Problem
Communication between healthcare professionals, patients, and external health institutions in Switzerland often relies on insecure channels like email or standard messaging apps, raising concerns about data privacy and regulatory compliance. Existing practice information systems (PIS) and clinical information systems (KIS) may lack integrated secure communication features, leading to fragmented workflows and administrative overhead.
Solution
Unomed is a secure communication and collaboration platform designed specifically for the Swiss healthcare ecosystem. It enables encrypted messaging, file sharing, and data exchange between medical professionals, patients, and external organizations, ensuring compliance with Swiss data protection regulations (DSG) as well as GDPR and HIPAA. The platform integrates directly with existing PIS and KIS, streamlining administrative tasks and clinical workflows. Patients can use a free mobile app to connect with their healthcare providers, receive appointment reminders, and securely exchange documents. Unomed also facilitates secure data transfer of large medical files, including PACS/DICOM radiology images and HL7/FHIR data, even with external recipients who are not yet Unomed members.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes medical professionals (doctors, therapists, dentists), healthcare organizations (hospitals, clinics), and patients within the Swiss healthcare system.
