Data, facts and instruments on the German health system

Digital health apps: How two mindset bugs and two consultation errors hinder their use
What it’s all about
Digital health apps have been performing extremely poorly since their introduction. The root cause analysis shows that two mindset bugs, supplemented by two other “craft” errors, torpedo substantial dissemination.
The three reasons that are really holding back digitization in the ambulatory sector
Data, facts and instruments on the German health system
What it’s all about

Data, facts and instruments on the German health system
What it’s all about
