About
Who we are
DNA Poli is a digital healthcare initiative developed by clinical professionals from multiple academic hospitals in the Netherlands. We build and operate a secure online platform that supports patients with hereditary genetic conditions and their families.
Our mission
Hereditary genetic conditions affect entire families. Too often, family members of a diagnosed patient lack timely access to information, testing, and specialist advice.
DNA Poli closes that gap. Our platform gives family members a clear path: understand their risk, connect with a genetic counsellor, and request a DNA test — all through a single, secure digital environment.
