GOTHENBURG, 13 June 2026. CW1 today set out its plan to fix a problem most patients know well and few companies touch. European healthcare treats you. It rarely coordinates you. The private route is fast but expensive, and it leans on exams you often don't need. The public route is thorough but slow. In between sits the real gap: no one owns your medical case from start to finish.
CW1 is built to close that gap. The ecosystem (malm) pulls a patient's care into one place, with doctors who follow the case instead of meeting it cold at every visit. Prices are shown before any payment. Records stay with the patient and move between appointments. Data is handled under GDPR and hosted in the EU. Anyone can start with a free account.
"Healthcare is solved in most of Europe however care coordination isn't"
said Pedro Stark, founder of CW1. "The work of chasing referrals and carrying exams between clinics still falls on patients and their families. We're taking that work off them."
The company is starting where the pain is sharpest. In Portugal, the public system saves you but moves slowly, and more than a million people have no assigned family doctor. Private insurance buys speed, not continuity. In Germany, public insurance covers most of the population yet won't fund large parts of preventive and elective care, so patients pay out of pocket and manage the logistics themselves. In Sweden, continuous care is not supported economically by the public system thus creating a void on having someone owning the case. The three markets share the same hole, and CW1 is aiming straight at it.
Clinical credibility sits at the center of the model. Dr. Maximilian Bonk leads CW1 as Clinical Lead, and every case is reviewed by a medical team rather than handed to an algorithm. That line matters to the company. Coordination without a doctor behind it is just software.
On the other hand, Pedro Stark knows the system from the inside. Before CW1, he spent years in management consulting, watching how badly designed economics decide who gets care and who waits. The conclusion was blunt. Human life gets measured by a value, and access to the systems that extend it is not equal. CW1 is the attempt to change that, starting with the layer everyone ignores.
The team is small and deliberate. They are building the product around one promise rather than a long feature list. The promise is continuity. Your case, in one place, finally owned by someone other than you.
The model is also a bet on timing. Across Europe, every market for new treatments opens fragmented and cash-pay, then governments and insurers move in and close it. CW1 is positioning early, in the window before reimbursement catches up and the rules harden. Get the coordination layer right now, and it becomes the thing patients keep using long after the market matures.
What CW1 is selling, in the end, isn't another app to download. It's an answer to a question European patients have been asking quietly for years. When care gets complicated, who is actually holding it together? For most people today, the honest answer is no one. CW1 wants to be the one that does.
