- Last Thursday, we spent the afternoon at AI for Health, hosted by The Brain - AI Tech Hub, Ghent University's new AI tech hub. It brings researchers, entrepreneurs and innovators together under one roof, in healthcare and beyond. Dr. Henri Van Overmeire (PointCaré) and Dr. Alexander V. (AZ Maria Middelares) shared the stage with one message: the clinical need should shape the technology, not the other way around. Their talk wasn't just theory. It reflects how we work together: PointCaré and Maria Middelares 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙
- Straight off the plane from Boston we're bringing it all back home to Ghent🏰. On Saturday September 26, we'll be at the NAVAt Symposium at the Sint-Pieters Abbey. 👨⚕️ Dr. Henri Van Overmeire takes the stage with "Agentic AI in perioperative medicine, towards digital situational awareness." We'll also have a small stand on site, come say hello, see a glimpse of ontarget, and talk with our team about what agentic AI actually looks like in the OR and ICU. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones. Thank you Ann De
- Boston is calling. 📞 Boston holds the highest concentration of biotech and medtech investment in the world. From September 21 to 24, our founder Dr. Henri Van Overmeire joins a Belgian US Mission to Boston, built around one clear goal: connecting Belgian life sciences with the US investment ecosystem. 🤝 Together with a delegation of over 20 Belgian life sciences and healthtech companies, Henri is heading to the world’s leading life sciences hub. His agenda includes a Back Bay advisory session with argenx, a panel at Massachusetts
- This week, SEMANTiCS Conference 2026 is taking place right here in Ghent at De Bijloke. 📍 Our submission "Semantic Technologies for Situational Awareness in Critical Care Medicine" has been accepted for the practitioners track. 🎉 Robbe Claeys, our Graph Data Scientist and PhD researcher working on semantic technologies and Henri Van Overmeire will be there to talk through how we use semantic technologies to bring structure and meaning to critical care data inside ontarget. Critical care data comes from many sources,
- There's a version of Henri you don't see in a product demo. Our founder Henri Van Overmeire was recently a guest on "drie boeken," a podcast where guests share the three books that shaped them most. He talks about the physics professor who once recommended him a book on mathematics and intelligence, and the friend he read the poet Jotie T'Hooft with in high school while The Doors played in the background. It's a conversation about free thinkers, absurdism, and philosophy, and somewhere in there a tour with a reggae band. Ask
- Last week, our contribution to Anesthesiology Open was published. In this special article, we explore the transformative potential of digital twin technologies in anesthesia and critical care. What is often seen as a futuristic concept is rapidly becoming more tangible as the enabling technologies continue to mature. Many thanks to Barbara Versyck MD PhD and Ki Jinn Chin for a very enjoyable collaboration! Coinciding with the publication of our paper, NVIDIA announced the open-sourcing of its Medical Physics Simulation
- Booster picked-up! 🛣️🏎️ It's been quite the journey so far, and there's only acceleration on our horizon. 😉 This additional funding will power our growth and solution delivery into our first clinical centres! Stay tuned 😎 And a big thank you to everybody making this happen. Let's get it done together!
- Very much looking forward to sharing this beautiful stage with Alexander V.! We surely have lived through some exciting years, but the story of clinical adaptation of agentic AI has only just begun! A lot of possibilities, if done right. If you're interested to learn how we are empowering critical care teams to deliver personalized medicine from start to finish, come join us!
