When developing medical software, it is crucial that the software is not only functional, but also fulfils the specific needs of both healthcare professionals and patients. Why does user-centred design play such an important role here? How is it integrated and what benefits does it bring? In my blog post, I will give you an insight into how human-centred design makes an important contribution to improving standards in healthcare.

In an increasingly complex and individualised world of healthcare, the demand for personalised solutions in health insurance is growing. The introduction of customised offers not only has the potential to increase customer satisfaction but also to optimise the entire customer journey. In this blog post, I explore how these individualised approaches are changing the interaction between insurance companies and policyholders and what impact they could have on the future of healthcare.

Process management is a crucial tool in the changing world of health insurance companies. In this blog post, I provide an insight into the basics of process management and introduce the data-driven approach of process mining. Find out how process mining is shaping the future of statutory health insurance companies, from structured standardisation to improved collaboration and secure legal compliance.

Many companies develop their products based solely on their own assumptions about the target groups. Ultimately, however, these fail because they offer no real benefits to their users. Focusing on the topic of digital health, I will explain how product discovery can be used to develop safe and successful applications that both offer people real added value and also meet the regulatory requirements in this blog post.

It came as a surprise to many SAP customers in the healthcare sector when SAP announced that it would not be integrating the IS-H solution into S/4HANA, as it presented them with a number of problems. It left them asking: what approach should I take to transform my SAP landscape into a strategic S/4HANA platform? I will answer this question in my blog post where I will also be presenting two transformation approaches – greenfield and selective data transition – in greater detail.

Despite their immense potential, the implementation of digital health devices also provides a few hurdles. To overcome these challenges, implementing digital health devices in hospitals requires a strategic approach. Despite these challenges, Swiss healthcare stakeholders are actively promoting digital health initiatives.

Prevention apps are digital tools that seek to increase user awareness for health and proactively prevent diseases. They can take the form of online interventions, mobile apps or hybrid training formats. In this blog post, I explain what exactly prevention apps are, the regulatory and technical requirements associated with them and whether it makes sense to develop one in the first place.

The digital transformation is changing the healthcare sector. New technologies and advanced data collection systems are revolutionising the way that health services are provided and managed. In this blog post, I will take a look at the key legislative initiatives that will shape how the handling of digital health data will be regulated and optimised in the future.

The German Online Access Act (Onlinezugangsgesetz, OZG), which was adopted in 2017, was intended to provide support for digitalisation and make a number of the administrative services provided by the German federal government and the German states electronically accessible by the end of 2022 – including in the healthcare system. But how does this look in practice? What has already been done and where is there still room for improvement? I will answer these questions in my blog post.
