“Imagine 2024 as the turning point in the history of healthcare. As a healthcare professional, you make an impact by adopting the basic values of the modern healthcare provider, formulated as a contemporary version of the Hippocratic Oath: “I promise that my patients can entrust me with their health. To this end, I will leverage the available technology and render healthcare information valuable. I will also treat this healthcare information confidentially and make it available to both patients and knowledge networks of colleagues.”
Gabriëlle Speijer MD IN
HIMMS Future50 International HealthIT leader 
Technology is redefining healthcare, but it must never be the goal itself. It is a massive enabler, provided that we—doctors and patients—together steer the course.
As a doctor, I commit myself heart and soul every day to learn not just from, but with every patient to improve health.
My Vision: The Modern Consultation
I believe in a modern, boundless interpretation of the medical consultation. The essence is connection: a partnership built on trust and mutual respect. This foundation creates the openness required to truly understand the full health picture.
This is where the digital reinterpretation of the Hippocratic Oath comes to life.
I am building a digital ecosystem that allows us to reclaim control over data and technology. My goal is to create real value for health through collaboration across all domains.
In this ecosystem:
1. Doctor and patient retain unconditional control over their data.
2. Integrity and trust ensure that high-quality data becomes available for the care process.
3. We securely make this data available to drive cross-domain innovations that genuinely improve health, including the development of AI.
Steering the Future Together It is time for a new equilibrium. We—those who live and breathe healthcare—must steer the development of the services and products of tomorrow. We know what truly adds value to a healthy life. We do this in close collaboration with the parties facilitating this technology, but the direction is determined by human values.
My work as a Radiation Oncologist and Founder of CatalyzIT is entirely dedicated to this mission. My international recognition as a HIMSS Future50 Clinical Leader and as a Fellow of the Royal Dutch Society for Information Professionals (KNVI) strengthens my conviction that this value-based digital ecosystem is the only way forward.
Let’s claim technology to strengthen our health.
Are you with me?
I work as a radiation oncologist at Haga Hospital. I am also involved in various initiatives that are aligned with my mission of improving quality of care through the use of digital technology.
Do you want to use technology more effectively in healthcare?
