The Dutch are the international front-runners in e-Health. Public-private collaborations and investments are the driving force behind a multitude of new ideas and right now, countless new e-Health applications are in the making.
When it comes to e-health, Holland leads the way thanks to its top-level science. It boasts the highest ICT penetration in hospitals and clinics and it offers exciting opportunities for start-ups and scale-ups.
“It is in the Dutch culture to innovate” describes Friso Hennings Backer of Oost NL, The East Netherlands Development Agency. “We are simply not influenced by hierarchy in work and normal life. So in any level of society nobody takes something for granted and will prove that they can make something better than the boss, or management team, or government says is the standard. This is in the veins of people in our country.”
In this special feature we profile a diverse range of innovations from Dutch solution providers which are changing the face of healthcare provision in Holland and beyond.
