What Esperity does

Esperity bv (also operating as Patient Centrics) is a Brussels-based digital health company founded in 2012 by bio-engineer Dr Mitchell Silva and nuclear-medicine specialist Dr Erard Le Beau de Hemricourt. The company operates a modular digital health platform that connects patients, patient advocacy organizations, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, employers, and coaches through shared infrastructure.

The platform comprises three core products: TrialsConnect, a unified clinical trial intelligence portal aggregating EU CTIS and ClinicalTrials.gov data with multilingual (11-language) search; the Esperity Health Patient Companion App, providing health diaries, symptom and medication tracking, appointment scheduling, and trial discovery; and a white-label Coaching Platform with freemium-to-Premium tiers and AI-powered session highlights. These are extended through branded therapeutic-area apps (CancerTrials Belgium, My DICE Companion, My Lungs App, My Pancreas Companion, TAND Toolkit, EVOSST App), an HCP Dashboard with EHR integration, a configurable Digital Research Platform for PROMs/PREMs collection, and service offerings including patient insights, education programs, and awareness campaigns. Technology infrastructure spans AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft with documented GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.

Esperity generates revenue through tiered SaaS subscriptions (per-seat with €10-per-20-user add-ons), enterprise white-label deployments to pharma and patient organizations on multi-year contracts, professional research services (advisory boards, journey mapping, real-world evidence), and white-label app licensing. Goto-market is hybrid: a freemium self-serve model for individuals and SMBs combined with direct enterprise field sales and partner-led distribution through 40+ global pharma and patient-organization partners. The company reports 100k+ patients reached, 90% patient satisfaction, 31 five-star Clutch reviews, and contributions to 10+ scientific publications, with no external equity funding disclosed.
