reflects the role Deutsche Telekom sees for artificial intelligence in the future of healthcare. Across Europe, hospitals and other care providers are contending with staffing shortages, increasingly demanding documentation requirements and economic pressures. Automating administrative work and making clinical processes more efficient can help professionals direct more of their time towards patient care. "Artificial intelligence will play a key role in addressing the challenges facing healthcare. Through Tandem Health, we are investing in a fast-growing European company that noticeably reduces the administrative burden on healthcare professionals while meeting high standards for quality, safety, and compliance," said Karine Peters, Managing Director at T.Capital. "We believe the Tandem Health team can develop technologies that make a real difference for healthcare professionals across Europe and improve the quality and efficiency of care. Supporting this ambition makes the investment particularly attractive from a strategic perspective for T.Capital." Data protection and patient safety remain priorities. Deutsche Telekom also emphasises the importance of European, secure and sovereign AI technology in healthcare. As digital solutions are incorporated into everyday clinical work, the companies see privacy, patient safety and compliance as integral to adoption. "Healthcare needs trustworthy, secure AI solutions that are ready for immediate deployment. Tandem Health shows how modern technology can improve clinical workflows without compromising data privacy and patient safety," said Gottfried Ludewig, Senior Vice President Health Industry and Head of Public Sector at T-Systems. "Together, we want to accelerate the adoption of innovations in healthcare delivery and continue advancing the digital transformation of healthcare." The investment is intended to build on the role of T-Systems in healthcare technology, including its work with hospitals in Germany, while supporting Tandem Health's growth across European care systems. From medical assistant to AI-native operating system. Tandem Health is working towards an AI-native operating system for healthcare providers in Europe. Alongside its existing documentation, coding and clinical decision-support applications, the company is developing additional intelligent tools for patient navigation, appointment management and other administrative processes. "Europe should set the standards for how AI is used in healthcare. That requires European partners that understand care systems and their specific characteristics. With T-Systems, which already works with hospitals throughout Germany, Telekom is exactly that partner. Together, we can safely support even more healthcare professionals as they enter the AI era," Saari explains. Deutsche Telekom describes the investment as part of its wider strategy to encourage innovation in AI, digital platforms and sovereign cloud infrastructure and to pursue opportunities in highly regulated industries.

About Deutsche Telekom. EDITOR'S PICK:

In search of sovereignty, Swedish start-up Tandem Health will offer its AI medical assistant on Scaleway's 100% European cloud infrastructure. The Swedish start-up Tandem Health wants to free itself from American cloud infrastructures to deploy its AI medical assistant. To do so, it is relying on Scaleway, with the ambition of reconciling care automation, the performance of open-source models, and European control of the entire technical chain. Published on October 19, 2026, at 4:16 p.m. One is Swedish and behind an AI-powered medical assistant; the other is French and a cloud services provider. Together, they intend to combine forces to run the former's solution on the latter's infrastructure. But why does Tandem Health prefer to turn to Scaleway rather than another cloud player? The answer lies in "sovereignty." If this word has become the raison d'être of some start-ups without anyone being quite sure what it really means, it goes without saying that it has a far more important dimension, particularly when it comes to processing sensitive data such as that relating to users' health. Tandem Health, which seeks to automate part of caregivers' administrative and clinical work and aims to become a software platform for healthcare institutions, sees in its partnership with Scaleway the possibility of meeting this challenge while developing its business. Indeed, Scaleway, already present in Sweden through its collaboration with telecommunications operator Tele2 (since late May 2026), has just announced the upcoming launch of a Swedish supercomputer equipped with AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and AMD ROCm software. More than a medical assistant, an AI platform capable of managing several processes in a clinic. To understand what Tandem Health is trying to do, we need to go back to basics, namely its beginnings in 2023. Based in Stockholm, it was then developing AI-based medical assistants. Its tools automate the drafting of consultation reports and certain administrative tasks, while offering clinical decision support. Since then, the company has grown substantially: it claims 10,000 healthcare organizations using its services across 14 European markets and more than 130 integrations with medical software. Its business model is based on subscriptions for professionals and healthcare institutions. After a $100 million funding round in September 2026, bringing its cumulative funding to around $160 million, Tandem now aims to become an AI platform covering all clinical activities. It develops specialized applications rather than its own foundation models and relies in particular on existing models. The shift to hosting in Europe by European players. Although the solutions deployed by the start-up already meet data security and confidentiality requirements, with "hosting in data centers located in Europe," it hopes to go further by joining forces with Scaleway and offering a new version called Sovereign Health that will allow it to rely on infrastructure entirely owned by European players. With this version, both the storage and processing of patient data take place on infrastructure owned by European players, so that no patient data leaves European servers. Indeed, Tandem Health's AI medical scribe, coding assistant, and clinical decision support tool are certified as class IIa medical devices under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Scaleway is stepping up its efforts on the issue. Scaleway already provides sovereign cloud and AI infrastructures intended for sensitive workloads and critical data. In April 2026, the company was selected to become the future host of the French Health Data Hub. It has also been designated as one of four providers authorized to offer sovereign cloud services to EU institutions under the European Commission's Cloud III scheme. Two key contracts that demonstrate its ability to meet high requirements in terms of security, performance, and technological autonomy. Célia Séramour, head of the artificial intelligence section

Medical AI assistant for patient calls - integration between Aurora teleQ and Tandem Health. More time for patients, less time on administration. That is a goal that Aurora Innovation and Tandem Health share. Tandem Health's medical AI assistant is now integrated into Aurora teleQ, making it possible for all healthcare providers to use AI transcription for clinical documentation during patient calls. One of healthcare's biggest time thieves is documentation. The work is important and must be carried out carefully - but it takes time and focus away from the patient encounter. Tandem Health has developed a medical AI assistant that reduces the time spent on clinical documentation. With the integration into Aurora teleQ, this solution can now also be used during phone and video consultations. How it works for the healthcare provider. The integration between Aurora teleQ and Tandem Health is seamless. When a healthcare provider receives a patient call in Aurora teleQ, the patient is given the opportunity to accept or decline transcription - with a simple button press by the provider in Aurora teleQ. Once consent is given, Tandem Health's AI assistant is activated automatically. The audio is streamed directly to Tandem Health without being stored on any servers. When the call ends, a structured clinical note is ready in the Electronic Medical Record, where the provider can quickly review, edit and sign it. Patient-safe and efficient. The solution is developed with patient safety at its core. All data transfer is encrypted. Tandem Health is also certified according to the EU's MDR regulation for medical devices. Since no audio is stored, clinics that are not permitted to record calls can use the solution as well. "Being able to focus on the phone call with the patient without having to write at the same time is a great help in our administrative work. On top of that, the AI solution summarises the call with 97% accuracy, which means you can quickly scan through priorities afterwards", says Anna, who has tested the solution at Aleris Endoscopy and Gastro. Since notes are created automatically, the risk of human error is reduced. The healthcare provider can review and edit the clinical notes afterwards - a workflow that improves both the efficiency and the quality of documentation. A smooth workflow. Aurora Innovation and Tandem Health operate in different parts of the healthcare ecosystem, but complement each other well. The new integration supports the healthcare provider throughout the entire process, from initial contact and consultation to notes and documentation. The goal is to give providers the time they need for the patient encounter, and to reduce the pressure on their working day. "The solution means that more healthcare providers experience less cognitive load and system fatigue. As a provider, you can now be 100% present during the patient call", says Kristina Larsson, Product Manager, Aurora Innovation. The integration launches September 24th 2026. About Tandem Health: Tandem is a complete medical AI assistant for healthcare. The solution is designed to fit into healthcare's existing systems and workflows, supporting staff before, during and after the patient encounter while reducing the time spent on administration. The goal is to give healthcare providers more time for their patients. Want to learn more about the new integration in Aurora teleQ and how your clinical documentation can become more efficient?
