We were immediately won over by the idea behind iteratec’s student lab. The young developers put their heart and soul into the project, quickly took ownership of our brief and came up with numerous ideas: the result is a completely revamped APPzumARZT, a genuine prevention manager that makes it even easier to stay healthy. All you have to do is download the app yourself.

Greater awareness of health measures
With the APPzumARZT app, the Felix Burda Foundation and the Assmann Foundation for Prevention are raising awareness of preventive healthcare measures. The app manages healthcare for people of all ages, as it includes the preventive services offered by statutory health insurance funds. It also features health assessments to evaluate the risk of certain non-communicable diseases. iteratec has modernised the app’s technology and improved its design and user experience.
Preventative healthcare made easy
Preventative check-ups and vaccinations are crucial for preventing illness. To promote a healthier society, it is essential to take preventative measures in good time and to detect illnesses at an early stage. However, many people are unaware of which services are covered by statutory health insurance schemes. The APPzumARZT app explains preventive healthcare measures in an easy-to-understand way and makes it easy for the whole family to plan for them.
Originally developed in 2011, the app was to be technologically redesigned and, with a user-centred interface, appeal to an even wider audience.

User-centred design
The completely revamped app, which has also been given a new design, offers a wide range of new features: a health test to determine your individual cardiac age, a glossary with detailed information on all preventive healthcare services, an introductory tutorial and more options for personalising profiles. During development, iteratec benefited from considerable freedom, enabling it to develop the best technological solution for the APPzumARZT and to focus entirely on users’ needs.
Its intuitive operation, user-centred design and new features make the APPzumARZT a valued companion and provide access to free medical services – for a healthier society.
Thanks to the new app’s unified code base, operation and further development are significantly simpler and more cost-effective.

The Felix Burda Foundation, based in Munich, was founded in 2001 by Dr Christa Maar and the publisher Prof. Dr Hubert Burda, and is named after their son, who died of bowel cancer in 2001. The foundation’s well-known projects include, amongst others, the nationwide Bowel Cancer Awareness Month in March and the Felix Burda Award, which honours outstanding commitment to bowel cancer screening. Using smart event tools and gadgets, the foundation brings bowel cancer prevention to the public: Europe’s largest walk-through model of the bowel fascinates visitors with its 20-metre length and virtual reality experience. The APPzumARZT app acts as a ‘health butler’, managing all statutory prevention services for the whole family, and more than 150,000 users a year use it to check their personal risk online with the ‘Quick Check – Bowel Cancer’ tool. The Felix Burda Foundation runs websites and social media channels and, through annual, coordinated advertising and PR campaigns, generates strong nationwide awareness in Germany for the prevention of bowel cancer. The Felix Burda Foundation is a member of the German Government’s National Cancer Plan and the Federal Ministry of Research and Education’s National Decade Against Cancer. It is involved in the Board of Trustees of the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ) and on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Cancer Information Service.
Since its establishment in 2003, the Assmann Foundation for Prevention has been dedicated exclusively to the charitable aim of providing science, research and the public health sector with well-founded information on the benefits of prevention, particularly with regard to cardiovascular diseases. ‘Saving lives through research and information’ is the Foundation’s guiding principle.
