What Hfr Riaz does

Hfr Riaz, operating as Consultations Mémoire du canton de Fribourg (Memory-Clinic des Kantons Freiburg), is a public, state-affiliated multidisciplinary memory consultation service located in Canton Fribourg, Switzerland, with 17 employees delivering care across sites in Fribourg, Riaz, Tavel, Marsens, Villars-sur-Glâne, Givisiez, and Düdingen. The service provides structured diagnostic evaluation for patients with memory problems and other cognitive or behavioral disorders, combining neurologists, neuropsychologists, logopedists, geriatricians, radiologists, and psychiatrists within an 8-step pathway that begins with physician referral and proceeds through neurological and neuropsychological examinations, complementary tests (brain imaging, lumbar puncture, blood work), a multidisciplinary case conference, optional psychiatric consultation, diagnosis announcement, neuropsychological and logopedic support consultation, and coordinated follow-up with the treating physician. Consultations are delivered bilingually in French and German to cover the canton's linguistic mix, and patients 65+ with geriatric comorbidities are routed to HFR Tavel while patients with psychiatric comorbidities are routed to RFSM Marsens or Villars-sur-Glâne; neuropsychological assessments are also conducted at Givisiez.

The service is institutionally embedded in the Swiss cantonal healthcare system: it operates within HFR (Hôpital fribourgeois) and RFSM (Réseau fribourgeois de santé mentale), collaborates with hospitals across French-speaking Switzerland and patient associations including Alzheimer Switzerland and AFAAP, and is affiliated with the national Swiss Memory Clinic network. Care is reimbursed under Switzerland's basic health insurance (LAMal) framework using the TARMED tariff structure applicable to cantonal hospitals, and the organization is owned by the Canton of Fribourg as a government healthcare entity rather than as a privately held or publicly traded company.

The go-to-market is referral-led rather than commercial: patients are typically directed to the Memory Consultation by their treating physician (general practitioner or specialist such as psychiatrist or cardiologist), with a formal report issued to the prescriber after each consultation. Marketing channels are institutional, relying on HFR, RFSM, and the Swiss Memory Clinic network rather than consumer advertising. Revenue mechanics are those of a public professional services operation (specialist consultations and examinations reimbursed via cantonal budgets and LAMal) rather than a venture-style or product-license model.
