Amsterdam-based medical messaging app has raised $10.5 million to expand across Europe, specifically in the DACH and Benelux regions as well as the UK and Ireland. The lead investor in the round is European digital health VC Heal Capital, which is backed by Germany鈥檚 private health insurers, and this marks the Berlin-based fund鈥檚 first investment a few months ago. Philips Health Technology Venture Fund and EQT Ventures also participated in the round.
The Dutch platform allows healthcare workers to communicate, share knowledge and research cases, all while sticking to regulations such as GDPR, ISO-27001, HIPAA and the NHS standards.

Now the Dutch app has over 250,000 users in healthcare institutions around Europe, such as Erasmus Medical Centre Rotterdam, Berlin-based Charit茅, and East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust.
