Full Story

Medgate connects 2.5 million patients to doctors remotely across Switzerland and Germany, handling around 3,000 consultations daily during peak winter periods. The company's engineering team faced a growing feature backlog and increasing regulatory requirements—development cycles had become bottlenecks to healthcare innovation.

The challenge was acute: Medgate needed to accelerate software development without compromising the reliability that healthcare-critical infrastructure demands. Every deployment had to be both fast and safe.

Medgate engaged OWT, a Swisscom company and Switzerland's leading technology consultancy, to run a three-month Claude Code pilot across four teams with approximately 15 engineers. The results validated organization-wide rollout.

Post-pilot, Claude Code delivered up to 80% faster test case development, 50–99% reduction in delivery time for some features, 90% faster bug resolution through automated root cause analysis, and a 50% improvement in code quality through AI-enhanced PR reviews.
