Tailored advice
Everyone can use our services. It doesn’t matter where you are insured.
Independent
To guarantee independence, we will never advise just one medical specialist or hospital, but always two or more.
Our vision
An ever growing group of patients want to take a more active role in deciding (together with their doctor) about about their course of treatment. When people develop health complaints, they eventually end up in the healthcare community: an increasingly complex maze. Patients are becoming more critical, and are more eager to understand exactly what is happening and what treatment options are available. Patients increasingly expect a personal approach from the healthcare system. Due to the pressure on the healthcare system as a whole, these expectations cannot always be satisfied.
Our mission
It is our mission to empower patients to better direct their own medical journey though the healthcare maze (patient empowerment), by helping them become better informed. We do this by offering patients the opportunity to exchange ideas with a medical specialist. This feels like a good conversation with a friend who also happens to be a medical specialist, and therefore knows what he or she is talking about. Our goal is for patients to feel more in control, to be able to make better medical choices, and as a result to be more engaged in their eventual treatment.
