Detailed Review

MEDIFOX DAN covers the part of German healthcare IT that the hospital-focused vendors in this directory do not: ambulatory nursing care (MD Ambulant), inpatient and residential care (MD Stationär), therapy practices (MD Therapie) and youth welfare services (MD Jugendhilfe), plus Care.One for admissions and smartAware for staff training. It sits in the same long-term and home-care category as Nedap Healthcare, already in this directory, but for the German rather than Dutch market and regulatory framework.

The company states more than 20 years developing software specifically for German care providers, with 8,000-plus customers and over 100,000 daily users across its products — a scale that reflects how fragmented and locally regulated German long-term care software still is, and how much of that fragmentation MEDIFOX DAN alone now covers.

MEDIFOX DAN GmbH is registered in Hildesheim, Germany (Handelsregister HRB 202124, Amtsgericht Hildesheim), and states that its cloud products are hosted entirely in Germany. No public price list is available; licensing is quoted per organisation and module. The name reflects a 2019 merger of two previously separate German care-software companies, MEDIFOX and DAN.

What MEDIFOX DAN does well

  • Covers ambulatory, inpatient, therapy and youth care in one group
  • Hosting stated as 100% within Germany
  • Large installed base: 8,000+ customers, 100,000+ daily users
  • Staff training platform (smartAware) included alongside records
  • Two decades focused specifically on German care regulation

Where MEDIFOX DAN falls short

  • Pricing not published
  • German market and regulatory framework only
  • Product family spans several distinctly named modules to navigate
  • Not suited to acute hospital care

Standout feature. One vendor covers ambulatory nursing, residential care and youth welfare, the fragmented middle of German care that hospital EHRs skip.
