DIGILO is a free internet platform that assists users in exploring more than 1400 health offers in Eschwege and the surrounding region. The service includes doctors, therapists, nutritionists, clubs, pharmacies, fitness providers and many more.

“With GWMK’s DIGILO platform, interested parties can quickly and easily choose and display health offers in their local area. Information can be accessed at any time – for many, this is a great first step towards doing something for their own health,” says Dr. Rainer Wallmann, First District Commissioner and Head of Health in the district “The search results are displayed on an interactive map and sorted by category for further clarity,” adds Fritz Arndt, Care Manager for “Gesunder Werra-Meißner-Kreis GmbH”.

However, DIGILO is not only a service for interested residents in the region; it is also being used to support 49 community health guides and community nurses with their consultations throughout the Werra-Meißner district. The geo-coded concept for the DIGILO platform was developed by OptiMedis and can be applied in different regions. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to kommunikation@optimedis.de.
