Research & data, for you

    Every patient contributes to
    tomorrow's care.

    We continuously learn from the results of thousands of patients. This allows us to guide you better and to inform you more clearly about your treatment and recovery. With us you know not only what is happening, but also what to expect.

    How it works

    From your story to your plan.

    In 4 steps we translate science into a pathway tailored to you.

    01

    We measure

    At every consultation we measure pain, mobility and function with validated scores. No gut feeling, just measurable values.

    12 factors per patient
    02

    We predict

    Our model compares you with 5,000+ similar patients and calculates your chance of success per treatment and your risk of complications.

    AI supported
    03

    We adapt

    Is your recovery deviating from the prediction? Then we intervene early. Your plan stays alive, not fixed.

    Continuously adjusted
    04

    We ask for feedback

    We actively ask about your experience. That feedback is an important source of information to continuously improve and optimise our care.

    What can you expect?

    Below you see 3 example patients from our register. Their prediction was built from hundreds of similar patients and proved strikingly accurate. Your own prediction will look unique, but the principles are the same.

    What this means

    For patients with Tom's profile, 7 out of 10 succeed with a conservative pathway. For the remaining 3, arthroscopy is eventually considered. Today we do not yet predict the success rate of that surgery itself, which remains an individual assessment.

    287comparable patients

    Your prediction is built from data of patients with a comparable profile (age, diagnosis, condition).

    This is an example based on aggregated data. We will discuss your own prediction during the consultation.

    Innovations

    Techniques we developed ourselves.

    Innovations from EHC.

    HipCloud app

    Digital guidance after surgery: exercises, progress tracking and direct feedback from the Hip Coach team.

    Prediction model

    Based on 5,000+ patient files we predict your expected recovery and adjust the pathway.

    Hip Coach concept

    A guidance model developed by EHC in which a Hip Coach forms the bridge between patient, hip specialist and physiotherapist for an optimal rehabilitation pathway.
