Heart for Health

What Heart for Health does

Heart for Health ICT BV is a privately held Dutch healthcare-IT vendor founded in 2007 by practicing physicians and headquartered in Amsterdam, with an engineering office in Skopje (North Macedonia) and a HartWacht monitoring operations site in Dokkum. The company is the software arm of the broader Heart for Health Group, which also encompasses Cardiologie Centra Nederland (CCN, founded 2006) and Heart for Health International, giving it tight coupling to a clinical care network that doubles as launching customer and proof point.

The product is a unified Medical Platform that pairs MedicalPortal 2.0, a cloud-based, fully customizable Electronic Health Record (EHR/EPD) with care pathways, BI dashboards covering 20+ KPIs, Keycloak SSO and integration with medical devices and third-party systems, with HartWacht, an award-winning eHealth suite for remote patient monitoring. HartWacht modules cover arrhythmia (KardiaMobile-based), heart failure, refractory hypertension, CVRM, TAVI post-procedure care and an in-development diabetes program; since 2016 the platform has reviewed nearly 500,000 ECGs and supports over 5,000 patient interactions per week.

The business model is subscription-based, with HartWacht reimbursed by all Dutch health insurers through basic insurance (patients pay the standard deductible) and MedicalPortal licensed to healthcare institutions under multi-year arrangements; technical support, training and customization generate professional-services revenue on top. Customers include independent treatment centers (CCN, HeartLife Clinics, Jessica Gal Sportgeneeskunde), academic and general hospitals (Amsterdam UMC, with Epic integration), and newer international accounts such as Good Health Cardiac Clinic in Canada; the company has direct presence in the Netherlands, Canada, Serbia and Romania, and HartWacht has been extended to 19 European countries in partnership with AliveCor. GTM is enterprise field sales with a dedicated Sales & Account Director for the EHR portfolio, supported by industry congresses (NedHIS, ZKN), customer case studies and research collaborations (including an Apple Watch AFib study with CCN).

Broad incumbents

• Teladoc Health: Global telehealth and chronic-care platform (including the Livongo chronic-condition suite for hypertension, diabetes, and heart failure)—a large incumbent defining the structural competitor set for cardiology-focused RPM vendors.
• Epic Systems: Global EHR leader whose platform is deployed at Amsterdam UMC where Heart for Health integrates HartWacht—an incumbent whose own RPM and care-pathway roadmap defines the structural ceiling on specialist vendors like Heart for Health.
• ChipSoft: The largest Dutch EHR vendor (HiX), with broad hospital and clinic penetration that overlaps with MedicalPortal in the Dutch EHR market and competes for the same cardiology and specialty-clinic budgets.

Direct peers

• Vivify Health: RPM and connected-care platform used by US health systems and payers for chronic-condition remote monitoring, overlapping with Heart for Health's combined EHR-plus-RPM, care-pathway approach.
• Luscii: Amsterdam-based RPM platform focused on remote monitoring for chronic conditions (including heart failure, COPD, and hypertension), often cited as the leading Dutch competitor to HartWacht and serving the same hospital/clinic buyers.
• Biofourmis: US-based RPM platform combining connected biosensors with AI analytics for chronic disease management (including heart failure)—directly comparable to HartWacht's algorithmic, device-plus-software care model.
• Cardiologs (Philips): AI-powered ECG analysis platform (now part of Philips) that automates arrhythmia detection—functionally overlapping with the algorithm layer of HartWacht's arrhythmia program and competing for the same cardiology AI budget.
• Current Health (Best Buy Health): Enterprise RPM platform used by hospital systems and home-health providers to monitor chronic and post-acute patients remotely, competing in the same care-pathway, RPM-plus-EHR integration category as HartWacht.
• Nedap Healthcare: Dutch healthcare IT vendor offering EHR, patient monitoring, and integrated care solutions to hospitals, GGZ, and elderly-care providers—an established Dutch competitor across both MedicalPortal's EHR and HartWacht's care-pathway segments.

Others

• OMRON Healthcare: Connected blood-pressure and vital-sign device manufacturer whose products integrate with HartWacht (and which acquired Luscii); an enabling/adjacent ecosystem player rather than a direct software competitor.
