How expat families in Switzerland manage medical records across cantons, insurers, and multilingual healthcare systems. Organise health history for Hausarzt and specialists.
Switzerland has no centralised patient record system — the elektronisches Patientendossier (EPD) has minimal adoption. Records are fragmented across cantons, providers, and three national languages (German, French, Italian). When you leave, you must request copies from each provider individually. PRIVAWELL consolidates all records into one structured vault built in Switzerland, with multilingual doctor-ready exports for any country you move to next.
Ensure your family's medical history is structured, get insights and your health summary is ready before you arrive. Switzerland offers exceptional healthcare. But continuity is your responsibility.
Switzerland has one of the most advanced healthcare systems in the world. But it is decentralised.
When you arrive in Switzerland: your new doctor has no access to your history. Your child's medical background must be explained from scratch. Previous reports are scattered across systems and countries. Continuity is not built into the system. You have to bring it with you.
When expat families leave Switzerland, they face the problem of contacting each provider individually to request copies. Swiss medical records may be in German, French, or Italian, which complicates use in the next country. Lab reference ranges follow European standards but report formats vary by laboratory. The Swiss Impfausweis vaccination booklet is a paper document that must be physically carried. Families who spent years in Switzerland leave with records scattered across cantons and languages.
Structure: All records in one place — across countries and providers — in a Swiss military-grade vault. Clarity: Generate doctor-ready summaries in seconds, in any language, and get health insights. Continuity: Your medical history travels with you — wherever life takes your family next.
These are the moments where families realise too late that their records are not ready.
PRIVAWELL is designed for families living across borders. You own your medical history. Not tied to hospitals or insurers. Structured for real clinical use. Get insights of your health data when uploading medical records. Accessible anywhere in the world.
