About LipoCheck

The birth of LipoCheck

Strong together

Lipedema is unknown, under-diagnosed, under-supplied and under-researched. We want to change that.

Better quality of life with lipedema

Patients go through a long ordeal of misdiagnosis, misunderstanding, ignorance, incomplete treatment recommendations and mental stress before they are diagnosed and receive treatment. We are breaking new ground in patient care and enabling early detection, well-founded information and daily support for lipedema.

Improved diagnosis with the help of artificial intelligence

The diagnosis of lipedema depends on the subjective assessment of the examiner, as there are no clear, measurable indications for the diagnosis. This lack of clarity leads to many misdiagnoses. With our AI technology, we are setting a new standard in the assessment of lipedema: objective, standardized and reproducible.

Needs-based healthcare

In order to alleviate symptoms and prevent them from worsening, it is necessary to use targeted therapies that are individually adapted to the patient's life and health situation. Our aim is to provide needs-based and personalized healthcare as early as possible in order to spare patients a path of suffering.

More research

The data gap in lipedema research is large and hinders progress in researching the causes and treatment of the disease. The lack of comprehensive, high-quality data on lipedema not only impairs understanding, but also the development of effective therapeutic approaches or even cures. We collect anonymized data to gain new and valuable insights for basic and causal research on lipedema.

Patient first

Our goal is to be the digital and daily support for millions of women with lipedema. That's why we have been in close contact with patients since day 1 so that we can adapt our app to their needs at any time.

Scientifically recognized, proven and well-founded

Scary advice and dubious facts about lipedema are circulating on the internet. We attach great importance to providing scientifically content and are even setting up our own research department for this purpose.

Strong together

We want to support all stakeholders in overcoming barriers in the healthcare system and making healthcare sustainable for all. The involvement of service providers, physicians, research and, above all, patients is our top priority, because we believe that we are better together.
