Hamburg, October 2025 – Returning to everyday life after inpatient addiction treatment is a sensitive moment – full of hope, but also uncertainty. On one hand, there's joy about the progress achieved – on the other, uncertainty: What happens now? Can I manage without the daily structure and professional support?

This is where our collaboration with LIFESPRING Private Clinic in Bad Münstereifel comes in. Together, we're exploring how digital technology can bridge the gap between inpatient treatment and independent living.

Why LIFESPRING is the Right Partner

LIFESPRING Private Clinic specializes in treating substance-related addictions and is distinguished by an integrative treatment approach based on the latest research findings. LIFESPRING combines proven therapeutic methods with a high degree of excellence and willingness to innovate.

"What particularly excites us about working with LIFESPRING is our shared vision," explains Dr. Julian Kruse, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of coobi. "Both sides believe that technology is not a replacement for human care, but a tool to amplify and extend it."

"We see enormous potential in this technology," explains Andreas Gholmié, Head Physician at LIFESPRING. "Our psychologists and social service staff are delighted to provide patients with a tool that enables them to recognize their own patterns, sustainably integrate what they learned in therapy into their everyday lives, and maintain their motivation."

Digital support through the coobi app doesn't begin only after discharge, but already during the inpatient stay. At LIFESPRING, patients get to know coobi care in a protected environment, can ask questions, and try out the system at their own pace. After discharge, several progressive offerings are available:

• Digital Biomarkers for Individual Insights
  Through connection with a smartwatch, coobi care continuously captures relevant parameters such as sleep quality, stress levels, and activity patterns. This data helps identify personal triggers and warning signs early on.

• Personalized Interventions
  Based on the measured data, the app suggests targeted exercises and strategies. This enables patients to sustainably integrate what they learned during qualified withdrawal treatment at LIFESPRING into their everyday lives.

• Outpatient Follow-up Treatment
  Up to 14 psychotherapeutic sessions can be conducted online. The LIFESPRING treatment team remains connected via the platform and can offer support when needed.

• Peer Support in Real Time

  The chat function enables exchange with one's own therapy group. "What's great about coobi is, among other things, the ability to stay in contact with the therapy group. This sense of connection provides security," reports Dominique Polenda, Social Worker and coobi care contact person at LIFESPRING.

Scientifically Grounded, Collaboratively Advanced

Our ambition goes beyond pure technology development. Together with LIFESPRING, we're working to gain scientifically sound insights into the use of digital biomarkers in addiction therapy. Our founder, Dr. Julian Kruse, regularly shares insights into current research findings and innovative approaches on the clinic's science blog (science.lifespring.de).

"The pilot phase gives us the opportunity to learn in a protected setting and continuously improve our solution," says Kruse. "The feedback from patients and the LIFESPRING team is invaluable."
