Looking for improved ways of monitoring the patient inside and outside of the hospital, for better health outcomes.

Today, patient care delivery in hospitals is often inefficient, leading to high costs, less than desirable health outcomes and overworked staff. Discrete views of patient information can cause miscommunication and workflow inefficiencies which lead to patient complications, unwanted clinical variation and avoidable costs. The Dutch multinational believes that new methods in Patient Monitoring both in- and outside of the hospital can alleviate some of these issues. Like capturing data in new and more efficient ways and presenting this data in meaningful and timely ways to those people who need it the most. Solutions offered should address the following quadruple aim: • improved health outcomes • improved patient experience • improved staff satisfaction • and lower cost of care. The company is eager to establish collaborations in the framework of a technological or research agreement with emerging businesses. Particular interest is being paid to startups with innovative business models directly advancing the mentioned quadruple aim. Such as enabling shorter length of stay, managing of episodic risk of patients being readmitted to hospitals, managing referrals between clinicians or institutions, taking diagnosis, procedures or monitoring outside the hospital.
