AI implementation in German and Austrian healthcare

Overview

Health insurance providers in Germany and Austria are implementing artificial intelligence to enhance medical services and administrative efficiency.

In Germany, the ROKAVI project, led by the Medical University Hannover, is developing AI algorithms to analyze health insurance data for predicting individual cancer risks. This initiative aims to improve early detection and patient counseling.

In Austria, the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (ÖGK) has deployed an AI system named ‘KAI’ (Kostenerstattung mit Artificial Intelligence) to automate the processing of reimbursement claims for private doctor invoices. The system has processed over 85 million pages, allowing users to track reimbursement status in real-time via the ‘Meine ÖGK’ mobile application. The digital expansion also includes features for completing medical history forms for preventive check-ups, linking lifestyle recommendations to health courses, and consolidating electronic services for companies through a new dashboard.
