Samen ZoeterMeer Gezond

What Samen ZoeterMeer Gezond does

Samen ZoeterMeer Gezond is the public-facing brand of Vereniging Gezondheidsregio Zoetermeer, a private non-profit membership association (Vereniging) established under Dutch law in 2022 in response to the Integraal Zorgakkoord requirement for regional care profiles. The organization coordinates healthcare, welfare, prevention, and social support services across the municipality of Zoetermeer (South Holland, Netherlands), serving a population of approximately 125,000 residents through a formal partnership network of more than 30 organizations including HagaZiekenhuis, Eerstelijnszorg Zoetermeer, GGZ Rivierduinen, Parnassia Groep, inZet, Stichting Piëzo, housing corporations (Vidomes, De Goede Woning), health insurers CZ and VGZ, and the municipality of Zoetermeer.

The association operates approximately 17 active projects organized under programmatic pillars: Chronic Care (Chronische Zorg) — including the Thuismeten remote monitoring app enabling self-measurement and sharing of vitals for heart disease, COPD, and diabetes patients; Elderly Care (Regionale Aanpak Ouderenzorg, Overlegtafel Ouderen, Herkenbare & Aanspreekbare Wijkverpleging); Mental Health (Mentale Gezondheidsnetwerk); Prevention and Positive Health (Positieve Gezondheid using the IPH Spinnenweb framework); and Caregiver Support (Mantelzorgacademie). Core technology consists of the Thuismeten mobile application and the adoption of the Institute for Positive Health (IPH) methodology as a cross-program conversation framework. There is no proprietary AI/ML or software product portfolio — these are digital enablement tools rather than technology products.

Samen ZoeterMeer Gezond does not generate commercial revenue. As a Vereniging, it is funded through member contributions from partner organizations (insurers, municipality, healthcare providers) and operates free of charge to residents. Programs and activities — including walking groups, Positive Health workshops, and the Autisme Belevingscircuit — are offered at no cost to participants. The association acts as a coordination layer rather than a direct service provider, with healthcare and welfare services reaching residents through the partner networks of GPs, hospitals, welfare organizations, schools, and municipal services.

Core offering

Samen ZoeterMeer Gezond coordinates a portfolio of regional healthcare, welfare, and prevention programs for the 125,000 residents of Zoetermeer, Netherlands. As a non-profit membership association, it does not sell a commercial product but bundles initiatives such as Positive Health workshops, the Thuismeten remote monitoring app for chronic disease patients, caregiver training (Mantelzorgacademie), district nursing coordination, advance care planning, and mental health network programs delivered through 30+ partner organizations.

Product overview

Samen ZoeterMeer Gezond is a regional healthcare collaboration program (not a technology product company) that coordinates care and well-being initiatives in Zoetermeer, Netherlands. The organization operates multiple interconnected programs including Positieve Gezondheid (a conversation framework for holistic health assessment), Thuismeten (a patient self-monitoring app), Herkenbare & Aanspreekbare Wijkverpleging (district nursing coordination), Mantelzorgacademie (caregiver training), and Proactieve Zorgplanning (advance care planning). The Chronische Zorg program portfolio combines these initiatives under a unified vision: self-care when possible, home-based care when possible, digital care when possible.
