2. • Mextal was founded in 1937. It evolved to one of the leading Dutch
companies in design and development of ICT based monitoring and
communication systems for the institutionalised healthcare.

supplier for Philips and later on as independent designer/manufacturer/
distributor/integrator of the brand MXVieDome.
• Mextal designs both hard- and software, manufactures electronic
products, installs, maintains and provide 24/7 service on network based
systems.
• Mextal is a small (staff 25) but versatile company
3.
4. • Strength of any system must be that from institutionalised groups of
clients to the individual client can be assisted in care and cure.
• To improve quality of live and the way care and cure can be provided;
- ultimately without borders, or limitation in distance,
- at reduced cost,
- and more efficient use of staff.
• To be able to maintain at least the same level of quality at affordable
cost with the predicted decrease of the future workforce and with a
strong increase in care customers in mind.
• Any system must be fully tuneable to the request or need of the
customer, varying from a simple audio POTS solution to full duplex video
communication via (A)DSL, whether or not expandable with a number of
comfort, security or telemedicine enhancements.
