Rethinking health.

Restoring culture.

Reshaping systems.

Health culture is more than medicine – it emerges in the spaces where we live, travel and work, and in the decisions that shape our everyday lives.

At Officinae Mentis, we understand health as a holistic good – experienced in the many facets of life, guided by quality, responsibility, and the ambition to create more than the sum of individual disciplines.

Health culture evolves at the intersections: bridges that connect diverse worlds, interfaces where innovation arises. Here, health becomes an attitude — one that empowers individuals, transforms organizations, and strengthens societies for the future.


Our Story


officinae mentis

[ɔfˈfiː.t͡si.aː.nɛ ˈmɛn.tɪs]
(Latin, “workshop of the mind”)


Officinae Mentis began with a simple idea:
to think of health in broader terms — as culture.

Along his path from medical studies through radiology and medical technology to healthcare management, Prof. Dr. Oliver Meißner, MBA, developed the conviction that health is more than the sum of its parts.


The multifunctional operating room (Hybrid OR) exemplifies this idea — where medicine and technology, experience and innovation, craftsmanship and precision come together, always centered around the human being. Surgeons, cardiologists, radiologists, nurses, and technicians work side by side — guided by mindfulness, trust, and responsibility.


Just as the Hybrid OR can serve as a metaphor for a lived health culture, Officinae Mentis aims to create value at the intersections — where medicine, technology, education, and culture converge.
Together with partners from healthcare, research, industry, culture, and society, we develop impulses that transcend disciplinary boundaries.


We create programs, standards, and initiatives that make health tangible — for individuals, organizations, and society alike.


Our Work


EDUCATE

We design courses, seminars, and customized educational programs that combine medical expertise and technology with topics such as prevention, human factors, and planetary health — creating hands-on learning that empowers people, teams, and organizations.

DESIGN

We advise and support hospitals and healthcare organizations in developing, implementing, and refining quality standards. Our goal: to structure processes clearly, enhance safety and efficiency, and build sustainable systems for healthcare.

INSPIRE

We promote health culture by supporting the non-profit Planet Bambi Foundation and by sharing knowledge through thoughtful journalism.
Together, we make our programs accessible to inspire prevention, learning, and collective responsibility.

Holistic Radiation Protection

We conduct certified radiation protection courses for our partner ccm-Campus. These seminars represent the highest quality, individualized support, and lasting learning success.

Beyond that, we offer our own programs for clinical radiation protection — from mobile C-arm systems to advanced angiography and Hybrid OR environments.

We advise institutions on how to sustainably improve radiation protection processes – from analyzing existing procedures to developing customized concepts.

Quality & Management 

Standards form the foundation of safe and efficient medical care.

We advise and guide hospitals and OR teams in developing, implementing, and optimizing standards and processes.
More than formal requirements, we focus on practical tools: clear workflows, reliable interfaces, and transparent accountability.
Sound standardization creates orientation, strengthens teamwork, enhances patient safety, and enables innovation — because quality becomes measurable and reproducible.
At Officinae Mentis, we see standardization as a key to future-proof medical processes — reliable, effective, and aligned with the people who shape them.

Together with the Planet Bambi Foundation we design educational content for health and prevention programs — helping children, adolescents, and communities thrive. Because prevention and health culture start early.
With every course fee, you contribute to this vision:
10% of all proceeds go directly to the foundation’s preventive health initiatives.

Learn, grow, and make a difference!

Our Column for Lived Health

For a long, healthy life
8 October 2025
Liebe Leserinnen, liebe Leser, am 1. Oktober ist Tag der Stiftungen – ein Anlass zum Innehalten und Rückblicken: auf fünf Jahre Planet Bambi Stiftung in Thannhausen. Fünf Jahre voller Ideen, Waldmomente, Kinderlachen – und einer klaren Mission: Gesundheit ganzheitlich und vorsorglich denken und erfahrbar machen.
8 October 2025
Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, Klingeltöne, To-do-Listen, Terminkalender, Nachrichten-Apps, Chatgruppen – unser Alltag ist voll von Signalen, Informationen und Anforderungen. Was wir oft unterschätzen: Auch wenn wir glauben, "alles im Griff" zu haben, arbeitet unser Nervensystem längst im Übermodus.
8 October 2025
Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, in einer Welt, die immer bequemer wird, ist Bewegung zur Mangelware geworden. Wir sitzen im Auto, am Schreibtisch, auf dem Sofa – durchschnittlich mehr als 9 Stunden pro Tag. Und das, obwohl unser Körper für etwas ganz anderes gemacht ist: Bewegung, Wechsel, Reize.
8 October 2025
Gesundheit aus der Hosentasche – ein moderner Wegbegleiter Über 100.000 Gesundheits-Apps tummeln sich weltweit in den Stores. Viele davon sind motivierende Alltagshelfer: Sie animieren zur Achtsamkeit, erinnern an Medikamenteneinnahmen oder helfen beim Erlernen von Atemtechniken. Doch der wahre medizinische Schatz liegt tiefer verborgen – in den Digitalen Gesundheitsanwendungen (DiGA). Diese Apps sind keine Spielerei: Sie sind medizinisch geprüft, evidenzbasiert – und können ärztlich verschrieben werden. Apps auf Rezept: Digitale Therapie in Eigenregie DiGA sind der Turbo-Booster für unser digitales Gesundheitssystem. Sie bieten strukturierte Therapieprogramme bei chronischen Erkrankungen – orts- und zeitunabhängig, niedrigschwellig und oft ohne lange Wartezeit. Das ist besonders in unterversorgten Regionen ein echter Fortschritt. Seit 2020 können gesetzlich Versicherte solche Apps auf Rezept erhalten. Die Kosten? Übernimmt die Krankenkasse. Wissenschaftlich nachgewiesen ist der Nutzen vieler DiGA unter anderem bei: Tinnitus, chronischen Rückenschmerzen, Depressionen, Angststörungen, Schlafproblemen und Diabetes Typ 2. Dabei begleiten sie Patient:innen nicht nur passiv – sie aktivieren! Nutzer:innen werden zu Mitgestaltenden ihrer Gesundheit. Drei DiGA, die den Alltag spürbar erleichtern 1. Kalmeda – Digitale Hilfe bei Tinnitus Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie via App? Klingt ungewöhnlich – wirkt aber. Kalmeda vermittelt Strategien, um die Wahrnehmung des Ohrgeräuschs zu verändern. In klinischen Studien berichteten viele Teilnehmer:innen bereits nach 6 Wochen von einer spürbaren Entlastung. 2. Kaia Rückenschmerz – Der Rücken-Coach fürs Wohnzimmer Bewegung, Entspannung und Wissen – die Kaia-App vereint alles in einem personalisierten Programm. Eine klinische Studie zeigte: Kaia reduzierte Rückenschmerzen und krankheitsbedingte Ausfalltage effektiver als konventionelle Physiotherapie-Infos. 3. HelloBetter – Mentale Gesundheit zum Mitnehmen Psychisch belastet? HelloBetter bietet wissenschaftlich geprüfte Programme gegen Depression, Stress oder Schlafstörungen. Besonders innovativ: Audio-Coachings und Reflexionsübungen fördern Achtsamkeit und Selbstwirksamkeit. Fazit: Mehr Gesundheit. Weniger Hürden. Digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen verbinden das Beste aus zwei Welten: medizinische Wirksamkeit und digitale Flexibilität. Sie holen die Therapie ins Wohnzimmer, in die Bahn, in die Mittagspause – genau dorthin, wo Gesundheit gelebt wird. Nicht jede App heilt, aber viele helfen. Und manchmal beginnt Heilung genau dort: beim ersten Klick auf "Loslegen". ZUM WOHL!
