What health-it does

healtH-it GmbH is a privately held Swiss healthcare IT consulting and advisory firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Goldach, Switzerland. The company serves Swiss hospitals, medical centers, and healthcare associations with a five-module service portfolio spanning training (Schulungen), concept development (Konzepte), procurement support (Beschaffung, including GATT/WTO-compliant public tenders), system implementation (Implementierung), and IT management consulting (IT-Management). Its technical differentiation rests on deep specialization in Swiss eHealth regulation (EPDG), the electronic patient dossier (EPD), and the IHE interoperability framework, supplemented by a dedicated EPD4H onboarding offering for physician practices.

The firm operates as a boutique advisory practice with a core team of approximately four professionals led by Managing Director Jürg Lindenmann, who is also the founder and Geschäftsführer. Revenue is generated through quote-based, multi-year consulting engagements sold directly to enterprise healthcare clients; GTM combines sales-led direct engagement with community-led demand generation via industry association leadership (VGI, SVDG), eHealth Suisse working group participation, university lecturing (OST, BFH, IKF, WISS), and an extensive publication record in Swiss health IT outlets. The firm has no external funding, no parent company, no disclosed revenue, and operates exclusively in Switzerland with no announced international expansion.

The customer base consists of marquee Swiss hospitals including Universitäts-Kinderspital beider Basel (UKBB), Hirslanden, Kantonsspital Aarau (KSA), Spital Thurgau AG (STGAG), Luzerner Kantonsspital (LUKS), and Inselspital Bern, alongside various healthcare associations. No AI/ML capabilities are evidenced in the product portfolio, which is consistent with a pure advisory and consulting business model rather than a technology product company.
