This is how Healthplus.ai's technology works

PERISCOPE® works with data already in the EPD (electric patient record). This is the digital file in which healthcare providers keep your medical data. Think of complaints, diagnoses, medication, allergies, results, letters and operation reports. Hospitals use systems such as Epic, ChipSoft/HiX or Oracle Cerner for this purpose. PERISCOPE® uses the data from these systems to calculate in real time a personal risk figure for complications after surgery. When that risk rises, the system alerts the healthcare team and immediately provides concrete action options. For example, additional check-ups, additional diagnostics, adjustment of medication or aftercare. This allows earlier intervention and reduces the risk of complications.

Investment ROM InWest

“Healthplus.ai is a great example of the innovative power in North Holland. Our region is an international hub for AI and Life Sciences & Health, and this scale-up combines those worlds perfectly. Their technology, PERISCOPE®, makes healthcare proactive: through accurate risk stratification, doctors can intervene faster or, on the contrary, let patients go home safely earlier. This not only improves recovery, but also provides hospitals with substantial cost savings. We are proud to support this North Holland innovation to break through internationally and future-proof healthcare.” - Sara Schaafsma, investment manager ROM InWest
