Long version

Health data is often locked away - spread across registries, hospital systems, research silos, applications, devices and sensors. FAQIR Institute believes it only creates value when it is findable, trustworthy and easy to use. Headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, FAQIR Institute is a European health data company that works with patients, clinicians, researchers and policymakers to turn data into something that actually works in practice. Together with the FAQIR Foundation - which leads the non-profit mission and safeguards patient-centered data principles - and the Qwenda product platform, the Institute delivers the infrastructure, standards and implementation needed to make FAIR data principles a daily reality in healthcare. FAQIR Institute was co-founded by Hans Constandt (CEO) and Filip Pattyn (CTO).
