About us
Our mission
At coreway, we are committed to giving people with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) back control over their illness and improving their quality of life in the long term.
Our approach
Our vision
We dream of a future in which people with IBD are not only prescribed medication, but also coreway - a personalized tool that shows them individually what is good for them and what is not. Our aim is not only to give those affected peace of mind, but also to help them avoid the flood of sometimes contradictory information on the internet. Instead of feeling lost, coreway can provide them with scientifically sound and individually tailored information.
Our aim is for everyone to receive not just a list of medications when they are diagnosed, but also a solution that truly empowers them - and enables them to manage their condition better and more confidently in the long term.
Our history
"When I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, I felt helpless and overwhelmed. The symptoms dominated my everyday life and I didn't know how to deal with them in the long term." - Hanna
Hanna and Selina met during their studies. Together they asked themselves: Why are there hardly any holistic approaches for IBD sufferers that go beyond medication? With their background in health promotion and prevention as well as experience in hospital and rehabilitation, they decided to change this.
They talked to other sufferers, gathered ideas and developed a concept that focuses on prevention, early action and comprehensive understanding. This is how coreway was born - a solution designed to help those affected no longer feel helpless, but to actively shape their health.
The coreway team
The coreway team combines personal experience, professional expertise and a common drive: to enable people with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to live a better life. With diverse professional backgrounds - from health sciences to technology to data analytics - we work hand in hand to develop innovative solutions that truly help those affected. Our team stands for diversity, professionalism and a firm belief that together we can make a lasting difference to IBD care.
