improve participation in their own medical treatment

Why should we facilitate interaction between people being under medical treatment..?

Because being ill

without the ability to

participate, feels like pushing a heavy rock

uphill..

..but what does healthcare

innovation have to do with the planet??

We develop services to help people do

more themselves and really participate

during their medical treatment..

..that is relevant because Dutch healthcare spendings will fivefold in the coming 15 years..

..for healthcare professionals it is crucial to look for innovative ways to enable people to do more

themselves..

..medical specialists can be skeptical about healthcare and the Internet..

But there is a generation coming that has different needs and demands.

And this creates opportunities

We need to look at services from a patients’ perspective, not solely the doctors’

remember this..?

..just a simple example of using technology to provide smarter care..
