Our vision

You determine who has access to your data!

Whether you share necessary data with your family, doctors, or therapists is entirely up to you. Especially in emergencies, access for close relatives or medical professionals can be very valuable and save lives.

Important health data can continue to live on even after the passing of family members, helping to protect the health of future generations.

Our vision

Accurate diagnosis, personalized therapy

With securely stored and anonymized health data, doctors and therapists can access your medical history more quickly and accurately diagnose your condition, leading to personalized treatment plans.

The exchange of data, regardless of systems, allows medical professionals to better cater to their patients' needs and use their time more effectively for care and consultation. Donated high-quality data can lead to innovative methods for therapies and new treatments, strengthening people's trust in the healthcare system.

Our vision

Better prevention

With your consent, your anonymized health data can also be used for research to develop new insights and more effective treatment methods. We strive to make it possible for you to track who gains new insights from your health data in the future.

Health data can optimize and simplify care through faster and more accurate diagnoses and individual treatment plans. In addition, a patient's treatment can be better monitored. Researchers can gain optimized insights and develop innovative methods and medications through high-quality data.

Health data that is compatible regardless of system or institution increases the efficiency of healthcare. High costs due to duplicate examinations and unnecessary treatments are avoided. This way, the entire society benefits from the data!

Our vision

Your data belongs to you

You can be sure that your data will only be used for its intended purpose and that access to your data is strictly controlled. If you agree to a request for the secondary use of your data, it will be made accessible in anonymized form. However, you can also decline such requests. Your privacy is protected in any case.
