I am a physician (specialty surgeon) in the US, so can comment from that perspective.

Clinical documentation is often the bane of my existence, so there is definitely a need for innovation. But entering this market (in the US, anyway) may be challenging. I do not know anything about the German market, but in the US, there are a few things to note. First, this market is already pretty saturated. There are some big players (like Epic) that dominate the hospitals, as well as many smaller companies that cater to specialized markets, such as solo practitioners or mental health providers. If your clinical documentation system is not outrageously better than these (and even if it is), it may be hard to break into this market.

Another challenge in the US is around regulations and CMS requirements. Clinical documentation is the way providers ensure that they can get paid. CMS has a lot of requirements in what needs to be in your software. I don't know this area as well, so can't comment too much. But if you want to come to the US, you will need to know it really well.

As a physician, I find it hard to believe that you could cut the cost of clinical procedures by 20% with just documentation software. How are you calculating that? I'm also skeptical about such large profit margins.
