atlas BKK ahlmann cooperates with Tensana

Free blood pressure app for insured members

Good news for people with high blood pressure: Since 1 June 2019, members of atlas BKK ahlmann can use the Tensana app in the Premium version - the health insurer covers the fees for them! The Tensana app helps patients document and analyze their own data more thoroughly - a real benefit in treatment.

High blood pressure is one of the most common medical conditions in Germany. If people suffer from it long-term, it can have serious health consequences-such as heart attack, stroke or sudden cardiac death. That's why it's important to treat it as early as possible and tailor treatment to the individual. The Bremen-based company health insurer atlas BKK ahlmann is therefore expanding its services for members: From June 2019, the premium version of the digital blood pressure record "Tensana" is available to them. "We are pleased to improve the care of our members with high blood pressure with the Blutdruckdaten app. This innovative way of recording offers many advantages and has already proven effective for over 500,000 users," says Jan Scharenberg, Head of Marketing at atlas BKK ahlmann. The cooperation between the company health insurer and Tensana is intended to be permanent. Members who want to use the app can have it activated with a personal code. With the app, they can then conveniently and easily record their blood pressure-via computer, phone or tablet. In addition, the app offers extensive, professionally reviewed content on the topic. With Tensana, users can provide their treating physician not only with individual readings, but also with meaningful charts and statistics-a new level of blood pressure self-monitoring! Their personal data remain protected. Third parties, including the health insurer, do not have access to them.

Horst Klier initially developed the portal tensana.app in 2009 for his own use as a patient with high blood pressure. The smartphone apps followed in 2011. Use of the service was and remains free, but was supported by voluntary donations from an early stage. This then led Tensana to develop a subscription model with premium features.
