This is an old revision of the document!


This small app uses open statistic data in order compare hospitals in Switzerland.

In 2008/2009 a study was done to compare approximately 200 hospitals across the country using a range of quality indicators, such as waiting time in emergency rooms, and the types of cases handled. This data is freely available, and there is a Web app which can be used to run queries against the data, comparing one or more hospital/s to each other based on a selection of criteria.

In this project, we started developing a mobile app which presents a user-friendly view into this data, and has the potential of visualizing the information in innovative ways.

In late 2012, the project was continued as part of an internship. The results of this further development have been summarized and presented to the Department of Health in a short paper. A prototype binary of the app can be downloaded and installed at your own risk (you must enable non-App Store software in Settings first).
