Amsterdam, September 2023 - Digital health platform Quli will become part of Health Cloud Initiative (HCI). In addition to Uw Zorg Online, which joined forces with HCI in June 2023, Quli BV (Quli) is the second company within HCI that focuses on supporting users together with healthcare professionals and loved ones.
Quli is a digital health platform with, in addition, a personal health environment (PBU) that supports users in the area of personal health and care. Quli offers functionalities that give users appropriate autonomy and control over their own care processes. Users have access to their care data via Quli and can share it with loved ones and care providers. Cooperating organizations can provide their target groups with convenient additional (portal) functionalities and communication facilities. With the move to HCI, Quli wants to continue to innovate its products and services and make them available to a wider user group with the aim of further strengthening its market position.
HCI is a fast-growing provider of B2C digital health platforms and B2B healthcare provider software for a wide range of disciplines. The transaction is part of a buy-and-build strategy backed by investor Vortex Capital Partners. HCI's ambition is to work with healthcare practitioners to improve healthcare in the Netherlands. HCI aims to redefine and optimize support and preventive care. HCI's solutions aim to address significant challenges within the healthcare sector, including increasing administrative burdens, labor market tightness, financial issues and technological developments.
Marc Prette, CEO of Health Cloud Initiative: "The arrival of Quli marks an important step in further expanding HCI's proposition and enabling us to serve healthcare consumers even better. Quli offers a unique service in the triangle of healthcare consumers, loved ones and healthcare providers. This is an important addition to our consumer proposition together with Your Care Online for many of the segments in which HCI is active, for example the mental health sector."
Hans ter Brake, director at Quli: "Quli is an initiative of five healthcare organizations. Together with NextGen Ventures BV and Ordina Nederland BV, they owned Quli BV. I am grateful for all the support in the past years. At the same time, I look forward to the next phase of Quli in which, with Health Cloud Initiative as the sole shareholder, we will continue to pursue and fulfill our ambitions with the same fervor."
