A sick leave report is often the starting point of an intensive process involving the employee, employer, occupational health and safety service, and company physician. In this initial phase, crucial information is often missing, even though this is where the most progress can be made. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in occupational health and safety services, Miranda Zwepink realized that this needed to change. With Triagen, she developed an AI platform that helps professionals be better prepared for their first meeting with an employee on sick leave.

Datakami helps AI startups build a future-proof AI product

More and more startups are developing products based on large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. While a working prototype can be built quickly these days, a scalable and reliable AI product requires much more than just a clever prompt. That’s why Datakami, based in Nijmegen, helps AI startups not only with technical challenges but, above all, with building a solid foundation. To make this knowledge more widely available, the company developed the AI Readiness Score: a free self-assessment tool that allows entrepreneurs to evaluate how future-proof their AI product is.&nbsp;

Thoughtful Oasis makes AI understandable and controllable for the public sector

Most applications of artificial intelligence are impressive, but they have one major drawback: no one can explain exactly how they arrive at an answer. For many applications, that’s not a problem. But when AI is used in decision-making regarding safety, emergency response, or government processes, transparency is essential. That’s why the Enschede-based startup Thoughtful Oasis is developing a new generation of AI that not only provides smart answers but also explains how those answers are arrived at.With this approach, the young company is now collaborating with organizations such as the North and East Gelderland Safety Region (VNOG) and the Ministry of Justice and Security, where the first applications are currently in the pilot phase.

Rijnstate Hospital Opts for Robots with Artificial Intelligence

Two gray robots stand quietly behind Bernke Papenburg’s desk. “They’re retired,” laughs the program manager at Rijnstate Robotics, who is responsible for implementing robotic solutions at Rijnstate Hospital in Arnhem. “We once used them in the pediatric ward, for play and as a distraction. It turned out that the children cried less and looked back more positively on their time in the hospital. But the robots weren’t very smart. You have to figure out everything for them: for example, which doors they’re allowed to go through and which ones they aren’t. Sometimes we’d find them in the restrooms.” Still, Papenburg can’t stop talking about robotics—especially when combined with artificial intelligence.

Xsens provides the motion data for humanoid robots

Humanoid robots that are learning to walk, lift objects, tighten screws, or even work in a restaurant. It sounds futuristic, but development is moving at lightning speed. Behind many of these robots lies technology from Enschede. Xsens, which began as a spin-off from the University of Twente, provides motion-tracking technology that converts human movements into data. This information is then used to train humanoid robots using AI.

Weerfit: AI as a Silent Force in Physical Therapy

What if you could reduce physical therapy work that normally takes hours to just minutes, without compromising on quality or personal contact? For the teams at Weerfit in Enschede and Deventer, this has become the norm. Guided by a clear vision of measurable, reproducible care, the organization develops its own technology, with AI acting as a silent accelerator in the background.
