About Athegus

Built for healthcare professionals who need reliable automation

The Founders

Athegus Team

Athegus was founded by a team of computer scientists and robotics experts who recognized that healthcare facilities need better tools to manage service robots. The team combines deep technical expertise with practical understanding of healthcare operations.

The Team

Team Origins

The Athegus team originated from the SMART FOREST 5G Clinics research project at Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV), the project ran from 2021 to 2024 with a total volume of 3.85 million euros. Its goal was to test digital technologies and 5G-based robotics in clinical real-world laboratories. As part of the project, use cases such as patient-centered orientation, transport, and telemedicine were implemented. From this work emerged the idea of a central software platform for controlling and integrating service robots – today's product hospOS.
