VP Finance (f/x/m)
Magdeburg, Berlin
Full or part-time
Permanent employee
Our mission
Every 3 seconds, somewhere in the world, a person develops dementia. Today, more than 55 million people worldwide are living with dementia, and due to the aging population, this number is expected to rise to 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050. The World Health Organization therefore classifies dementia as a public health priority. Even though dementia is still incurable, there have been significant developments in this field recently: disease-modifying drugs for the early stages of Alzheimer's disease have now been approved for the first time. We have made it our mission to enable early medical assessment and continuous monitoring of memory problems associated with Alzheimer's disease. That is why we have developed digital cognitive tests that are embedded in smartphone apps and can be used in research or healthcare.
