Holistic health: Everything from a single source
Founded in 2022 (formerly Heynanny), the company from Bavaria has developed from a specialized care provider to a comprehensive healthcare provider within a short period of time. Today, heycare offers a digital platform that functions as a holistic Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and family services.
The heycare app solves a central problem in the modern working world: the reconciliation of work and private life. By providing care solutions for children, people in need of care and even pets, employees are noticeably relieved, which demonstrably reduces downtime in companies.
heycare also focuses on prevention in the area of mental health. Psychological resilience is strengthened through trainings, webinars and anonymous 1:1 consultations with psychologists. Since the beginning of 2026, the platform has also been integrating Urban Sports Club's sports and wellness network to offer corporate customers a seamless health ecosystem.
