Digitization of healthcare

Dear Sir or Madam,

Digitization is on everyone's lips. But where does Germany stand? We asked the Head of e-Health, Gematik & Telematics Infrastructure at the Federal Ministry of Health. The country is on the right track, but "we need to focus less on technology and concentrate more on people and processes," says Sebastian Zilch in our interview.

Get to know in our Topic of the Month what digitization can look like in practice. Because during pregnancy in particular, digitization may provide relief – not only in the healthcare system.
