What OpenMedical does
OpenMedical AG is a Swiss healthcare technology company headquartered in Reinach (Basel-Landschaft canton) that operates mednet, a communication and electronic data exchange platform for the Swiss healthcare system. The platform connects over 8,000 Swiss physicians with more than 10,000 healthcare providers — including hospitals, laboratories, radiology/MRI centers, and nursing homes — across all Swiss language regions (German, French, Italian). Mednet replaces paper-based correspondence by electronically transmitting medical findings, reports, results, orders, and SUVA forms, and automatically assigns incoming documents to the corresponding patient within the recipient's electronic medical record.
The platform is built on Java-based development using FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) interfaces and operates from Swiss-based data centers. It integrates with established categories of Swiss healthcare IT, including physician practice management systems (AIS/PIS), laboratory information systems (LIS), and clinical/hospital information systems (KIS), with a separate integration track for diverse (DIV) software providers. A mednet API is offered with publicly available security penetration-testing certificates, and the company emphasizes Swiss-only data residency, HTTPS encryption, multi-layered backup processes, and third-party penetration testing as core security controls. The firm conducts regular security training for personnel and uses open-source components where possible to limit malware exposure.
Commercially, OpenMedical sells on an annual subscription/recurring licensing model, with pricing disclosed only through a downloadable PDF price list. Distribution is direct to Swiss healthcare providers via a sales and customer support team, with new-customer onboarding including installation on customer systems in coordination with third-party software vendors, training, and partner acceptance. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and reports 1-10 employees. It is actively recruiting across ICT support, Java software development, data protection coordination, and social media management, indicating ongoing investment in technical, compliance, and go-to-market capacity.

OpenMedical competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Rhapsody (Lyniate): Specialized healthcare integration engine (formerly Rhapsody and Iguana) used by hospitals and labs globally for clinical data routing and interoperability — overlapping with mednet's core electronic data exchange functionality.
- Health Gorilla: Healthcare interoperability network enabling clinical data exchange between providers, labs, and HIEs — an emerging US-centric peer pursuing a similar provider-to-provider data exchange thesis as mednet.
- Redox: Healthcare API platform enabling EHR-to-application and provider-to-provider data exchange — a more modern, API-first entrant into the same healthcare interoperability space as mednet.
Broad incumbents
- CompuGroup Medical SE: Major European health IT vendor with established Swiss footprint, providing physician practice, hospital, and laboratory information systems that integrate with — and could compete against — communication layers like mednet.
- Dedalus Group: Large European health IT vendor offering clinical, diagnostic, and hospital information systems with significant Swiss and DACH operations — a broad incumbent whose platforms could bundle communication and data-exchange functionality competitive with mednet.
- InterSystems Corporation: Provider of the HealthShare healthcare interoperability platform and IRIS data platform, widely deployed across European hospitals and labs for clinical data exchange — a mature incumbent in the healthcare integration space mednet serves.
Regional players
- NEXUS AG: German health IT vendor providing hospital and pathology information systems with integrated communication workflows — comparable to mednet's hospital/lab data exchange offering, but focused on the German market.
- i-SOLUTIONS Health: German-based health IT vendor offering hospital and laboratory information systems with messaging and integration features — a regional peer with overlapping data-exchange functionality for providers.
Direct peers
- Health Info Net AG (HIN): Swiss-based provider of secure communication, identity, and data exchange services for healthcare professionals — the closest domestic peer, operating the same provider-to-provider secure communication niche in Switzerland.
- Post CH AG (Swiss Post Health): Operates Swiss community platforms for the national Electronic Patient Record (EPR) and provides secure healthcare data exchange infrastructure in Switzerland — a directly comparable Swiss eHealth communication and document-routing player.
