Wacomed BV – Opening Up Medicine

Wacomed BV is a Dutch company established at the end of he 20th Century, in the early days of eHealth.

Initially having a focus on consumer and patient empowerment, in particular through the use of online information, peer-support and patient-provider communication, in collaboration with other e-health pioniers, Wacomed has helped establish what we now know as e-health, gradually becoming ‘regular health’ as we know it now in the 21st Century.

Among involvement in many Dutch and pan-European e-health projects, examples of Wacomed contributions are e.g.:

• www.dokterdokter.nl
• Handbook Online Health Information and Peer Support (book) – review #1; review #2 (PDF).
• D7.6 Towards a Change Management Tool Box in eHEIC (2016).
