Embloom was founded in 2010 in collaboration with various general practitioners and mental health professionals. Initially, we focused on the development of an internet application for diagnostics and effect measurement. At the end of 2011, the Dutch Society of Psychiatry voted the platform the best test platform in the Netherlands thanks to its user-friendliness, functionality and price.
Over the years, the platform has grown with hundreds of questionnaires, exercises, modules and other e-health items. The number of users also grew and Embloom is now one of the most used e-health platforms in the Netherlands. Besides being active within the mental health care and general practitioner care, we expanded our working area with specialist medical care and paramedical care. We opened an office in Germany in 2016, and a few years later, Embloom was chosen to be the e-health partner for one of the largest German innovation projects in the field of e-mental health.
Quality is our top priority. We work with publishers, healthcare providers, patients and universities to develop, research and improve our e-health items. We are ISO 27001 certified and the platform has CE marking. In 2017, The Journal of mHealth recognized us as being one of the leading HealthTech Innovators. In 2021, our triage was appointed as Good Practice by the Dutch healthcare insurer VGZ.
