The toll increases as in the equation p (price) x q (quantity), q (the number of prescriptions) is in the current stage of the digital transformation low. This means that returns on the significant investments are low, and even fixed costs may be hard to cover, making manufacturers dependent on investors, who in turn will need an appealing financial perspective over a reasonable period of time. Goeldner & Gehder (2024)[21] report that by the end of September 2023, 15 DiGA had surpassed the threshold of 5000 prescriptions over their lifetime, Nelson Advisors (2025)[53] that the top 15 DiGA, which account for 82% of total prescriptions receive between 8 and 77 prescriptions a day.

Zorgakkoorden.nl
Zorgakkoorden.nl is the Dutch government’s central health policy portal for “zorgakkoorden” (care agreements) and the broader transformation agenda in healthcare.
Zorgakkoorden.nl is an official platform linked to the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS), and is the successor to the policy site “De Juiste Zorg op de Juiste Plek”. The site functions as a public knowledge and documentation hub rather than a commercial site, hosting policy documents, guidance and examples from government-initiated programmes.
