DIPAT provides unique security

In July 2016, the German Federal Supreme Court confirmed what doctors have long known: most living wills are useless. This is because over 90% of all living will instructions are medically too vague or outdated. Furthermore, it usually takes days before a living will arrives at the clinic. By then all medical decisions have already been made.

DIPAT provides a solution to these problems. Its unique online interview system determines your level of willingness to be treated and uses this information to generate a living will that suits your specific needs. All medical and personal information required instantly in the event of an emergency is accurately recorded: allergies, contact details of next of kin, organ donation status, etc.

After printing and signing your living will, your information will be uploaded to DIPAT. You will also be provided with a personal access code sticker to attach to your insurance card, which insures your instructions are always with you wherever you go. To access your information, all that the emergency services and clinics require is an Internet connection. In the event your living will is accessed in an emergency, your next of kin will automatically be alerted by text message and email.
