Integration into the apps of public health insurance providers
BARMER: Health insurance for a healthier life
BARMER is one of the largest public health insurance companies in Germany. Its motto is to think ahead when it comes to health. BARMER actively supports more than 8.5 million insured members in all matters relating to health, illness and care, inspires them to lead healthier lives and encourages self-care by promoting individual health awareness.
BARMER is setting trends in the digitisation of healthcare, for example with its electronic patient file eCare, the Barmer app and many other digital services.
BARMER is the first health insurance provider to support the pilot project as a partner of the German publich health insurance system. In 2025, digitally structured EPILs will be integrated into BARMER’s digital offering. The aim is to better inform insured persons about the use of medicines and thus increase patient safety.
