In this webinar we will have an opportunity to learn about the status of Market Access for Digital Health in Switzerland. Similar to other countries, there are theoretical ways to establish reimbursement through existing medical device market access pathways or through individual contracts with insurance companies. Unfortunately, there is no dedicated pathway to establish reimbursement for digital solutions.

This webinar will give an invaluable understanding of the current situation for digital health in Switzerland and what can be expected in the near future.
