What does Kry do?
Kry is digital primary care with video consultations — a swedish alternative to teladoc. It is listed under healthtech and saas on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European healthtech tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from well-known US incumbents.
Is Kry a good European healthtech alternative?
Kry is a fit for European businesses evaluating healthtech options where data residency and GDPR alignment matter — typical buyers include EU-based SaaS teams, public-sector projects, regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal), and any organisation that needs to demonstrate that customer data does not leave the EU. It also overlaps with saas use cases.
Is Kry GDPR compliant?
Kry is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and falls under EU jurisdiction, so it processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Sweden's data protection authority, the Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY). Because the company is not US-incorporated, it is not subject to the US CLOUD Act — meaning US authorities cannot compel Kry to disclose customer data the way they can with well-known US incumbents. For European buyers, that often simplifies DPIA paperwork and standard contractual clauses.
How do teams switch from well-known US incumbents to Kry?
Most teams move to Kry from well-known US incumbents because they want EU data residency without giving up the core healthtech workflow. Kry's Sweden base means a single jurisdiction for both the company and (typically) its hosting infrastructure, so you can drop Schrems II transfer impact assessments for this part of your stack. Plan the migration in stages: export your data from the US incumbent, pilot Kry with a small team, then move the rest once the integration coverage you need is confirmed.
