Strategic Partnership Announcement
Cuviva and smartQare forge strategic partnership to transform hospital-to-home care
Stockholm / Eindhoven — February 11, 2025
In response to growing pressure on healthcare systems worldwide, Cuviva AB and smartQare BV today announced a strategic partnership aimed at transforming how patients are monitored and cared for at home, particularly in the critical period following hospital discharge.
By combining smartQare's continuous, wearable monitoring technology with Cuviva's remote care coordination platform, the partners are creating an integrated hospital-to-home care ecosystem. Both solutions are medical-grade, CE-marked under MDR Class IIa, and clinically validated.
The collaboration will initially focus on chronically ill, elderly, and high-risk patients, empowering clinicians to deliver safe, proactive, and cost-effective care beyond hospital walls.
“With this partnership, we are closing the gap between hospital and home,” said Henrik Cederqvist, CEO of Cuviva. “By leveraging smartQare's high-quality data, we integrate continuous health insights into everyday clinical workflows so patients can recover safely at home while care teams can intervene earlier. This is not only about efficiency - it’s about compassion, dignity, and better outcomes.”
Vision with Impact
The partnership is driven by a shared mission to enable early discharge and safe recovery at home; continuously monitor high-risk patients using real-time data, reduce hospital readmissions and healthcare costs, support chronic disease management and elderly care at scale, and improve care coordination across silos - from hospitals to home-care teams.
“We are creating a care model where technology works quietly in the background, so people can be cared for in the foreground,” said Walter van Kuijen, CEO of smartQare. “Together with Cuviva, we are designing a future where every patient gets the right attention at the right moment - anywhere, always.”
Immediate Next Steps
The partnership is already in motion, with a phased rollout plan focused on rapid deployment and measurable outcomes. Customer projects are being launched both in and outside Europe, focusing on COPD, cardiac, diabetic, and geriatric care. Joint co-creation projects are underway to validate and refine the integrated solution, with AI-powered predictive alerts to be introduced in later stages to proactively manage patient deterioration.
The joint offering will be available to hospitals, home-care providers, and insurers, with a subscription-based model with reimbursement integration to support scalable adoption.
