Your Data
As part of our expedition, we request our data from various actors in the healthcare system.
Salutonauts
Salutonauts represent the premium and taxpayers who document their experiences during the expedition.
Mediconauts
Mediconauts represent the perspective of healthcare providers. They support the Salutonauts.
DATA2U
SUPPORT for claiming and using your data
The DATA2U App was presented at the Forum 2025.
We are going to test this approach in a pilot phase
to see how far it can reduce the main obstacles we have encountered.
The obstacles were:
- Data request are time-consuming
- Data use is almost impossible
- Uploading data (to the EPR/EPD) is time-consuming
- Metadata capture is error-prone
If you already have the App and use it, you can help to improve it by spending a little time to share your experience.
We also post regular updates here, including the first feedbacks and identified areas for improvements.
Questions about using the App how it works etc. are available on
the
Apps website

News about DATA2U
Why an expedition?
Many people are overwhelmed when it comes to requesting their own health data, storing it securely, and understanding it correctly. Just as astronauts explore space, our Salutonauts and Mediconauts embark on a journey to explore Switzerland’s health data space. The goal is to gather concrete experiences with existing health data accounts, electronic health records, and other private solutions.
Our expedition participants test currently available systems. They assess how well the existing data spaces function for secondary use. The personal experiences of the Salutonauts are crucial in shaping the requirements for the further development of these systems.
What matters to us:
Data Sovereignty
Today, the majority of health data is stored only in the information systems of the respective healthcare provider. Patients often have difficulty obtaining the health data generated during their treatment. Our demand: All health data must remain under the sole control of the individuals to whom the collected data pertains.
Practical Testing
We test existing health data accounts and other systems for their functionality, usability, and security in everyday use. Together with our partners, we develop solutions that turn historical data in analog (paper) or digital (PDF) form into structured data, creating value through analysis and visualization.
Using Experiences for Improvement
From the feedback of our Salutonauts, we formulate concrete functional, organizational, economic, and regulatory requirements for the providers of health data accounts and electronic health records.
Shaping the Future
The developed requirements will be made public and accessible to providers to improve existing solutions, positively influence future developments, accelerate progress, and ensure a sustainable, citizen-centered approach to data management.
Hunting & Gathering Data
Salutonauts collect their own health data. Now you can become a Salutonaut:In without registering. Simply use the app and collect the data from service providers and insurance companies.
Please give us feedback (
by email).
Health-Check & Collaboration
You can still book a health check with our Mediconaut:Innen. Please contact them directly (see searching Mediconauten suchen). The cost of the check is still CHF 350.
Which data do we request?
As a result of Phase I, we have launched the DATA2U app in pilot operation.
With it, you can efficiently and easily request both the data of your service providers and the reimbursement documents from the health insurance companies.
You can still have the health check done. For 350.- Fr. you can arrange this with one of our Mediconauts
Examination & Support
Mediconauts are essential for the successful execution of the expedition into the Health Data Space Switzerland. They conduct clinical examinations and support the Salutonauts.
Examinations & Digital Tools
They use digital tools for documentation and ensure the excellent quality of the collected data.
Improvement & Evaluations
Mediconauts are crucial for the continuous improvement and evaluation of Switzerland’s digital health infrastructure.
