UNIQA’s “health ecosystem” is growing
A lot is happening at UNIQA’s health holding, founded in 2022: thanks to acquisitions, new offers and partnerships as well as a strengthened market presence, Mavie once again significantly expanded its presence in 2025. As a result, Mavie’s product range has expanded considerably in both Austria and the CEE region, and the Group is now present in ten markets – eight more than a year ago. The number of B2B customers rose simultaneously to more than 1,000. The strong momentum is also reflected in the revenue development: Mavie Next and its subsidiaries achieved a considerable revenue increase of 48.6 per cent last year. Mavie being on the right track is also confirmed by the increase in aided brand awareness in Austria by a further 10 percentage points in 2025 alone.
Health: a Market with major potential
Good health is essential for everyone. However, the existing healthcare services are increasingly reaching their limits: an ageing population, the increase in chronic diseases and growing mental strain are leading to ever greater challenges. In addition, costs are rising, and the shortage of skilled workers is further exacerbating the situation. Prevention is therefore becoming increasingly important. To date, however, only 4.2 per cent of Austrian healthcare expenditure is allocated to preventive medicine. The remaining 95 per cent is spent on restoring health. The OECD average is even lower, at 3.4 per cent. In Austria, only 15 per cent of people regularly attend free health screening checks, even though 50 per cent of cancer deaths could be prevented by regular preventive examinations. At the same time, the healthcare market offers considerable opportunities: there is an annual market potential of about €10 billion in the private healthcare sector in Austria alone.
New concepts are needed here. Health services from employers are becoming increasingly relevant, and individual awareness of prevention also needs to be strengthened. At the same time, efficient, high-quality treatment in the event of illness – both inpatient and outpatient, supported by digital services – must be ensured in the event of illness, as well as high-quality care services for ageing with dignity.
UNIQA’s “health ecosystem”
UNIQA is facing up to precisely this challenge and is positioning itself – primarily through the companies combined in Mavie Holding – as a holistic healthcare provider. As the Austrian market leader in private health insurance, UNIQA can make valuable contributions in this area and has therefore been increasingly active in the prevention and healthcare sector for several years.
Focus on stress prevention
Dealing with stress and mental burdens is a central element of all of Mavie’s activities. To identify developments in this field at an early stage, Mavie commissions a comprehensive stress study every year. The latest survey from 2025 shows that 70 per cent of Austrians often or very often feel stressed, especially due to work. The results underline the importance of preventive measures – from workplace health promotion and digital services to new diagnostic services such as the new stress hormone test from MavieMe, which was introduced in 2025.
The diverse portfolio ranges from private hospitals, medical centres and outpatient clinics, health networks such as LARA, VitalCoaches and VitalHotels, and 24-hour care all the way to company health management and organisational development, telemedicine and innovative home health and screening tests. Continuous growth leads to new offerings and enables us to provide the best possible service to both existing and new customers.
Mavie Holding: holistic healthcare offering
All these offerings are combined under the umbrella of Mavie Holding, which was founded in 2022 to further develop UNIQA’s “health ecosystem” in a targeted manner and to tap into new business segments. It identifies innovation potential and drives the expansion of forward-looking healthcare solutions.
The following areas operate under the umbrella of the holding company:
Mavie Next includes the corporate healthcare prevention services of Mavie Work, a leading provider of preventive and diagnostic health solutions, as well as organisational development services, for businesses. Mavie also holds a 70 per cent stake in cura domo, the Austrian market leader for 24-hour care. In 2023, the portfolio was expanded to include MavieMe, which offers innovative health and preventive tests for home use. In the same year, Mavie also strengthened its position in the European telemedicine market by acquiring the Polish telemedicine provider Telemedi. At the same time, Mavie Next is driving the development of new business models in the healthcare sector.
With its private hospitals, medical centres and outpatient clinics, Mavie Med represents excellent medical care at the highest level. In total, Mavie Med treated around 52,000 inpatients and 135,000 outpatients in 2025.
UNIQA Health Service operates healthcare networks such as LARA and offers services for quick and networked healthcare. Roughly 7,500 network partners provide medical counselling, diagnostics and prevention.
The viability of Mavie’s vision was validated in 2025 with the entry of a strong partner: In May 2025, Raiffeisen-Holding NÖ-Wien became a strategic partner in Mavie Next and will invest around €100 million in the coming years to jointly promote innovative and low-threshold healthcare services.
Mavie Work: market presence massively expanded
In 2025, Mavie Work, the subsidiary of Mavie Next responsible for occupational health management and organisational development, succeeded in significantly expanding its range of activities: the acquisition of Assessment Systems, a premier provider of scientifically based personality diagnostics for talent and management development as well as occupational health promotion services, has made Mavie Work one of the leading providers of holistic occupational health in the CEE region. The company has thus taken an important step towards realising its vision of becoming the provider of holistic workplace health promotion with the highest impact in CEE.

The Mavie Health Mobil, which offers diagnostics on four wheels throughout Austria, is proving very popular. It brings efficient, low-threshold preventive screenings including medical consultations directly to company locations. Care is provided by qualified medical specialists from Mavie Med and partner doctors from all over Austria. This makes the Mavie Health Mobile a valuable component of the Mavie Work prevention programme. According to Statistics Austria, fewer than 15 per cent of Austrians take advantage of free health screening checks every year, with over a quarter citing a lack of time as the main reason. At the beginning of December 2025, the Mavie Health Mobile welcomed its 10,000th patient at Salzburg AG.
However, the signs at Mavie Work continue to point to growth. At the end of 2025, Mavie announced the acquisition of Wellbeing Polska, one of the leading corporate health providers in Poland with around 200 B2B customers. The company focuses on physical health, integrated exercise and prevention programmes and digital coaching to sustainably improve employee health – and has usage rates that exceed the market average. Wellbeing Polska’s expertise will now be integrated into Mavie Work’s range of services to further strengthen the health and performance of employees and companies.
Mavie Telemed: further expansion of the offering
Digital medical advice
Services offered
Platform for online consultations for doctors and patients; online consultations via video, telephone or chat as a convenient, easy access alternative to physical visits to the doctor
Consultations
> 1 million consultations in the core market of Poland in 2025
Mavie Telemed offers a platform for digital healthcare in the form of online doctor consultations. The company entered this business segment in 2023 with the acquisition of the Polish market leader Telemedi, which further increased the number of consultations carried out to more than 1 million in 2025. Telemedicine services have also been available in Austria since 2024. This means that around 500,000 eligible UNIQA private medical customers have access to straightforward digital medical advice – seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The service can be booked directly via the myUNIQA app and offers a convenient, low-threshold addition to physical visits to the doctor. The roll-out of Mavie Telemed in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina also began in 2024.
Shortly before the end of 2025, Mavie Next announced that it was taking a majority stake of 70 per cent in the Czech healthcare provider uLekare.cz, the leading digital healthcare platform in Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. More than 270 corporate customers with over 150,000 employees use uLekare.cz’s digital platform, which seamlessly combines digital and physical healthcare. Together with Mavie Work, the uLekare.cz offering will now be further expanded and rolled out in new markets while maintaining the same quality and continuity for existing customers. This gives companies integrated, low-threshold access to medical care, prevention and psychosocial support for their employees. uLekare.cz addresses this need with an end-to-end platform that includes preventive health content, a medical concierge service and a call centre.
MavieMe: new tests on the market
MavieMe was founded in May 2022 as an innovative option for personalised health diagnostics. MavieMe customers can carry out health and screening tests from the comfort of their own home. After initially offering blood and gut microbiome tests, Mavie launched three more tests on the market in 2025: the allergy test checks 98 allergens and shows users their individual sensitivities, the stress hormone test provides insight into how the body deals with stress, and the glucose guide helps users monitor their tissue sugar level. All tests can be ordered online and conveniently sent in by post for analysis by certified partner laboratories.
Since 2022, MavieMe has already sold a total of around 21,000 test kits, of which around 9,200 were delivered last year alone. Depending on the test type, the results are checked by independent partner doctors and clearly explained, and users can also consult with nutritional counselors. For around a quarter of all customers, Mavie recommends further clarification by a doctor if the parameters detecte d indicate further risks or irregularities.

Mavie Med: extensive investment in medical excellence
Mavie Med, part of the UNIQA family since 2011, consistently invests in the range of services offered by its healthcare companies. Construction work on the joint new building for the Confraternität and Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospitals in the Skodagasse, Vienna, will start in the first half of 2026. The hospital will have 120 beds, six operating theatres, four delivery rooms as well as a doctor’s surgery and day clinic. It is scheduled for completion in 2028.
A modern extension went into operation at Döbling Private Hospital, Austria’s most efficient private hospital, at the beginning of 2025. It includes three state-of-the-art operating theatres with daylight, four new delivery rooms, a central sterilisation unit and 19 additional rooms. Since summer 2025, the Döbling Private Hospital also has a da Vinci Xi, making it the first private hospital in Austria to use the latest generation of operating theatre robots for robot-assisted surgery.
Mavie Med achieved significant regional expansion at the beginning of 2025 with the purchase of Wörgl Private Hospital. The 29-bed facility offers a wide range of medical services, including accident surgery, sports traumatology, orthopaedic surgery, vascular surgery, ophthalmology and a first-aid outpatient clinic.
At the end of 2025, Mavie Med announced the planned takeover of the Meditrina Occupational Health Centre (AMZ) of the former VAMED Group. With locations in Vienna and Kapfenberg, the AMZ supports companies and their workplaces throughout Austria with a comprehensive range of services that includes occupational medicine, occupational psychology, health promotion and reintegration management. The services provided by the AMZ will also further strengthen the joint corporate health offering of Mavie Med and Mavie Work. This creates an even more comprehensive range of health services for corporate customers to support their employees – from legally mandated services all the way to voluntary services.

Mavie Next had already acquired a 39 per cent stake in the leading provider of 24-hour care in Austria in 2021. In view of the very satisfactory development of the company, Mavie increased its holding to 70 per cent in 2024. The increasing demand for home care makes this expansion an important element of Mavie’s growth strategy. In 2025, cura domo once again recorded revenue growth of 12.7 per cent. For the first time, the company was able to invoice more than 400,000 days of care, and a further increase is expected.
