We believe we can be number one in selected markets with selected processes when it comes to directed communication and secure data exchange in healthcare. In cooperation with strong partners. For the benefit of the patient. That’s why our customers choose us. Because they trust us to provide them with the best solutions to their challenges.
Our Story
Olivier Willi took an anti-cyclical approach: in autumn 2001, when the Internet bubble burst, he deliberately bet on the Internet. Willi’s brother-in-law, Daniel Hüssy, had tipped the scales in his favor. A doctor who wanted to make emergency service scheduling more efficient. Previously, this had been a huge paperwork expense. Many doctors had felt disadvantaged. Disagreements and disputes had arisen. Then it fell like scales from Willi’s eyes: This problem should be easily solvable on the Internet. You would enter the data and the computer could create the appropriate roster. Thus, Visionary AG was founded in August 2002.

Milestones
2001
During a meeting with Olivier Willi, Daniel Hüssy, MD, a practicing physician, mentions that organizing outpatient emergency medical services is extremely time-consuming. In a eureka! moment, Olivier Willi immediately realizes that Internet-based planning will provide the solution. He decides to take the docbox adventure!
2002
The Visionary AG is founded! Zürimed is our first customer: After a development period of around 6 months, the emergency service plans of the first 70 practicing doctors in Zurich North are successfully created with docbox in the fall.
2005
Some doctors of the emergency service district Uzwil point out that the allocation of appointments to pharmaceutical representatives blocks the practice telephone for patients for weeks at a time. We decide to develop docbox physician visitor scheduling, which goes live the same year.
2012
The radiology department of the University Hospital Zurich puts the docbox eRegistration and eReport into operation. This is the first time that patient data has been sent via docbox.
2016
The Hirslanden Group decides to network its affiliated doctors of the 17 clinics with docbox. docbox is the only referral network in Switzerland with the most interfaces to physicians and demonstrably high traffic.
2019
The new docbox 4.0 goes live. It is based on state-of-the-art microservice architecture. This means that new functions and services can be developed and implemented independently in the future. It forms the basis for the further expansion of our business activities.
2020
docbox counts more than 12'000 doctors, 10 medical call centers, 30 hospitals and more than 100 life science companies as customers/users and is thus the largest eHealth platform in Switzerland.
"Visionary AG is an e-business venture that is strongly focused on customer benefits and less on internet hype: the internet is not a toy, but a tool."
