In May of 2010, VitalHealth Software signed an agreement with the Alzheimer in Utrecht (NL), in order to realize the Digital Alzheimer Center.

Prof. Dr. Ph. Scheltens, CEO of the Alzheimer Center
Says Prof. Dr. Ph. Scheltens, CEO of the Alzheimer Center, about the choice for VitalHealth: Many of our patients do not live close to our facility, so they want to be able to contact us and stay in touch via electronic means. The Digital Alzheimer Center enables this and further strengthens our national position as the main center of expertise for dementia for younger patients. As the leading center we chose the leading software technology provider for this field, which is VitalHealth. The Digital Alzheimer Center is developed as a collaboration between VitalHealth and ourselves and will be the first of its kind. We're expecting strong interest for the final solution from both patients and care providers."

What is the Digital Alzheimer Center?
The purpose of the Digital Alzheimer Center is to provide patients secure online access to the Alzheimer Center, enabling them to make a virtual visit before actually visiting the center. The digital center also enables secure communication between patient and providers, including online education concerning their condition, question and answer mechanisms via web consults, and community based forums to communicate with fellow patients.

Part of subsidized on-line care innovations
The Digital Alzheimer Center is part of a set of government subsidized on-line care innovations, for which the Alzheimer Center has received a 2 million Euro grant from the "Innovatiefonds Zorgverzekers" fund.

The partnership between the Alzheimer Center and VitalHealth Software is related to the renewed Alzheimer Center that will be festively opened on September 28, 2010, at which time the Digital Alzheimer Center will be presented for the first time.

For the realisation of the Digital Alzheimercenter VitalHealth is working together with Ketting Partner b.v. (www.ketting.nl) in regard of design and information for patients.
