With the support of Fraunhofer IESE, the Bertelsmann Stiftung is currently developing a concept for the “Trusted Health Ecosystem”, a Digital Ecosystem for healthcare systems in Germany and Europe.
Patients should receive the best possible information and support during the course of their illness. To this end, they should be able to easily access high-quality health information that they can easily understand and that is tailored to their specific situation. In addition, they should have easy access to integrated services such as appointment booking, telemedicine, and many others. In this conceptualization, the focus of consideration is the selection and interaction of potential healthcare partners. It is important that both health tech startups and established companies – from physicians to corporations – can get involved and can contribute and cooperate for the benefit of the patients. To do so, well-trodden paths must be left behind so as not that restrict the solution space unnecessarily. Instead, solutions must be designed that fully exploit the possibilities of the digital world and create real added value for patients, rather than just marginal improvements. In this ambitious project, the Bertelsmann Stiftung is relying on Fraunhofer IESE’s many years of experience in designing and building Digital Ecosystems in a wide variety of industries. In this context, Fraunhofer IESE is using selected methods from its ecosystem portfolio, which ranges from initial positioning to conception and market launch all the way to growth and scaling.
