Espria

What Espria does

Espria (Stichting Espria) is a Dutch non-profit healthcare foundation headquartered in Beilen, Netherlands, that coordinates a platform of nine wholly-owned operating subsidiaries delivering care across the elderly, mental health, youth, home care, and disability segments. Its subsidiaries include Evean (elderly care, Amsterdam region), Icare (home care, nursing, and youth healthcare), Zorggroep Meander (elderly care), GGZ Drenthe (mental healthcare), Icare Thuisbegeleiding, Icare Jeugdgezondheidszorg, Altide, Zorgcentrale Noord, and the Espria Ledenvereniging — an independent member association serving approximately 300,000 households. In 2025, Espria divested De Trans (disability care) to Cosis and Vanboeijen and completed the merger of Icare and Zorggroep Meander, consolidating support services.

Espria's core technology stack centers on the ONS patient record system, a domotics platform with smart sensors and a 'Slimmere meldingen' BI dashboard, voice-controlled reporting (spraakgestuurd rapporteren), the Luna day-structure support screen deployed to over 750 clients, and the Leefcirkels life-circles system for dementia residents. Care innovations also include the PETRA e-health diary tool (developed with UMCG), the 3MDR virtual-reality-based trauma therapy, the PAIC-15 pain observation scale (with UNO-UMCG), and integrations with Medimo prescribing, Silverfit, and Fietslabyrint. Data infrastructure is being modernized through a partnership with New Nexus ('Rondrekening' data model spanning Zorggroep Meander, Icare V&V, and Evean).

Espria's business model is funded through regulated Dutch healthcare insurance contracts with major insurers (Zilveren Kruis, Coöperatie VGZ), government schemes (Wmo, Jeugdwet), hospital-displaced-care arrangements (e.g., Icare with Ziekenhuis St Jansdal), and member-related services through the Ledenvereniging. FY2025 revenue was €917.8 million with a €14.5 million positive result (1.6% yield), and the organization pursues future-proof care through programs such as 'De Buurt als Ecosysteem' (20 neighborhoods with ambition to scale to 1,000) and the Green Deal Duurzame Zorg 3.0 sustainability commitments.
