Germany’s healthcare system is large but highly fragmented, with diverse hospital operators, state-specific data protection rules, Medical Device Regulation (MDR), complex reimbursement structures, and long procurement cycles. These conditions create significant challenges for developing and implementing healthcare solutions.

What participants will do

Participants will explore healthcare challenges in Germany and develop prototype ideas or methodological approaches for addressing them.

What to expect

The workshop will focus on moving from a concrete problem to a potential prototype while considering the fragmented structure of the German healthcare market and its regulatory, reimbursement, and procurement requirements.
