Homed-IQ
Homed-IQ was founded by Geert Brinkers and Robert de Jonge. The Homed-IQ adventure began in 2019 when Robert was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. From that moment on, he was dependent on insulin and needed to continuously monitor his blood glucose level, which required regular blood tests. These tests required Robert to drive to another city and dedicate several hours out of the day to completing a test that required only a small quantity of blood. This experience was an eye-opener on how complex and inefficient the current medical testing system can be, motivating the creation of Homed-IQ. It appeared that there was very limited flexibility in deciding what to test for, when to test, and how to gain an understanding of the test results. Existing testing processes were time-consuming, expensive and, above all, not equally available to everyone. Homed-IQ products and services aim to change that. Together, they work to make medical tests more accessible and higher quality for all. We have designed Homed-IQ especially for people who want to have greater control of their health. In a perfect world, medical laboratory tests would be accessible to everyone, anywhere, at any given time of day. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you do- you deserve to be treated quickly and attentively. This is why we are pioneering a new type of testing service that is faster, simpler, and smarter for the user. In the future, we envision a world where essential medical tests are accessible and affordable for everyone.
