What are we doing?

We support patients and clients of various affiliated healthcare institutions in the use of digital care. This means they can now go to one place for all technical and non-medical questions regarding healthcare applications, such as HuisartsDichtbij, MedGemak or Uw Zorg Online.

They are helped skillfully and with a lot of patience by an experienced team of service employees who guide them in the use of digital care. Healthcare professionals thus have space and time to provide the best possible care to patients.
