Investing in digital platforms and AI: an effective response to reduce healthcare costs in Switzerland? # Investing in digital platforms and AI: an effective response to reduce healthcare costs in Switzerland? Last updated on 27/08/2025 [All specialties](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/)  It’s no secret: healthcare costs in Switzerland are skyrocketing. With annual expenses estimated at nearly 100 billion Swiss francs according to the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), finding an effective solution has become urgent. Faced with this situation, the Swiss population is showing growing interest in digital platforms and new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). A study we conducted with Farner and MIS Trend reveals that 60% of Swiss people see these technologies as an opportunity to sustainably control healthcare system costs. Discover why in this article. ## Switzerland facing healthcare costs: what are the expectations? In a system where insurance premiums absorb up to 14% of low-income households’ earnings, Swiss citizens are looking for solutions. They are also asking for personalized medicine, shorter waiting times, and streamlined administrative processes to improve the quality and efficiency of the system, with costs that could reach 100 billion CHF by 2025 (sources: FSO, OECD). Our study, carried out in collaboration with Farner and MIS Trend, reveals that 60% of respondents believe digital platforms could reduce these expenses. ## Artificial intelligence: an effective solution to reduce healthcare costs? Artificial intelligence is sparking interest among the Swiss surveyed. Beyond reducing healthcare costs, AI—and digitalization more broadly—should bring several improvements to medicine. Respondents notably mentioned: - Improving the digitalization of health data - Verifying a diagnosis (second opinion) - Establishing a diagnosis faster and more accurately - Developing telemedicine - Automatically triaging medical emergencies - Offering more effective and better-adapted treatments - Enhancing safety during surgical operations These figures clearly show a collective awareness of the positive impact that digitalization and AI can have on the Swiss healthcare system, particularly regarding cost reduction. ### AI in practice: concrete examples of use in healthcare The benefits of AI in the medical field are numerous and tangible. In our [article on AI in medicine](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/ai-in-medicine-switzerland/), we discussed how AI can assist in diagnosis and lighten the workload of medical staff. However, it’s crucial to remember that AI will not replace healthcare professionals. Only 2% of Swiss respondents would fully trust a diagnosis made purely by AI, underlining the essential and irreplaceable role of physicians. AI must therefore be seen as a support tool in medicine, not as a substitute. ## Beyond AI: other digital solutions to simplify healthcare in Switzerland ### Telemedicine: a tool to make healthcare more accessible Telemedicine represents a major advancement for healthcare professionals: - Better management of medical time - Better patient follow-up For patients, it guarantees: - Increased accessibility, especially for rural or mobility-impaired populations - Fewer trips, thus lower associated costs ### Digitalization and management of medical schedules: concrete daily savings Digitalization of medical scheduling, like the service offered by OneDoc, generates immediate and measurable savings: - Optimization of appointment booking with 24/7 availability - Reduction of losses due to no-shows - Considerable administrative time savings, allowing professionals to focus on care - Fewer administrative errors thanks to the centralization of data in your medical agenda ### Digitalization and centralization of medical data Digitalization of health data, notably through the electronic patient record, not only saves time but also: - Reduces costs for patients (fewer duplicate tests) - Improves administrative management - Increases security ## Digitalization: an essential strategy for a sustainable future of Switzerland’s healthcare system Faced with the major economic challenges posed by the continuous rise in healthcare costs in Switzerland, investing in digital platforms and artificial intelligence appears to be an effective and sustainable solution. These technologies promise not only significant savings but also tangible improvements in daily medical practices.

The maximum margin of error is ±2.9% nationwide. The data were weighted to ensure regional and linguistic representativeness.
