Vidymed

Vidymed, also known as Vidymed, is a Swiss medical group headquartered in Switzerland. The organisation operates four medical centres located in the cities of Lausanne and Épalinges. These centres provide outpatient healthcare services to the local population. Vidymed serves the regional healthcare market, focusing on patients in the Vaud canton. The group's footprint includes the four centres, which together constitute its primary service delivery network. No further quantitative details about patient volume or staff numbers are disclosed in the available sources.

Vidymed's distinguishing attribute is its role as a multi‑centre medical provider that maintained clinical operations despite a significant cyber incident. In December 2024 the group experienced a cyberattack that forced the temporary suspension of all IT services across its centres. During the incident, staff recorded patient information manually while medical services continued under specific security measures. The organisation responded by collaborating with cantonal authorities, law enforcement agencies, and specialised cybersecurity response teams. A crisis management unit was established to coordinate the response and address potential repercussions for the regional health system. Throughout the episode, Vidymed prioritised patient data security and transparent communication with affected individuals and stakeholders.
