Back

The Verband der Diagnostica-Industrie e.V. (VDGH) welcomes the intention of the second ordinance amending the Digital Health Applications Ordinance to integrate digital health applications (DiGA) more closely into the healthcare context and to enable in-depth insights into the actual healthcare process as well as to create transparency regarding the use of DiGA by insured persons and their satisfaction with its use. Overall, the VDGH advocates a shift in order to implement the application-accompanying performance measurement in a scientific, evidence-based and practical manner.
