🌟💻 As a leading provider of telemedicine solutions, we welcome the discussion on managing patient flows in the healthcare sector! 🚀💊 We firmly believe that digital offerings present an innovative alternative to effectively steer patients while simultaneously relieving the entire medical team. While Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach advocates for visits to the primary care physician, we'd like to introduce another approach: pre-screening through telemedicine. 💡💻 Imagine patients being able to digitally record their symptoms and have them assessed by qualified doctors without leaving their homes. Through intelligent triage, urgent cases can be identified and referred to the appropriate specialists. Sounds too good to be true? It’s what we and other healthtechs are doing from the start – and it works. Digital pre-sorting does not only relieve specialists but optimize the entire healthcare system. 💪🔍 We firmly believe that telemedicine can play a key role in efficiently managing patient flows by improving access to high-quality medical care and reducing waiting times. It's time to transcend traditional boundaries and fully leverage the possibilities of telemedicine. 💻💊 Together, we can shape a forward-looking healthcare system based on innovation and efficiency. 💡🌐 #Telemedicine #PatientManagement #Innovation #Healthcare #Futureofhealth https://lnkd.in/ghegh2jY

💡 What are our key takeaways from our insightful time at DMEA - Connecting Digital Health last week? - 🔥 The widespread awareness and understanding of FHIR among attendees was remarkable. It's clear that FHIR has become common knowledge in the DACH region, with many (although not all) recognizing its significance in German regulations like KHZG and #ISiK. - ✅ The perspectives shared—from government bodies like gematik and KBV to hospitals and vendors—highlighted Germany's awareness of the importance of interoperability driven by modern technology. As this awareness continues to expand, we can see a wealth of new use cases and innovations emerging. - ⏩ The industry is still in the process of defining clear use cases and business models. However, over the next 2 years, we envision a similar shift to what we have seen in the US, where the conversation evolves from "How can I use FHIR?" to "How can FHIR solve my business challenges/opportunities?" Thank you to everyone who visited the The FHIR Business Alliance booth for a chat with our CEO Rien Wertheim and Product Manager Alexander Zautke alongside our fellow #FHIRBall partners CSIRO (Kate Ebrill), Trisotech (Denis Gagné), Health Samurai | Aidbox FHIR® Platform (Pavel Smirnov), and Smile Digital Health (Hernan Burgos). Until next time! 👋 #DMEA2024 #FHIR #Interoperability

Artificial Intelligence (#ai) is transforming the #patientcare journey by enabling targeted #interventions at every stage and touchpoint, ensuring a more #personalized and efficient #healthcare experience. From the initial diagnosis to treatment and follow-up, AI's capabilities in #dataanalysis, #patternrecognition, and #predictiveanalytics allow healthcare providers to tailor their approaches to the unique needs of each patient. AI-driven #diagnostictools can quickly analyze complex medical images or genetic information to identify diseases at their earliest stages, often before patients exhibit any symptoms. AI #algorithms can sift through vast amounts of #medicalliterature and #patientdata to recommend the most effective treatment plans, considering factors like potential side effects and individual health conditions. This precision not only improves patient outcomes but also enhances the overall efficiency of healthcare delivery by prioritizing resources where they are most needed. Benefits of #ai extends beyond #clinicalinterventions, touching upon various aspects of the #patientexperience. Through personalized #healthapps and #wearabledevices, AI provides continuous monitoring and real-time feedback to patients, empowering them to manage their health proactively. These tools can remind patients to take their medication, suggest lifestyle adjustments, and even alert healthcare providers to potential health issues before they become serious. In post-treatment care, AI can analyze patient feedback and health data to predict the risk of readmission, enabling timely interventions to prevent complications. By seamlessly integrating into every touchpoint of the care journey, AI not only optimizes healthcare processes but also fosters a deeper connection between patients and their care providers, making healthcare more #responsive, #accessible, and centered around the needs of the patient. At, AI Nexus Healthcare, we offer innovative #aidriven solutions that add value at each #patienttouchpoint across the clinical spectrum, from diagnosis, early intervention to remote monitoring.

Is Gen AI just a hype, or is it a genuine game-changer? Yesterday, Julien Hobeika, Partner at EQT Ventures, had the honor of moderating a discussion on the topic of GenAI in healthcare, at HLTH Europe in Amsterdam. The debate highlighted its undeniable transformative potential, especially in drug discovery, administrative efficiency, and clinical workflows. The panelists provided concrete examples of how GenAI is impacting researchers, pharma companies, patients, and healthcare providers, underscoring its role in creating a more efficient and effective healthcare ecosystem. But this all does come with a notice of caution. Prioritizing responsible implementation and use, as well as high-quality data and thoughtful regulation, are all crucial aspects of GenAIs success in the field moving forward. A big thank you to HLTH Europe for having us, and for facilitating this conversation, and to the participants: Claire Bloomfield, Senior Director of International Corporate Development & Strategy at insitro, David Rhew, M.D. Global Chief Medical Officer & VP Healthcare at Microsoft, Jim Swanson, Executive VP & Chief Information Officer at Johnson & Johnson, and Betsabeh Madani-Hermann, Global Head of Research at Philips, We look forward to witnessing the tangible impacts of GenAI in the coming years! 🚀

In the first six months of the current year, Swiss start-ups generated a total of CHF 1,082.4 million in venture capital. This represents a decline of 9.5% on 2023. The number of financing rounds also decreased, falling by 10.4% to 138. But although the figures are roughly similar to those of last year, analysis of investment by sector and maturity level of the start-ups shows clear differences and a contradictory picture emerges. Although young start-ups from some sectors or fields such as AI and energy generation and storage are able to attract investors, late stage investment is in short supply. This half-year update to Swiss Venture Capital Report, published by the online news portal startupticker.ch and the investor association SECA in cooperation with startup.ch, shows that investors are more confident than a year ago. According to the broad-based survey of about 100 Swiss start-up investors, conducted by SECA, the vast majority expect the number of investment opportunities and the number of investments to increase.

This semi-annual update of the Swiss Venture Capital Report 2024 by Startupticker.ch, SECA - Swiss Private Equity & Corporate Finance Association and http://startup.ch/ promises an optimistic outlook, but this is far from enough. Switzerland needs to invest much more in venture capital if it wants to remain competitive.

Not Losing A Historic Opportunity As a startup, we always strive to see the big picture of where the opportunities and challenges are in digital health innovation. Germany’s framework, especially with DiGAs is a foundational strategy being looked at and built upon in many jurisdictions. However, we can also learn from others and their assessments about DiGAs. The recent 6th PRAEVENIRE Digital Health Symposium in Vienna, Austria, brought together experts from healthcare, politics, and business to discuss digital health trends and their potential to improve patient care. Although the discussion focused on initiatives and challenges related to digital transformation in Austria's healthcare system, we can see that in Austria, #DiGAs are considered an important pillar. Here are some highlights and key takeaways from the symposium: ➡ Patient-Centric Approach to Digitalization: Speakers emphasized the need for a patient-centric approach throughout the digital transformation process. Speakers stressed the need for a human-centered design approach that prioritizes user needs and evaluates the actual benefits of digital tools in real-world settings. ➡ Expanding Primary Care and Telemedicine: Leaders emphasized the need to strengthen primary care as a key step in improving healthcare efficiency and patient access. Naghme Kamaleyan-Schmied, Vice President of the Vienna Medical Association, stressed the importance of establishing primary care units (PVUs) and expanding telemedicine solutions to meet patients' needs and enhance healthcare accessibility. ➡ Overcoming Data Silos: Silvio Frey from Detecon Switzerland discussed the challenges of transforming data into usable insights. He noted that organizational structures, rather than technology, often present the biggest hurdles to data integration and utilization. ➡ Digital Health Applications (DiGAs): Learning from Germany: Christian Bredl from the Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) in Bavaria shared insights from Germany's experience with DiGAs, digital health applications covered by statutory health insurance. Bredl acknowledged the progress made in Germany while suggesting areas for improvement. He recommended establishing mechanisms for price regulation, refining the DiGA trial phase, addressing evidence gaps, and conducting post-market entry studies. ➡ The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI): Jörg Debatin, a healthcare entrepreneur, emphasized the transformative potential of AI in healthcare. He urged stakeholders to embrace AI solutions, arguing that excessive regulatory precautions could hinder innovation and cede market share to countries with less stringent regulations. Looking at the discussion in Vienna, it becomes clear that Germany is playing a leading role in digital health innovation. Now we must ensure we continue to deeply engage and find solutions to challenges so we do not lose this historic opportunity. https://lnkd.in/dn5REN_K #germany #DiGA #perfood

On today’s agenda: How are we going to tackle the growing gap in healthcare delivery? Benedikt von Thüngen, CEO of Sanome, believes the solution lies in harnessing the power of data to inform clinical decision-making and enhance patient outcomes. By leveraging this data, clinical teams can identify deteriorating patients earlier, enabling timely interventions to prevent conditions from worsening. This earliest possible detection of adverse health events is key to reducing the burden on healthcare teams. Taking a more proactive approach not only improves patient care but also ensures a more efficient and sustainable healthcare system.
