Topics: For which diseases do you think we need DHTs most? Why? Where do you think DHTs will work best? (what kind of disease and persona); How to cope with the economic burden of non-communicable diseases?; How to make prevention successful?; What is the future role of a health insurance company?; What is your main goal of offering these DHTs? (new revenue streams, cost-efficiency, customer loyalty); What kind of learnings did you generate so far? Are there DHTs that worked better than others? Why?; What needs to change in terms of regulations to make digital health successful?; Which emerging business models in digital health are promising?

Abstract: Amidst non-communicable diseases’ substantial health and economic burdens, health insurance companies and digital health technologies (DHTs) are increasingly crucial in enabling preventive care and minimizing global health expenditure. This position paper explores the perspective of an innovation manager of a Swiss health insurer. The interview transcript was analyzed using thematic analysis. The results highlight the importance of current regulations, the future role of health insurance companies, and the potential of DHTs to promote preventive care and business model innovation.
