Who are we?

Express Me was founded by Niek and Rick, two driven software developers with a passion for innovative communication technology. What began in 2016 as an award-winning concept during the ProjectB challenge has grown into a leading platform in the digital healthcare market. In 2024, we completely renewed Express Me by combining our expertise in software development from startups and large organizations with practical knowledge from speech therapists. Through intensive collaboration with healthcare professionals, we create solutions that truly work in practice.

Our mission

Supporting people with communication.

This mission guides all our activities. We develop technology that gives people with communication difficulties back their freedom of communication and provides healthcare professionals with practice-oriented tools.

Your story, your voice

What sets us apart is our focus on personal communication. We don't offer a standard solution, but an adaptive platform that responds to individual needs. For us, technology serves human connection. We're not just building a product, but creating a community where users, loved ones, and healthcare professionals directly contribute to development. Every update is carefully tested by the people who use Express Me daily.

Feedback is always welcome - together we make Express Me even better.
Kind regards,
- Niek and Rick

Frequently asked questions

What does the free healthcare provider account include?

The healthcare provider account is a free account with unlimited access, designed specifically for healthcare professionals such as speech therapists. With this account, you can easily demonstrate and introduce the app to clients without having to create a separate account for each client.

How do I request a free healthcare provider account?

The process is simple: first, create an Express Me account using your work email. This automatically starts a free 90-day trial. Then send an email to info@expressme.nl with the email address you registered with. We will then convert your account to a free healthcare provider account with unlimited access. There are no costs or obligations involved.

What happens after the free 90-day trial period ends?

After the trial period ends, access stops automatically. No payment information is required upfront, so there are no obligations. Only if you wish to continue after the trial do you choose a subscription and enter your payment details. For current pricing, please visit our pricing page.

How can I pay with iDEAL or Bancontact?

In addition to payment via the App Store or Google Play, you can also pay through our platform. Go to platform.expressme.nl and log in with the same account you use in the app. Select your organization by clicking the arrows on the right side. Then click "Start subscription" and choose your preferred payment method, such as iDEAL or Bancontact.

Are the costs reimbursed by health insurance providers?

Currently, the application is not yet reimbursed by health insurance providers. However, we plan to take steps in the future to make reimbursement through health insurance possible. This is included in our long-term roadmap for the application's further development.

Will it be possible to add specific functionalities to the application in the future?

If you have a need for specific functionalities, we invite you to contact us at info@expressme.nl. We are actively working on the continued development of the application, and your feedback helps us allocate our development time as efficiently as possible for functionalities that best match your needs.
