On-site bone health day · Zurich

Find the fracture risk before the fracture.

A radiation-free bone health day at your Zurich offices. We scan 30 employees in one day, email each of them a clear result in minutes, and give you an anonymised picture of your workforce — for CHF 3,490 all in.

Included in the price: a campaign website in your company's name with the booking form built in. Forward one link to colleagues aged 45+ (men 55+) — it explains eligibility for them, so you don't have to.

The situation in Switzerland

Europe's costliest bone disease — and almost nobody is being screened.

524,000

people in Switzerland live with osteoporosis

82,000

fragility fractures a year — 226 every day

4.5%

of national health spending goes to fractures

No. 1

of 29 European countries for fracture cost per head

Fractures are on track to rise 37.5% by 2034, to 113,000 a year. In women, osteoporotic fractures outnumber heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined.

Switzerland is not short of scanners — 26.9 DXA units per million, 5th in Europe, with a 14-day average wait. The gap is the route to the person who hasn't broken anything yet: reimbursement follows a listed indication, and menopause alone is not one. So she waits, until something breaks.

What it means for you

A silent condition with a very loud absence cost.

It hits the most experienced people you have

Bone loss accelerates around menopause — roughly 2% a year, about 10% across the transition. The people affected are typically 45–60: senior specialists, team leads, institutional memory.

A hip fracture is not a sick day

Hip and vertebral fractures mean weeks to months away, phased return, and often permanent reduction in mobility. Wrist and shoulder fractures alone routinely cost 6–12 weeks of restricted work.

The warning comes too late

Osteoporosis has no symptoms. In Switzerland, a reimbursed DXA scan usually requires a listed indication — menopause alone does not qualify. In practice, the first sign is the first fracture.

83% of high-risk women get no therapy

The Swiss treatment gap has widened from 56% in 2010 to 83% today. Once identified, the condition is manageable — the failure is detection, not medicine.

Who we scan

Built around the women most exposed — open to everyone at risk.

The campaign is designed as a women's health initiative: bone loss accelerates sharply around the menopausal transition, and that is exactly the age band where organisations lose experienced people to avoidable injury. Men are included from 55, when their own risk curve turns.

Women
45+

Peri- and post-menopause is the fastest bone loss of a woman's life — and completely symptom-free.

Men
55+

One in five osteoporotic fractures happens in a man, and outcomes after a hip fracture are worse.

Also eligible at any age

Previous low-trauma fracture · long-term corticosteroids · aromatase inhibitors · early menopause · parental hip fracture · BMI under 19 · smoking or high alcohol use.

Questions HR asks first

Good to know

Who should attend?
Women from 45 and men from 55. Younger colleagues with a risk factor — a previous low-trauma fracture, long-term steroid use, aromatase inhibitors, early menopause, a parental hip fracture, low body weight — are also good candidates.
Is it a medical diagnosis?
No. It is a screening measurement validated against DXA at 90% sensitivity and specificity in 445 women. It gives a definitive answer for roughly 70% of people; the rest are referred on for a confirmatory scan.
What about data protection?
Results belong to the employee and are emailed to them directly. The employer receives anonymised, aggregated statistics only, and never a name-level list.
What do we need to provide?
A quiet room with a table, two chairs and a power socket, plus a scheduling link sent to eligible colleagues. We handle everything else.
Can we run two days?
Yes. Each additional day covers a further 30 employees at the same rate. Larger sites usually book two consecutive days.

Pick a date, forward one link.

We hold the date, you send the booking page to eligible colleagues, and the 30 slots fill themselves. Everything else is on us.
