The Health Product Wheel

The health system places special requirements on products and services. It is not always easy to navigate your way through it. The Techniker Krankenkasse Health Product Wheel supports you in developing and fine-tuning your idea. It helps you consider all relevant aspects, better understand interrelationships, and progressively guide your product to success.

Your product is at the front and centre. The individual ‘spokes’ of the wheel can be used as a guide to refine your innovation. If you do not have certain information right at hand, the wheel offers useful methods for elaborating on each area.
