Switzerland’s leading digital health platforms, Compassana and Well, are joining forces to form Compassana-Well AG. A shared digital platform will bring together medical information for patients in a single, easily accessible space. The solution will connect the various stakeholders and provide access to the electronic health record (E GD). Existing services for patients, hospitals, physician networks, pharmacies and health insurers will continue to be provided. The project is backed by eleven partners. These include hospitals, healthcare providers, and leading health insurers, which together provide services to around 70 per cent of people insured in Switzerland.
