Admed

What Admed does

Admed (legal name: Fondation admed analyses et diagnostics médicaux) is a private-law foundation established in 2006 through the merger of three canton-level laboratories (FLHN, INM, and INAP) and operates as the regional medical laboratory for the Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The foundation runs 7 physical sites with 200+ collaborators and executes more than 3 million analyses annually across six disciplines: clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, microbiology, pathology (including molecular pathology via the Idylla platform with NGS panels, FISH, HPV typing), and transfusion medicine. Admed is accredited since 2000 under ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 15189, is a Swiss Reference Center for tick-borne diseases, and operates a 16-carrier specimen transport fleet covering 300,000 km per year.

The technology stack is built around the Weblab platform, a secure HIN-protected portal that allows healthcare professionals to manage prescriptions, access real-time patient results, and order sampling materials, complemented by a public catalogue of analyses and direct integration with the national Electronic Patient Record (DEP / MonDossierSanté). Supporting infrastructure includes ISO-accredited lab departments (SMTS 0068 laboratory, SMTS 0111 microbiology, SMTS 0033 pathology, STS 0459 legal alcohol testing), an e-commerce material-ordering boutique, and an in-house IT function. Admed holds EU IVDR compliance (2017/745, 2017/746), GDPR/Swiss nDSG compliance, and is a signatory of the FAMH Code of Conduct.

Commercially, Admed operates a transaction-fee revenue model based on the regulated Swiss analysis list (Liste des analyses / LA) with OFAS point values, billed directly to patients' health insurance with copies sent to patients. Its customer base spans regional hospital networks (RHNe, CNP), elderly and disability care associations (ANEMPA, Foyer Handicap), private clinics (Clinique Le Noirmont), independent nursing networks (IINE), sexual health centers, private medical and veterinary practices, and a regional medical society (SNM) represented on its Foundation Council. Distribution is direct through physical collection sites, the Weblab platform, the online boutique, and the specimen transport network. As a foundation, Admed is nonprofit and has no shareholders, parent company, or external investors.
