Kempenhaeghe

What Kempenhaeghe does

Kempenhaeghe (Stichting Kempenhaeghe) is a Dutch nonprofit foundation operating a tertiary expertise center for complex epilepsy, sleep medicine, and neurological learning and developmental disorders. Founded in 1962 with roots in Dutch epilepsy care dating back to the 1930s, the organization is headquartered in Heeze and operates a second main facility in Breda, complemented by ten outpatient clinic locations embedded in partner hospitals across the Netherlands including Maastricht UMC+, Radboudumc, and Maasstadziekenhuis. Its clinical portfolio spans the Academisch Centrum voor Epileptologie (Academic Center for Epileptology, jointly with Maastricht UMC+), the Centrum voor Slaapgeneeskunde, the Centrum voor Neurologische Leer- en Ontwikkelstoornissen, and the Centrum voor Epilepsiewoonzorg for residential care, alongside special education through its subsidiary De Berkenschutse.

The technology stack is built on the ChipSoft/HIX electronic patient record system used by Dutch hospitals, with the Mijn Kempenhaeghe patient portal (accessible via web and the Hix Patiënt app) supporting secure access to medical records, e-consult messaging, and appointment management through DigiD government-issued digital identity authentication. Clinical operations deploy the NightWatch wearable seizure detection device for nocturnal monitoring of epilepsy patients, and in early 2026 the organization began introducing social robotics within its residential care facilities. The model also includes data modalities covering EEG recordings, polysomnography video studies, and structured DBC (Diagnosis Treatment Combinations) billing records.

Kempenhaeghe's revenue model is built on Dutch public healthcare reimbursement, with services billed under the DBC system and contracts held with all Dutch health insurers for 2025 and 2026; patients pay the standard mandatory deductible (EUR 385 base, up to EUR 885 with voluntary excess). Specialized care is referral-based, with general practitioners and specialists channeling patients into the tertiary network. Additional revenue streams include long-term residential care, special education through De Berkenschutse, and professional training and education delivered by the Research, Development and Education department. Regulatory and quality certifications include ECZA recognition for rare epilepsy, SVNL quality mark for sleep medicine, and Qualicor Europe healthcare quality accreditation.
