Health Apps (DiGAs) and Care Apps (DiPAs) on prescription bring enormous opportunities for patients and our entire healthcare system.
With DiGAs and DiPAs established medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies can get closer to patients and providers, implement digital, data-driven business models, create a strong competitive advantage and create new revenue streams.
Zühlke is your strategic partner for the development of DiGAs and DiPAs - from the initial idea to approval and operation. Either by co-development with startups or by creating your own digital solutions from scratch - with us you minimize your risks and optimize time-to-market. Like this, you can expand your existing portfolio quickly and securely by digital, patient-centric solutions and establish holistic therapy solutions.
DiGAs and DiPAs are considered as one of the biggest breakthroughs in the digitalization of the German healthcare system. But for a lot of companies, some quite important questions remain unanswered:
How can you benefit from this trend as an established Medtech or Pharma company?
What is the best approach when developing new digital offerings?
What (regulatory) obligations and risks need to be considered?
What are the most promising business cases?
How can you ensure a successful collaboration with innovative ‘Tech’ partners?
To answer questions like these, it is helpful to have an experienced partner who approaches digital health innovation holistically.
With Zühlke at your side, you can:
Complement your existing product portfolio quickly and with minimal risk by digital solutions (DiGAs, DiPAs), which are internationally compliant (incl. approval according to MDR and FDA).
Make a strategic decision to realize your own ideas, to enter partnerships or to buy solutions or providers.
Extend software solutions and digital health platforms with self-developed devices - all from a single trusted partner (e.g. drug delivery systems, diagnostic devices, wearables, ...)
We enable you to become successful with digital health solutions quickly and with minimal risk.
