Press release: Simply smart: the Compassana patient app is now publicly available
After many months of testing, the free Compassana patient app is now available for use throughout Switzerland. It is available for download for iOS and Android and offers the following features, among others:
• Recording medications, uploading lists automatically and scanning your eMediplan
• Saving and categorising health documents
• Secure messaging to and from health professionals
• Reviewing your course of treatment in your personal timeline
• Finding health contacts and marking favourites
• Booking appointments and health services online
Compassana accompanies and supports people with chronic illnesses as well as healthy people who want to be able to navigate the healthcare system better. How should I take my medication? Where am I on my treatment journey? How can I quickly find the right contact person?
Often, the answers to these questions are not that complicated – at least not with the Compassana app. It makes healthcare easier, patient safety more sustainable – and data protection more comprehensive. This is because all users’ health data on Compassana belongs to them alone and only they decide with whom they would like to share it. The Compassana app is subject to the highest applicable legal requirements and standards with regard to information security and data protection.
‘We’re proud to have set an important milestone for our ecosystem with the app, which promotes collaboration, patient safety and quality of care – while also offering great development potential,’ says Compassana CEO, Peter Mittemeyer. The app will be continuously developed. The next step for Compassana, however, is to support cooperation between medical service providers and insurance companies so that data-based, end-to- end healthcare can be ensured without any information gaps. As Compassana ecosystem partners, GP practices, hospitals, pharmacies, home care, and therapy facilities work together across all levels of care and sectors of the healthcare system to provide optimal care for their patients.That is when the company’s vision becomes reality.
