Healthcare
Healthcare runs on trust. Every doctor, nurse, or specialist who joins a new clinic must prove their qualifications again — BIG registration, diplomas, accreditations. Credenco turns that paperwork into a single, instantly verifiable digital credential.
The Opportunity
Healthcare organisations depend on fast, reliable proof of who is qualified to care for patients. Today that proof is scattered across paper certificates, PDF scans, and manual checks with registries like the BIG-register or KNMG.
The sector needs one thing: a way to confirm a professional's qualifications in seconds, without compromising privacy or compliance. That is exactly what verifiable credentials deliver.
Why Credenco
Credenco connects the bodies that issue professional credentials with the care organisations that verify them.
Credentials are issued once and stored safely in a Business Wallet. Any hospital or clinic can then verify them instantly — no phone calls, no paper, no doubt.

A Story from Professional Onboarding
A hospital network hires a cardiovascular specialist from another EU country. The old way: HR requests certified translations, contacts the KNMG, checks the BIG register, and screens for sanctions. The process takes two to four weeks and costs around €800 per hire.
With Credenco, the specialist already carries their BIG registration, diploma, and specialist title as verifiable credentials in a Business Wallet. HR sends a request. The specialist approves it in their wallet. In under three seconds, HR has cryptographic proof — and the specialist can start the same week.
