Nexuzhealth and Cavell join forces. Less admin, more patient contact

Ghent, Friday 8 May 2026 – Data-driven care that keeps people at its centre, that is what both Nexuzhealth and Cavell are working towards. Today, we are turning that ambition into reality.

Healthcare is drowning in administration

Nexuzhealth supports more than 60% of Flemish hospitals today with an integrated care platform that connects healthcare professionals, healthcare institutions and patients. Their mission? Healthy people in a healthy society, with technology that strengthens and supports care.

At the same time, administrative burden remains a major challenge in the healthcare sector. Healthcare professionals still spend a significant portion of their time on reporting and registration, which can come at the expense of direct contact with the patient.

That had to change.

A partnership that has been running for nearly a year

Almost a year ago, Nexuzhealth strengthened its commitment to supporting healthcare professionals through innovative, integrated applications. As part of this, a collaboration was started with Cavell, among others. Cavell is an AI assistant that listens during consultations and automatically generates reports & registers medical data. Through this partnership, it has now been directly integrated into Nexuzhealth’s Clinical Workstation (KWS).

“The future of care lies in smart, integrated support for healthcare professionals. As Nexuzhealth, we are building a platform where innovative technologies come together and reinforce each other. By collaborating with partners like Cavell and integrating their solutions into the central electronic patient record (KWS), we ensure that innovation does not happen alongside, but inside daily care practice.”

— Maarten De Gruyter, Director Nexuzhealth Hospital

In practice, it works like this: the doctor launches Cavell within the record module in the central electronic patient record (KWS) and has the conversation with the patient. After the consultation, a fully structured report is ready in Nexuzhealth’s central electronic patient record, without the doctor having to type a single letter. After a quick check by the healthcare professional, the report is ready for validation.

The first pilot tests in hospitals show clear added value.

The first pilot tests at UZ Leuven and AZ Oostende show what AI-driven voice registration can mean for daily practice. Doctors spend less time on administration and more time with the patient. At the same time, the quality of medical reporting improves, which benefits continuity of care. Test users confirm that impact: the first results score high on care quality, data quality and work comfort.

But numbers do not tell the whole story. The healthcare professionals do that themselves.

What healthcare professionals say

“The report is better, the consultation is better, I think everything is better.”

— Professor of rehabilitation medicine, UZ Leuven

“The quality of the consultation with patients I see for the first time is really much better. You look at them instead of at the screen.”

— Professor of paediatrics, UZ Leuven

“Very user-friendly and a decrease in administrative workload.”

— Psychologist, AZ Oostende

“Good rendering in Dutch of consultations conducted in French. Even with very West-Flemish patients, a very good report comes out.”

— Dermatologist, AZ Oostende

“Consultation is finished one minute after ending.”

— Thoracic surgeon, UZ Leuven

“My productivity is increasing, my workload and especially stress are decreasing. I also have the impression that the quality of care for my patients is improving.”

— Dr De Soete, medical oncologist, AZ Oostende

Notably: for many doctors, the greatest added value is not even in the time saved, but in the quality of the conversation. More eye contact, fewer interruptions, a structured consultation, and yet a better report.

The integrated solution brings added value not only for doctors, but for all healthcare professionals in a hospital.

“With AZ Oostende, through our innovation cell ‘HiTide’, we are fully committing to artificial intelligence. The collaboration with Cavell and Nexuzhealth fits within our vision of reducing screen time for healthcare providers and focusing on more direct patient contact. Not only the doctors, but also the nurses and paramedics who use the innovative software, are very enthusiastic about the direct impact Cavell has on their work.”

— Brecht Dekeyser, Director Data & IT at AZ Oostende

Ready for rollout

Over the past months, Cavell has gone through a careful trajectory with Nexuzhealth. What started as a pilot project with the web version of Cavell with doctors at AZ Oostende grew, in the course of 2025, into a fully-fledged technical integration directly inside the central EHR, the Clinical Workstation (KWS). After a successful demo at Nexuzhealth’s annual customer event, a proof of concept of the full KWS integration, a pilot with the integrated version started in early 2026 with test users. On 21 May 2026, the official launch event will follow.

From June 2026, the integration with Cavell will become available to hospitals within the Nexuzhealth network. Institutions can decide for themselves whether to deploy this AI support, depending on their needs and operations. That means: thousands of specialists and nurses across Flanders will get access to AI-driven voice registration, seamlessly integrated into the system they work in every day.

Focus on care, not on paperwork

“We built Cavell from a simple conviction: technology must strengthen care, not complicate it. The fact that doctors tell us they enjoy their work again, that is exactly our driving force, because this benefits everyone.”

— Louis Verdonckt, Co-Founder Cavell
