Kaufland and Sana Open First Telemedicine Room Inside Supermarket in Mosbach

The pilot tests retail-based telemedicine as a way to ease access to doctors in areas with long waits.

Overview

  • The 54-square-meter, sound- and sight-proof S Medical Room offers video consultations with general practitioners plus on-site blood draws and ECGs.
  • Medical assistants staff the facility, and patients who need in-person examinations are referred to nearby practices or hospitals.
  • The Mosbach site operates Monday to Saturday from 8:00 to 19:00, with appointments available to book online or at the location.
  • The practice functions as an external branch of Sana’s MVZ in Neckarsulm, with medical technology supplied by the Schwarz Group.
  • Services are open to publicly and privately insured patients, with optional self-pay preventive checks, and any rollout to more stores will hinge on pilot results.
