PRESS RELEASE

Main Capital has acquired a majority stake in the international software company Verklizan. Verklizan delivers an innovative, cloud-based, Connected Healthcare platform for social alarms and remote care.

Verklizan is a renowned party that has established a leading position in the telecare market in several European countries. With more than 60 employees spread across offices in the Netherlands, Germany, England, France and Spain, Verklizan serves more than 300 customers worldwide. By means of the UMO platform, developed by Verklizan, more than 1,100,000 people are currently monitored on a daily basis. Technology supported care allows these people to live at home independently for longer. Examples of customers using the UMO platform are Sensire (NL), Red Cross (GER), Centra Pulse (UK) and DoroCare ARC (SE).

Due to an aging population, pressure on healthcare expenditure, and the desire of elderly people to stay at home longer, the demand for remote care increases rapidly. Primarily, Verklizan enables its clients to centrally manage their monitoring activities by means of the UMO platform. Verklizan drives innovation through the development of new services and functionalities that continuously expand the UMO platform, such as deploying mobile health solutions, monitoring vital signs and developing supportive Mobile Apps for volunteer caregivers. It becomes increasingly important for Connected Healthcare providers to provide preventive care based on smart predictive data analysis.
Unique to Verklizan’s proposition is the open philosophy and independence of the UMO platform. More than 100 (international) healthcare partners connect a total of more than 250 products and applications on the UMO platform, thereby facilitating a wide range of integrated services.

Main Capital will actively support Verklizan in their quest to grow the company internationally. In addition, focus will be on further strengthening and expanding the product portfolio, among others through selective and complementary acquisitions.
