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.
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, including information on vaccinations, medications, lab results, and other relevant health information. They document their experiences in a logbook.
Feedback & Input
They provide feedback on the usability, security, and interoperability of the tested tools, participate in discussions, and actively help shape the health data space.
Health-Check & Collaboration
They collaborate with Mediconauts and receive a health check with 7,000 data points.
Which data do we request?
The requested data should be useful. For this, it needs to be structured, complete, and of high quality.
Data and results from our health check
Claims data from the health insurance
Vaccination data
Lab data
Medication list
Mobile health data
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.
