Abstract
Austria’s healthcare ecosystem, anchored in conventional operational paradigms, faces mounting pressure to evolve. The ingrained models, though resilient, are being challenged by the escalating healthcare demands of a diverse and ageing populace, rising costs, and emerging health adversities. In this nuanced context, we present insights from a discourse with the CEO of Mavie Next, an Austrian healthcare provider and a corporate start-up of the UNIQA Group, to explore the pivotal intersection of digital health technologies and systemic evolution. The primary objectives of this interview were to: (1) understand the current challenges faced by Austria’s healthcare system; and (2) identify collaborative strategies and data sharing practices that can optimize the use of DHTs. These objectives guided our research questions, focusing on how Mavie Next, with its innovative approach and cross-border aspirations, can serve as a model for integrating DHTs in healthcare systems globally.
