What Diagnovum does

Diagnovum, legally Stichting Diagnovum, is a Dutch non-profit foundation providing regional medical diagnostic services across Midden-Brabant, West-Brabant, and Zeeland. Founded on 1 May 2013 (originally as Diagnostiek Brabant, rebranded to Diagnovum in February 2020), the organization operates from Tilburg and serves patients referred by general practitioners, midwives, medical specialists, and the thrombosis service. Its core offering is blood collection (bloedafname) at an extensive network of neighborhood blood draw locations (prikposten) where patients can walk in without an appointment, supplemented by function examinations including echocardiography, cardiovascular testing (ECG, Holter monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure), fundus photography for diabetic eye screening, NIPT prenatal testing, and home visit phlebotomy services. Specialized Bravispunten diagnostic points offer function examinations in collaboration with Bravis Hospital across five locations.

The underlying technology stack centers on digital diagnostic ordering and result delivery, with Diagnovum receiving electronic orders through the ZorgDomein platform and integrating results into both GP and hospital information systems. Point of Care Testing (POCT) results are digitally transmitted via InnoTractor, and the proprietary Cadans application supports automated chronic disease patient recall. Online appointment scheduling is enabled through the Spreekuur.nl platform for fundus examinations. The organization acts as a coordinating authority (regievoerder) connecting four regional hospital systems (ETZ, Bravis, ZorgSaam, Adrz) and their associated laboratories (Microvida, Pathan, Accureon) with primary care providers.

Diagnovum generates revenue through contracted healthcare diagnostic services reimbursed by Dutch health insurers, with contracts covering first-line laboratory diagnostics and function/imaging examinations across all insurers in the Midden-Brabant care region. The organization holds ISO accreditation (confirmed via 2021 audit with extended scope) and operates under a multi-stakeholder governance model including a Directie/Bestuur, Raad van Toezicht, regionale Raden van Advies, and a Cliëntenraad. Headcount is reported in the 101-250 range, and the organization recorded 349,000 blood draws as a baseline operational metric in February 2020.
