Abstract (ENG):	This research aims to investigate whether Germany and its Silver Agers are ready for technological start-ups in the healthcare sector. Seven structured interviews were conducted with experts of the German healthcare sector, and quantitative research was performed with German Silver Agers. Our primary findings show that the necessary framework conditions for a telemedical start-up in Germany are not guaranteed due to slow progress in terms of digitisation, a lack of information technology standards, and insufficient investment in care structures. Moreover, the traditional attitude of German Silver Agers represents a further hurdle. Although they are generally positive about telemedicine technologies, German Silver Agers prefer to visit a physician in person. Therefore, this study offers a source for largescale and individual projects as well as start-up companies seeking to enter the German health sector market.
