Hospital Network

A federated European hospital network where scientific research happens without records ever leaving the site. Each institution remains in control of its data and its governance, while clinicians and researchers gain the granularity, validated quality, and cross-site depth needed to answer the clinical questions that matter.

Our Team & Mission

Founded in 2015, LynxCare has grown from an ambitious Belgian start-up into a fast-growing European scale-up with over 30 dedicated professionals. We accelerate clinical research and real-world evidence generation at leading health systems across Europe.

What began as a shared vision to unlock the full potential of healthcare data has evolved into a clear mission: to foster research and innovation by enabling hospitals and life sciences organizations to leverage high-quality clinical insights, preparing them for the future of data-driven healthcare. Through our work, we actively contribute to building the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and other European initiatives that promote secure, interoperable, and ethical use of health data (EHDEN, OHDSI).

Our multidisciplinary team — combining expertise in data science, healthcare, informatics, and artificial intelligence — works side by side with hospitals, researchers, and life sciences partners to transform how clinical data is accessed and leveraged to improve patient care and advance medical research.

Why do hospital sites choose to collaborate with LynxCare?

Collaboration enables physician-led research with direct clinical relevance; supports preparation for the European Health Data Space (EHDS) through OMOP mapping and data quality assurance; provides fair financial compensation for time invested; and offers the opportunity to contribute to scientifically rigorous, peer-reviewed publications.

How are sites selected for a real-world data study?

Sites are selected through a structured feasibility process, evaluating hospitals against criteria such as patient population size, data quality and completeness, operational readiness and scalability. Shortlisted sites undergo further assessment, and those best suited to meet the project or study needs are chosen.

Can LynxCare support multi-center studies?

Yes, our OMOP CDM-based approach and federated network architecture enable multi-center, multi-country research collaborations while maintaining data privacy and regulatory compliance.
