LEH (Libertatis Ergo Holding B.V) and Interhealth Holding B.V. invest a total of €500k in the Leiden-based startup dHealthIQ B.V. dHealthIQ supplies analytical software to elderly care institutions (in dutch: VVT).
dHealthIQ is on a mission to improve care for the elderly and physical rehabilitation by connecting nurses, health care professionals and family members to their state-of-the-art artificial intelligence platform.
dHealthIQ’s software uses data from various wearables, medical devices and sensors that help elderly persons to live at home safer and longer. The AI-based analytics includes frailty detection and automatic recognition of wellbeing and behaviour. These insights help care professionals provide a personalised care plan for patients, improves efficiency and keeps family members connected and informed.
The investment will be used for the further development of the frailty algorithm, to carry out pilots in various elderly care institutions, and to expand the team.
Mindaugas Leonavicius, dHealthIQ: “We already have an extremely strong academic foundation due to our close relationship with Leiden University, Kaunas Technology University, Lithuanian LiveScience university. However, this investment is essential for the commercialization of our technology.”
Maarten Zwitserloot, dHealthIQ: “The elderly care faces a major challenge, but fortunately our government is working hard on structural solutions. Thanks to this investment, we can also support elders to remain living at home.”
Rob Mayfield (Libertatis Ergo Holding B.V): “We are excited to be supporting dHealthIQ and their ambitions to improve elderly care as well as rehabilitation in the Netherlands.”
Stéfan Ellenbroek (unlock_): “I’m always very proud when one of the unlock_flock succeeds in attracting money. For dHealthIQ it’s a special case again as in its particular brand of e-health, this investment should get them a long way to integrate themselves in health care and the impact they seek. So Go Mindaugas and team and make us even more proud!”
