How it all started
“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday’s logic” – Peter Drucker
During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, many patients, including those with heart failure, couldn’t get the medical care they needed. Healthcare systems were overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases. The MedCor4U app was created in response to this urgent need for better care, for both COVID-19 and other patients.
The MedCor4U app is a secure telemonitoring system which connects patients and their vital signs directly to the hospital EHR, clinics, or other medical facilities. To ensure that this happens in a secure and seamless manner various types of of backend connectivity protocols are applied.
We follow strict criteria to select only clinically approved, high quality home monitoring devices such as blood pressure, body composition and spirometry monitors. The result is the user friendly MedCor4U mobile based application with secure connectivity to various devices.
Mission
Our mission is to give patients more control and insight into their health by using our core product the MedCor4U app, while reducing pressure on the healthcare system.
The MedCor4U app supports patients to receive guideline-based therapies at home using clinically approved monitoring devices, connecting their vitals to your EHR in a secure way.

Sustainability
It’s time to make healthcare more sustainable. Inhabitants of the Netherlands live on average 10.6km (round trip) from the nearest hospital. By using MedCor4U patients with chronic diseases such as heart failure, COPD and hypertension can easily measure and track their measurements at home.
Not only does this reduce CO2 emissions, it also saves time for the healthcare professionals and saves patients travel time. With MedCor4U we give patients more control over their own health and time.
