When health IT systems speak the same language, we enable safer, more efficient care - but without clear specifications, interoperability becomes fragmented and unreliable. That’s why Germany created ISiK (Informationsaustausch im Gesundheitswesen): a national specification developed by gematik to define how healthcare systems must exchange data using HL7 FHIR. ISiK ensures secure, standardized, and consistent communication across all players in the German healthcare ecosystem. If you’re looking for a healthcare IT solution that’s secure, truly interoperable, and ready for the future, Kodjin FHIR Server is now gematik-certified for ISiK profiles - so you know you’re covered.

#AI in #healthcare used to be a marketing play – something flashy for innovation teams to showcase at conferences and in annual reports. But as Handelsblatt reports, that era is officially over: 22 German health insurers now operate with zero reserves, and long-term care faces a projected €3.5B deficit by 2026. 👉 Now, every new solution is judged by one question: Can it cut costs? That shift may challenge hype-driven startups, but it creates a real window of opportunity for those building solutions with clear, measurable ROI, especially when they reduce friction in operations or deliver savings for high-cost indications. The focus is turning toward scalable, outcome-driven innovation: Solutions that help people live longer, healthier lives without driving up system costs. It’s no longer about who looks the most futuristic. It’s about who delivers real value – today. https://lnkd.in/eHFigFp7 #DigitalHealth #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareInnovation

Our CEO Olaf Heinrich comments "The extension of CardLink is a logical step for a smooth transition to the PoPP infrastructure. We are looking forward to the introduction of this new national standard, which will make prescription redemption even more convenient for patients." Full press release in the comments 👇

❔ Digital health companies, ever heard about "PDURS"? Me not, till a few weeks ago and I got a speed course when meeting American Telemedicine Association last week in Berlin. 🔎 Prescription Drug Use-Related Software (#PDURS) refers to computer programs and applications that help doctors and patients manage the use of prescription medications. This can include things like mobile apps that remind you to take your medicine, software that tracks how well your medication is working, and programs that provide information about potential side effects and interactions with other drugs. 🇺🇸 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has introduced new guidelines for these types of software aiming to protect public health. These guidelines help ensure that the software is accurate, user-friendly, and secure, so that both doctors and patients can trust and benefit from using them. Benefits of the new guidelines: 👉 Enhanced educational resources: 👉 Improved communication with healthcare providers 👉 Enhanced safety and reliability 👉 Personalized medication management 📃 FDA guideline: https://lnkd.in/eXg7XjxD 🇪🇺 How is Europe dealing under #MDR with these drug-device combines products which appear more and more? 🙏 Thanks to Ann Mond Johnson, Andy Molnar and Emilie Lopes-Fernandes for the inspirational conversations. #regulation #pharma #healthcare #medicaldevicesoftware #patientsafety #medicationmanagement

Six digital health treatment developments in female health this year >> This year saw a number of concrete digital health treatment developments in female health. Below are six examples that generated observable clinical, regulatory, trial, or early-market signals: 🌕 Ovy GmbH received Class IIb certification under the EU Medical Device Regulation, formally recognising its cycle-tracking app as a medical device for contraception. The app offers a data-driven, hormone-free option for fertility awareness and birth control 🌕 Lilli Health introduced an app designed to help manage PCOS by targeting insulin resistance, offering personalised tools and metabolic insights for a condition that affects up to one in five women and is frequently underdiagnosed 🌕 Sidekick Health launched MENO!, a CE-marked digital therapeutic for menopause that uses cognitive behavioural therapy as a non-hormonal alternative to hormone treatment. A 12-week clinical study in Germany was also initiated to evaluate its impact on menopause symptoms. 🌕 Lindus Health and Frieda Health completed an open-label pilot clinical trial evaluating the Frieda Menova digital therapeutic for menopause symptoms. The companies reported clinically meaningful and statistically significant symptom reductions versus standard of care, though full results have not yet been published 🌕 Amara Therapeutics reached a milestone when Curavit completed virtual recruitment ahead of schedule for the decentralised APPROVE trial, which is testing RiSolve, a digital therapeutic for overactive bladder 🌕And finally an Imperial College London AI analysis of data from over 19,000 IVF patients found that triggering egg collection when more follicles reach an intermediate size (around 13–18 mm), rather than focusing only on the largest follicles, is associated with more mature eggs and higher birth rates. The findings suggest AI could help personalise IVF timing and improve outcomes, with clinical trials planned These appear to be promising signals of progress, but not a claim that women’s health is “solved” or adequately funded 👇Links to sources in comments #digitalhealth #ai #femalehealth
