Germany’s healthcare system adopts Matrix.

With the TI-Messenger, gematik is creating a nationwide decentralised private communication network - based on Matrix - to support potentially more than 150,000 healthcare organisations within Germany’s national healthcare system.

Digital sovereignty and encryption.

Every participating organisation is able to self-host, ensuring it has complete ownership and control of its data.


Default end-to-end encryption ensures communication stays private between validated participants, protecting sensitive data as it travels through joined up government and frontline services.

Interoperability

Element is based on the Matrix open standard, so it’s  interoperable with any other Matrix-based messenger. Organizations and individuals are free to choose whichever Matrix-based app works best for them.

Open source

Element and Matrix are committed to open source. Nationwide deployments can build on licence-free software, with the freedom to extend, customise and contribute.
