The free health dossier from Swisscom’s subsidiary Evita is now available in French, Italian and English as well as German. The addition of the new languages means Evita is now a health dossier for the whole of Switzerland and fulfils a further requirement of Switzerland’s eHealth strategy.
- (1888PressRelease) July 27, 2011 - With Evita, health data and documents can be stored securely online and can be accessed at any time and from anywhere in the world via a secure login system. These days, important health-related documents and data, such as doctor's reports, diagnoses and X-rays are often difficult to find when you need them. Users can now classify and store this information in their own personal Evita health dossier, which can be accessed by third parties, e.g. doctors, as and when required.
Patrick Kutschera, CEO of Evita AG says: “It is important for Evita to offer an online health dossier for the whole of Switzerland as this is the only way to ensure that both customers and healthcare providers, such as doctors and hospitals, reap the full benefits.” The role of personal health management in the prevention and treatment of illnesses is becoming increasingly important the world over. An important measure in this respect is networking the players in the healthcare sector, one of the objectives of the Federal Government’s eHealth strategy. Swisscom and Evita are therefore particularly committed to providing a product which can be used throughout Switzerland and which serves as an example of how the patient portal envisaged by the eHealth strategy might eventually look.
