From Zero to DiGA

We condense years of experience from application procedures, evidence planning and BfArM consultations into support that avoids detours and reduces risks: from idea to listing to scale.

Where we work

Four reimbursement pathways

Each pathway has its own evidence requirements, timeline, and economics.

DiGA I & IIa1/4

DiGA (MDR Class I and IIa)

What it is

Prescription digital therapeutics (DTx) for all indications in the ICD catalogue, listed by BfArM and reimbursed by statutory health insurance for 74 million people in GER.

Why it matters

Germany is (next to France and Switzerland) the only market with scalable reimbursement for digital therapeutics in the world and the fastest route to reimbursed revenue in Europe.

Latest

The first DiGA crossed >€50M in annual reimbursement revenue in 2025: the market has moved from proof-of-concept to commercial scale.

Start a conversation
Oviva has shown that annual revenue of more than €50M with a DiGA is possible. We believe this kind of success is also possible in other indications.
