Health Hub Vienna Accepts Swiss Start-Up Docdok.Health

A cloud-based communication platform from Switzerland will be added to the startup network of the Health Hub Vienna.

Swiss startup docdok.health has been selected to be part of the innovation network of the Health Hub Vienna.

As a result, the Basel startup will be able to network with stakeholders in the Austrian healthcare sector and expand further as part of a possible joint cooperation.

Founded in 2017, docdok.health has already demonstrated the benefits of its doctor-patient platform in Switzerland and Germany in numerous projects, and in 2018 received two awards at the HealthTech Summit and the Young Entrepreneurs Award in northwestern Switzerland.

Supported by Innosuisse, the Swiss Agency for Innovation Promotion, and in cooperation with IBM, the ETH and the Unispital Zurich, the startup has already developed and validated digital therapy solutions for asthma and COPD.

In Germany, docdok.health is currently also implementing a COPD project together with Novartis. Around 4,000 Swiss patients currently use the digital solution as a personalised platform for exchanging information with hospitals and doctors.

The communication platform connects primary systems of healthcare providers with the medical devices and applications of the patients, which gives them 24/7 better access to doctors and their own health data.

Tailored medical information is intended to involve patients more closely and achieve better health outcomes. Doctors benefit from the platform by saving time and increased efficiency in everyday practice. – Healthcare IT News
