To give these insights wider support, we have developed an app, which healthcare professionals can use to gain new insights themselves.

The app consists of a good number of challenges, grouped into different categories, that healthcare professionals can apply to their daily work. It works a bit like Tinder, if you don't like a challenge then you swipe to the next one.

Insights and research

Users can choose certain tasks for themselves. This builds a care profile that provides insight into personal preferences and qualities. In addition to providing personal insights for the user, the anonymous results are used for scientific research.
