The dialogue-based platform combines therapeutic quality with access through statutory health insurance, opening up a structurally underserved market: over 1 billion people worldwide without access to psychological support. With its prevention course &#8220;Digitale Stressbew\u00e4ltigung mit Aury&#8221;, Aury has already launched its first product. The course is ZPP-certified and therefore reimbursable through statutory health insurers. It demonstrates the market readiness of the platform technology. In parallel, Aury is advancing toward becoming the first medical-device (MDR) certified AI therapist in Europe.     <\/span><\/h5>\n<p data-rm-block-id=\"block-11\">\n<p data-rm-block-id=\"block-12\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1108353036\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1061984949\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1049519285\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:100%;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Founding-Team.png\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Aury Founding Team (Copyright: Aury)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Founding-Team.png 772w, https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Founding-Team-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Founding-Team-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1049519285 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2017853882\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3 data-rm-block-id=\"block-17\"><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\" data-text-color=\"primary\">The Team Behind Aury<\/span><\/h3>\n<h5 data-rm-block-id=\"block-18\"><span class=\"font-fira\"><span class=\"!text-24\">The founding team around CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/max-rank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Max Rank<\/a>, Chief Clinical Officer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/saskia-fester\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saskia Fester<\/a> and CTO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/robertwasenmueller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Wasenm\u00fcller <\/a>combines clinical psychology, AI development and healthtech experience, with scientific input from experts in clinical psychology and AI research.
