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

Is it possible to transfer tiles from the previous version to the new application?

Yes, this is possible. The latest update of the previous version includes an export functionality that allows you to migrate your data to the new version. For assistance with this process, please contact us at info@expressme.nl.

Why is the new application no longer available for free?

The previous version was indeed available for free. However, due to the lack of revenue, we were unable to maintain it adequately, which caused the application to become outdated. To ensure continuous innovation, new functionalities, and professional support, we have chosen to finance the new version through a subscription model. This revenue enables us to continuously improve the application and provide comprehensive support to a broader range of users.

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.

What are the costs of the application after the 90-day trial period?

For current pricing information, please refer to our pricing page.

Can I continue using the previous version of the application?

The previous version remains free and functional for existing users. However, it is important to note that this version will not receive any further updates. New users can no longer download the previous version through the app stores.

If you have a need for specific functionalities, we invite you to contact us at info@expressme.nl.
