Communication with healthcare professionals – direct, secure, straightforward
Compassana makes it possible to communicate with doctors, medical practice teams and pharmacies in a way that conforms to data protection regulations – without the need for any additional messaging apps.

  • Easy to exchange messages and documents with patients
  • Compliant with Swiss data protection laws  
  • Straightforward e-mail communication using your existing inbox
  • Messages are delivered to reception or office reliably  
  • Patients can open messages directly in the app – without the need for cumbersome decryption.

Digital medication list – the basis for any treatment
Compassana enables patients to manage their medication list online. Many patient and hospital information systems generate what are referred to as eMed plans with QR codes, which are then simply scanned, and the list is saved to the Compassana app.

  • Rapid transfer of medication data
  • Best possible preparation for consultations and emergencies
  • Enhanced treatment quality and increased safety
  • List of medications including images and when to take them
  • Free of charge for all users

Medication and prescriptions – receive structured and error-free re-orders
Patients can use Compassana to reorder their medicines and prescriptions in a structured and legible manner at their doctor’s practice or pharmacy. The order is created using the medication list as a basis, and doctors receive a structured, legible e-mail from their patients. The best thing about this is that patients are prompted to confirm that they have a valid prescription. Where this is not the case, they will be instructed on how to go about getting one. And this is also done directly in the Compassana app.  

  • Structured order by e-mail
  • Always legible, no wrongly spelt words or typos  
  • Create orders faster and more securely in your practice and pharmacy
  • All relevant patient information is included in the order
