zanadio is more than just a weight loss app. The first app on prescription for obesity supports you in losing weight in a healthy, sustainable way and focuses on long-term behavioural changes instead of bans or renunciations. Not only do you receive an individual programme that is tailored exactly to your needs, but also digital tools to measure your success.
As a family doctor's practice, we see ourselves as long-term companions in dealing with your illnesses. Together with you, our experienced and specially trained doctors will find the best therapy or solution approach for your individual complaints. In the case of an obesity diagnosis, this can also be the zanadio app. In this case, you will be issued a prescription for zanadio. You can send the prescription to your health insurance company in the usual way. You will then receive your individual activation code.
The security of your personal and health data is particularly important. zanadio therefore only collects data that is important for the programme. Your personal data will never be passed on to unauthorised third parties and will only be stored in Germany.
You can enter the activation code into the app up to three months after receiving it to unlock your DiGA. The period of use itself is 90 days. Your DiGA will remind you from time to time that you need a follow-up prescription to continue using the app. You can easily get the follow-up prescription back from us.
Yes, zanadio is fully reimbursed by all statutory health insurers if you have been diagnosed with obesity. You send the prescription issued by your Avi Medical doctor to your statutory health insurance company via app, scan or post. Your DiGA is then activated via an individual activation code that you enter in the zanadio app.
Most private health insurances also reimburse DiGAs, but please check this with your insurance company beforehand.
All public health insurances reimburse DiGAs, and most private health insurances do too. However, as a precaution, check with your health insurance company beforehand if you are privately insured. Once you have the OK from your health insurer to reimburse zandio, the reimbursement process works as usual for private health insurers.
Download zandio from the App or Play Store, buy the app as a self-payer (via in-app purchase) and then have the amount reimbursed by your private health insurance company.
zanadio is approved as a medical device and is subject to the correspondingly high requirements for quality and data security. The programme is based on the active principles of established conservative obesity therapy and implements these digitally. Initial clinical studies have proven its effectiveness, and since January 2021 a larger independent study has been running in cooperation with the University of Leipzig. zanadio was developed by experienced professionals in the disciplines of nutrition, exercise and behaviour who have many years of experience in the treatment of obesity.
