NeLL is a joint undertaking by e-health companies, research organizations, and several reimbursement companies, led by the eponymous Nationaal eHealth Living Lab, a spin-off of the Leiden University Medical Center. The goal of the project is to speed the development, validation, and reimbursement of promising e-health solutions through the creation of best practices distilled from the collective expertise of the project partners and expert groups.

The above will result in the creation of new models for the use of big data by existing and new e-health solutions, the validation of e-health solutions using new research methods to replace the current standard of randomized controlled trials which take a long time to yield results and are not always suited to technology, and the creation of structural reimbursement models that create room for technology by focusing on quantifiable output measures.
