API connection
Dear Proton Product Team,
I am writing to strongly request an API integration or strategic partnership with Nedap, specifically for their healthcare platform Nedap ONS.
Who is Nedap?
Nedap N.V. is not just a local vendor; it is a major Dutch multinational technology company publicly listed on Euronext Amsterdam (AMS: NEDAP). They are a dominant force in the European technology sector, employing over 900 people and operating globally.
What is Nedap ONS?
'ONS' is the de facto standard Electronic Health Record (EHR/ECD) and administrative suite for long-term care in the Netherlands. It is used by the majority of organizations in:
Elderly Care (VVT)
Disability Care (GHZ)
Mental Health Care (GGZ)
The Business Case & Opportunity:
Currently, thousands of healthcare professionals use Nedap ONS daily to manage sensitive patient data. However, communicating this data externally remains a challenge.
Perfect Alignment on Privacy: Both Proton and Nedap position themselves as champions of security and privacy. An integration would be the ultimate compliant solution (GDPR/NEN 7510) for secure communication in the Dutch healthcare sector.
High Volume Enterprise Potential: The user base of Nedap ONS consists of large enterprise healthcare organizations. Facilitating a connection with Proton Mail would lower the barrier for these organizations to adopt Proton for Business on a large scale.
Technical Feasibility: Nedap maintains a modern, open API platform (Ons API), which is designed for third-party integrations.
Our Request:
We urge the Proton team to evaluate the Nedap ONS API capabilities. A validated integration would allow healthcare workers to send encrypted emails directly from their primary workspace, making Proton the preferred secure email provider for the entire Dutch healthcare industry.
Thank you for considering this strategic opportunity.
