Hi Matthjis, thanks for your questions!

The EU's data sovereignty laws present a special set of restrictions, and specific countries like the Netherlands add more. But challenging problems can be valuable problems to solve, so yes, the Dutch are on our list.

At the moment, however, our entire focus is on HIPAA compliance. I tell people this: I am a lawyer, but I am not your lawyer and this is not legal advice. You would certainly want to consult a US attorney, and perhaps form a US subsidiary, but it is possible for a foreign organization to do business in healthcare in the United States. The example at the front of my mind is Royal Phillips and their new partnership with Salesforce[0].

Feel free to email me if you'd like to chat more!
