Chipmunk Health

What Chipmunk Health does

Chipmunk Health (legal entity: Chipmunk Healthcare Solutions B.V.) is a Dutch healthcare technology company headquartered in Heerlen, Netherlands, that delivers a closed-loop remote patient monitoring (telemonitoring) platform for chronic disease management. The product consists of plug-and-play Bluetooth medical measurement devices (blood pressure monitors, scales, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, peak flow meters, thermometers, activity trackers), a proprietary communication hub/router, and a web-based dashboard for healthcare providers, supplemented by a patient-facing iOS and Android app. The system is engineered so patients do not need a smartphone or manual data entry — measurements transmit automatically from the medical device to the hub and onward to a medically certified cloud infrastructure (ISO 27001, ISO 27002, NEN 7510) hosted in the European Economic Area, eliminating input errors and producing data described by clinicians as comparable in reliability to in-clinic measurements. A web-based patient portal (health.chipmunk.it) and configurable provider threshold alerts complete the platform.

The company serves Dutch healthcare providers — GPs and practice assistants (POH), hospital departments, structured care programs, and municipalities — through a partnership-led go-to-market anchored by named deployments including Meditta Virtuele Kliniek (diabetes monitoring in Western Limburg with insurer CZ), Ziekenhuis Groep Twente (ZGT) for post-operative gastric bypass home monitoring enabling same-day discharge, Strokecoach for stroke rehabilitation, and Gemeente Heerlen for combined health and indoor-environment population monitoring. Distribution relies on healthcare provider referrals and VIPLive integration for patient registration, with hardware shipped to patients via PostNL.

Revenue is generated through recurring, subscription-style contracts funded primarily by Dutch health insurers (zorgverzekeraars) under the DBC Ketenzorg Diabetes reimbursement framework, with no out-of-pocket cost to patients. The company is privately held, founder-led by Erik Duijsens (CEO) with Paul Perreijn as CTO, appears bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and operates with a 1–10 employee team. Documented clinical outcomes include a 50% time savings per patient for practice assistants and an 83.5% satisfaction rate among platform users, based on a two-year field test across 36 GP practices and 600 patients in the Sittard region.

Core offering

Chipmunk Health provides a closed telemonitoring platform that enables patients to perform reliable clinical measurements at home using Bluetooth-enabled medical devices (blood pressure, weight, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, activity, peak flow), with data automatically transmitted via a hub/router to a medically certified cloud. Healthcare providers access patient data through a web dashboard with configurable alerts, while patients view their own measurements via web and mobile apps. The system is designed to require no smartphone or manual entry from patients, integrating with care programs for diabetes, COPD, post-operative, and stroke rehabilitation use cases in the Dutch market.

Product overview

Chipmunk Health offers a telemonitoring platform consisting of the Chipmunk Health Platform (the core system), the Chipmunk Router (hardware hub for data collection), the Chipmunk App (mobile application for iOS and Android), and the Chipmunk Dashboard (web portals for both patients and healthcare providers). The system uses plug-and-play measurement devices including blood pressure meters, scales, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, peak flow meters, thermometers, and activity trackers that automatically transmit data via Bluetooth to the router, which forwards it to the cloud for healthcare provider review.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Hinge Health: Digital musculoskeletal and chronic-condition management platform reimbursed by employers and health plans. Comparable in reimbursement-backed chronic care delivery and dashboard-driven provider workflows, though addressing different conditions and geographies.
• Omada Health: Digital chronic disease prevention and management company with strong presence in diabetes and hypertension programs reimbursed by US payers. Comparable in chronic-disease monitoring business model and reimbursement-driven GTM, though delivered via app/coaching rather than a hardware hub.
• Withings: Consumer and prosumer connected health device maker (BP monitors, scales, sleep, activity) with a cloud platform. Comparable in the connected-measurement-device layer that feeds Chipmunk's hub, though Withouts's go-to-market is consumer rather than provider-led.

Broad incumbents

• Dexcom: Leading continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) company with connected devices and clinician-shared data. Comparable in the diabetes monitoring niche that anchors Chipmunk's primary use case, though focused specifically on CGM rather than multi-parameter vital-signs.
• Tunstall Healthcare: Established European provider of telecare and remote patient monitoring hardware and services for chronic disease and elderly care. Comparable in product scope but operates as a broad incumbent across multiple geographies rather than a focused Dutch startup.
• Medtronic: Major diabetes and connected-care device company offering insulin pumps, CGMs, and CareLink remote-monitoring infrastructure. Comparable in the diabetes monitoring segment but with vastly broader device, data, and clinical offerings.
• Philips: Global incumbent offering connected care, telehealth, and RPM solutions (e.g., HealthSuite, eICU) as part of a broad hospital-IT and medical-device portfolio. Overlaps with Chipmunk in clinical-grade vital-signs monitoring but at very different scale and scope.
• Roche (mySugr): Diabetes management platform owned by Roche, combining connected glucose devices, a patient app, and clinician tools. Comparable to Chipmunk in diabetes self-monitoring and remote nurse oversight, but bundled within a global diagnostics and pharma incumbent.

Direct peers

• Vivify Health: US-based RPM platform providing connected devices, patient apps, and clinician dashboards for chronic disease and post-acute care. Directly comparable in technology stack and care-pathway use cases, with overlap in vital-signs capture and provider alerting.
• Luscii: Dutch remote patient monitoring platform serving hospitals and primary care with connected vital-signs devices, dashboards, and reimbursement-backed programs. Direct competitor to Chipmunk in the same geography with overlapping chronic disease and post-discharge use cases.
