Implications and Perceptions of Digital Health Technologies: A Multiple Case Study on the Payers’ Viewpoint

Topics: Are you offering DHTs? Did you develop these DHTs yourself or are you partnering with startups or other companies?; Could you already assess the effectiveness and/or efficiency of DHTs?; 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?; What is the future role of a health insurance company?; 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?; Which digital health technologies (DHTs) are already used and reimbursed? In which fields? What are those offerings? How are these paid for? (self-paid, basic insurance, additional insurance, etc.)

Abstract: The study delves into the implications and perceptions of Digital Health Technologies (DHT) within the healthcare system. Among the many relevant stakeholders, the present study’s objective is to explore the perspective of health insurers particularly. On this, we have conducted a survey (1 face-to-face interview, 5 online questionnaires) for a multiple case study on lessons from European health insurance entities from 5 countries regarding usage scenarios of DHT. Recognized for their transformative potential, DHT promises to address demographic shifts, streamline payment processes, and enhance patient management, especially for chronic diseases. However, the survey participants still see challenges in terms of their long-term effectiveness, demographic and regulatory constraints. Countries like Germany have pioneered regulatory frameworks, but issues of trust and interoperability persist. The economic implications of DHT present both potential cost savings and financial burdens. Hea lth insurers emerge as pivotal players, acting as gatekeepers for DHT quality and driving adoption. As the DHT landscape evolves, continuous evaluation, adaptation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration are paramount for harnessing their full potential. (More)
