Healthcare

Healthcare is no longer governable without data & AI

Rising costs. Workforce shortages. Growing complexity. Across Europe, healthcare systems are struggling to stay in control, and without data and AI, that struggle only deepens.

Of Hospitals operate with margins below 1%, due to limited data-driven steering.

Of Belgians are covered by 3 mutualities, yet their scale and data remain largely untapped to proactively safeguard affordability.

Growth in care demand is projected, while workforce and budgets fail to keep pace.

Data exists. Insights are fragmented.

Healthcare organisations generate vast amounts of data, yet much of it remains fragmented, underused or disconnected from real decisions.

Data teams are busy, but not steering decisions.

Too much time goes to reactive reporting. Too little to enabling the decisions that truly matter.

Care has outgrown human-scale steering.

Care now spans multiple actors, systems and pathways. What once worked locally can no longer be coordinated manually or consistently across organisations.

From insight to
real decisions

Data must actively support prioritisation, trade-offs and timing, where outcomes and costs are shaped.

From local optimisation to end-to-end steering

Care is still optimised within silos. Steering must reflect how care is actually delivered, across teams, organisations and the full patient journey.

From urgency-driven to choice-driven priorities

Too many initiatives follow the loudest request. Real impact requires explicit steering choices, and sustained alignment of data, teams and capabilities around them.

Healthcare Roundtable

Creating Space For Collaboration

Through initiatives like the Healthcare Roundtable, we bring hospitals, care organisations, mutualities, and policymakers together around shared challenges. Meaningful progress in healthcare requires shared insight, not isolated optimisation.

"We must dream of a computerless hospital, where technology doesn't force us to look at a screen, but instead liberates us to truly look at the patient again."

Prof. Dr. Frank Vermassen

CEO | UZ Gent

"We must step out of our silos and move forward together to improve care for the patients."

Karin Van Mossevelde

CEO | i-mens

"We must dare to experiment and look beyond our own borders, because we can only solve the challenges in healthcare by joining forces."

Margot Cloet

Managing Director | Zorgnet-Icuro

"Innovation happens where different sectors meet; we must build an ecosystem where technology and healthcare go hand in hand."

Wim De Waele

Associate Partner | Madison Partners

"Real transformation in healthcare is not just about technology; it's about the willingness of people and organisations to fundamentally challenge their processes and traditional ways of working."

Thomas Dubois

Partner | Madison Partners

"Technology in healthcare should be as invisible as possible, yet as present as needed. If it doesn't serve the patient or the healthcare provider, we must dare to question its effectiveness."

Tom Braekeleirs

Founder of Nexxtt.Health & Visiting Professor at UGent

"Innovation should serve the public good; it's about breaking data out of silos and building an ecosystem where information flows freely to make healthcare more human and efficient."
