In case you missed it... 🎥 A few weeks ago, Piotr Orzechowski, CEO of Infermedica, sat down with Daniel Cardinal, Head of Innovation at Techniker Krankenkasse — Germany's largest statutory health insurer — to talk about the reforms reshaping German healthcare. A few takeaways that stuck with us: 🔹 Patient navigation used to be a controversial idea in Germany. Today, it's central to the conversation — because appointment access has become the biggest pain point for patients. 🔹 Germany now has an electronic patient record for every statutory health-insured citizen — 72 million records, built in record time once the system committed to it. 🔹 New legislation this fall could let insurers offer a digital "front door" directly through their own apps — reshaping who patients turn to first. 🔹 Daniel's advice to startups and vendors entering the German market: know the system, come with realistic expectations, and start small before scaling.
