We are excited to welcome Vibseen, a Stuttgart-based digital health startup, to the Medical Valley community. Vibseen is transforming access to reliable healthcare information with the world’s first AI-powered, video-based search engine for verified medical content.
In an exclusive interview, Founder Firat Işık gives an overview of Vibseen’s mission, the unique approach of their platform, and the opportunities they see in joining the Medical Valley network.
Why was Vibseen founded, and what global healthcare challenge does it address?
Today, Google and social media have become the first stop for every health-related query. Every day, 7% of all Google searches—over 245 million queries—are health-related. Yet, much of this information is unreliable. In 2024, 49.6% of all internet content was generated by AI and bots, with 72.5% originating from bad bots. On general search engines and social media, unverified claims—ranging from dangerous “miracle cures” to fraudulent weight-loss schemes—are displayed alongside credible medical advice. The ease with which internet users can access false or misleading health information may lead them towards inappropriate treatment options or even procedures that put their lives at risk.
Vibseen was founded to address one of the most urgent challenges in global healthcare: the uncontrolled spread of health misinformation on the internet.
We are committed to making trusted health information and quality care accessible to everyone — regardless of location, language, race, or socio-economic status. By bridging the gap between information, diagnosis, and care, Vibseen fosters a safer and more transparent digital health ecosystem that enhances health literacy, reduces misinformation, and improves patient outcomes.
Our guiding principle is simple ‘Trusted Health Access for All. No Barriers. No Borders.’
What is Vibseen, and what makes it different from other health platforms?
Vibseen is an AI-powered, video-based search engine designed exclusively for healthcare. We offer internet users a secure, reliable environment to search the health information they need. We are leveraging video-based search—the most engaging and up-to-date method available. All video content is created exclusively by healthcare professionals, whose identities are verified by Ministries of Health and they share their videos on their own channels on Vibseen.
While telemedicine platforms focus on getting you into a consultation, and general search engines overwhelm you with conflicting or unverified advice, Vibseen prioritizes connecting users with authoritative medical video content. This enables individuals to explore specialists’ expertise and gain valuable insights before booking a consultation, fostering trust and empowering informed healthcare decisions.
How does your AI-powered video search help users find reliable health info faster?
By leveraging advanced AI, Vibseen analyzes and classifies medical video content by specialty and sub-specialty, applying smart tags that allow users to instantly locate the exact information they need. Users can jump directly to the most relevant seconds of a video—saving time and gaining clarity without unnecessary distractions.
In the near future, Vibseen will introduce its Symptom Assistant module. This module will allow users to enter their symptoms, prompting AI-driven, targeted questions. Based on the responses, the system will seamlessly guide them to the most relevant specialists and the most accurate video content, – further improving speed, precision, and reliability.
How do you ensure that Vibseen truly reaches and supports people across different languages, backgrounds, and levels of health literacy?
At Vibseen, accessibility isn’t an add-on — it’s our starting point. With our user-friendly interface and multilingual search engine, both the platform and its AI-powered functions operate seamlessly in multiple languages. Medical explanations are adapted to different literacy levels without losing scientific accuracy, ensuring they remain both clear and trustworthy. To achieve this, we actively support healthcare professionals in producing their video content and provide them with tailored educational materials to enhance the clarity and impact of their communication.
If you have a smartphone, you can access credible health information—completely free of charge—no matter where you are. And if a user with limited financial resources requires an online consultation or medical treatment, Vibseen will step in. We are committed to allocating a significant portion of our revenue to ensure that these individuals can access first-class healthcare services, regardless of their economic situation.
Through our growing network of verified healthcare professionals, we aim not only to connect users to accurate medical information but also to help them reach the right care when they need it most. This combination of technology, inclusivity, and social responsibility is what sets Vibseen apart.
How do healthcare professionals benefit from being part of Vibseen?
Vibseen provides healthcare professionals with a secure, dedicated platform to share medical content within their area of expertise. The platform ensures their content reaches the right patients—those actively seeking information in their field. This targeted visibility creates meaningful patient engagement at a fraction of traditional marketing costs, helping professionals build trust and expand their reach effectively.
Additionally, Vibseen enables global patient outreach through integrated teleconsultation services, allowing professionals to connect with patients worldwide while maintaining the highest standards of credibility and care.
What do you hope to gain from joining the Medical Valley network? Are there specific partners, collaborations, or types of expertise you’re looking to connect with?

With the support and collaborative environment of Medical Valley’s ecosystem — and by engaging with strategic partners who share our mission — we can achieve this faster, turning trusted health information into a global standard rather than a privilege.
