The European path to reimbursement for digital health solutions

EN BREF ...

"The digital revolution now gaining momentum in European healthcare is redefining how and which care is delivered. Especially in the era of COVID-19, the digital delivery of healthcare has been more important than ever. A survey McKinsey conducted among 213 European physicians suggests that 55 to 58 percent of them believe that telemedicine will play a significantly greater role in the future. At the same time, thousands of digital health solutions are on the market and thousands more are being developed, mostly by start-ups and tech companies entering the sector for the first time rather than traditional healthcare companies. Naturally, many of the start-ups have set their sights on big rewards, but they are fast learning that these rewards can be hard to realize in such a complex sector, particularly when it comes to securing payment for a solution. Even companies that have attracted considerable initial funding to tackle significant health problems, such as nonadherence to medications or anxiety and depression, have struggled to commercialize their products."
