  • born/died//ch: an interactive, animated visualization which displays open data about the population of Switzerland, including birth by region and death by cause statistics, featuring 3D Web graphics.
  • Compare Hospitals implements a mobile app for browsing the results of a study done with approximately 200 hospitals across Switzerland using a range of quality indicators.
  • Emergency or Not is a prototype app for crowdsourcing health advice, aiming to get the user a quick response in the event of an emergency, inspired by the immediacy with which information can be shared on social networks like Twitter.
  • Gemba health diary has been working on a concept how a person could record his own health data, and allow the person to selectively grant e.g. a doctor access to his data without compromising privacy.
  • Hospital Data Visualization groups together several efforts to display information about the distribution of Swiss hospitals, relative to regional population and other factors, in the form of interactive maps and charts.
  • InstaCare is a mobile app for quickly locating and getting directions to the nearest health care center in several categories. With a highly usable design, the app integrates opening times, specialization, and data useful to persons with reduced mobility.
  • iPollution extracts the yearly mean values of the air pollution in Switzerland from graphical maps on the BAFU website and presents them to a user based on location, visualizing the cumulative effect of being exposed to pollutants over years.
  • Medical Timeline integrates nutrient information from open databases about food, related to your health condition. Our original goal, for which we made a concept, is an app collecting health related events along a person's individual lifetime.
  • myGenerics uses open pharmaceutical data to list generic alternatives for a drug of interest, the results showing all brands and types of packaging, helping to make an informed decision when purchasing medicaments and potentially lowering treatment costs.
  • Open Med Sensor tries to open a proprietary medical sensor device for measuring blood pressure and connect it via Bluetooth to the internet.
  • See our extensive list of data sources, including recent data releases by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health.
