Handelsblatt reported in its digital health newsletter at the beginning of April: the online dermatology practice Dermanostic<\/strong> has received certification as a class IIa medical device<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Behind this formal recognition, however, lies a longer dispute with the competitor OnlineDoctor<\/strong>, which sued Dermanostic last year, alleging that it was not sufficiently certified<\/strong>. At the time in question, both providers were competing for a health insurer tender and offer a very similar service<\/strong> in the field of teledermatological initial assessment.<\/p>\n

The courts ultimately confirmed the need for IIa certification<\/strong> for this type of application. While OnlineDoctor still offers its service under class I MDD based on the MDR transitional arrangement, Dermanostic has now overtaken its competitor, but stresses that this step had been planned anyway.<\/p>\n
