About
NovaCair was founded in 2017 by Rik Bijl, an anesthesiologist at Amsterdam UMC. The team's goal is to make a significant contribution to the efficiency and quality of care in hospitals and independent treatment centers.
We develop and validate medical questionnaires with algorithms that safely screen patients. By saving time, healthcare providers have more time left for complex care.
Patient-friendly at the right time and in the right place.
The origins of NovaCair
How things can be done differently
During the 2023 NVAM congress, our founder and CEO, Rik Bijl, Anesthesiologist at Amsterdam UMC, explains how NovaCair was founded and the ideology behind our work.
The current setup of the preoperative care process is not future-proof. This process can—and perhaps must—be done differently.
The development of the products
With expertise from healthcare
Software should support, not lead. This often goes wrong. Our medical professionals understand the care process and practical challenges, and our engineers tailor the software accordingly.
