What is the Innovation Fund?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>The Innovation Fund was established in 2016 as part of the Act to Strengthen Statutory Health Insurance (GKV-Versorgungsst\u00e4rkungsgesetz) to promote new forms of care and practical research projects in statutory health insurance (GKV). The aim is to test and evaluate innovative approaches ranging from cross-sectoral care pathways to digital health applications and, if successful, to transfer them to standard care. In this way, the fund builds a bridge between research and healthcare practice and contributes to a sustainable increase in treatment quality and efficiency. <\/p>\n<\/div>
The three funding areas of the Innovation Fund<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>The fund is divided into three funding areas:<\/p>\n<\/div>
