What is the Outlook for Germany's Healthcare by 2020?

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2009, Health 2.0 is a international organization dedicated to health innovation and made up of 90 chapters. The Berlin chapter has over 1000 members from healthcare, insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, startups, and eHealth enthusiasts. On October 25th, 120 interested people gathered at Spielfeld in Kreuzberg, Berlin to hear a forecast of the German healthcare system over the next 3 years. The Berlin Health 2.0 chapter event panel represented a wide spectrum of players in German healthcare: Yvonne Gründler from a totally new digital private health insurance company; Jonas Pendzialek, a consultant for digital health transformation of public insurance; Markus Dahlem who cofounded an app for headache treatment; and pharmaceutical veteran, Dr. Hardy Kietzman. Together they painted a picture that was both encouraging and honest.
