History and Purpose

The Health Data Space Switzerland Association was founded in 2022 to accelerate and shape the digital transformation of the healthcare system in Switzerland from the perspective of citizens, patients, and healthcare professionals.

Permanant access to structured health data offers a number crutual benefits to prime- and tax payers, patients as well as healthcare providers:

Permanent Overview of Health Data:

Patients gain comprehensive insight into their health data, such as diagnoses, medical and treatment reports, and medication lists. This helps them better understand and track their medical history and allows for more active participation in their own healthcare.

Improved Patient Safety and Treatment Quality:

With access to structured and complete health data, doctors can make more accurate diagnoses, personalize treatment plans, and quickly and reliably detect pre-existing conditions, coexisting or masking illnesses, or drug interactions and side effects.

More Efficient Communication:

By consolidating all relevant health data in the health data account, time-consuming information gathering by phone, fax or letter is eliminated. Communication between different healthcare providers becomes more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable.

Personal Responsibility and Self-Management:

Encouraging the Swiss population to take personal responsibility for managing their own data, while simultaneously enhancing their capabilities in doing so.
