Problem
Patients in Zurich often face fragmented care because primary physicians and specialists operate in separate, isolated practices, leading to duplicated administrative work, inefficient coordination, and limited access to digital health tools.
Solution
Viva Hub creates a shared medical hub where independent doctors and specialists co‑locate under one roof while retaining their own practices. The center provides common infrastructure—modern exam rooms, laboratory, pharmacy, imaging, and a digital platform for e‑prescriptions, AI‑assisted reports, and tele‑consultations—so clinicians can focus on patient care rather than bureaucracy. Real‑time digital communication and shared patient records eliminate duplicate testing and streamline referrals across disciplines such as general medicine, dermatology, gynecology, nutrition, and pain therapy. Patients book appointments, exchange documents, and receive virtual visits through a dedicated app, gaining transparent access to their health data and coordinated treatment plans. By combining a coworking model with advanced health‑IT, Viva Hub delivers a more efficient, patient‑centered experience without sacrificing physicians’ autonomy.

The primary customers are urban patients in Zurich seeking comprehensive primary and specialist care, as well as independent physicians who want a modern, collaborative practice environment with reduced administrative burden.
