Best AI for occupational health services & absence management
Occupational physicians, sickness absence case managers, occupational experts and reintegration coaches write reports, advice and assessments for every consultation and every case, in line with the Dutch Gatekeeper Improvement Act (Wet verbetering poortwachter) and UWV requirements. That takes a lot of time, while there is a shortage of occupational physicians. Occupational health services are therefore testing AI that listens in on consultations and produces a draft report; at occupational health service Perspectief this saved roughly 15 minutes per consultation. Absence management systems are getting AI assistants that summarise case files and prepare consultations, and for reintegration there are tools that turn conversations into UWV reports. The occupational physician or professional still exercises their own judgement: AI produces a draft, not advice on fitness for work.

Watch out in this field
Occupational health and absence data are health data and fall under medical confidentiality. The employer must not see a diagnosis, not even through an AI summary: keep medical and non-medical information strictly separated. Never use a free chatbot for consultations or case files. Sign a data processing agreement (DPA), require processing within the EU, no training on your data, and NEN 7510/ISO 27001, and ask which language models and sub-processors sit behind the service. Ask the employee for consent before any recording. Do not let AI independently assess an individual employee's fitness for work or absence risk: AI systems that influence decisions about employees can be high-risk under the EU AI Act. Check every report before it goes into the file.

Frequently asked questions
Related professions
What is the best AI for occupational health & sickness absence?
That depends on your requirements. Field-specific solutions such as Juvoly (Tandem Health) are built for occupational health & absence management; general assistants such as Claude are more broadly usable and cheaper to get started with. At the top of this page are our picks.
What is the difference between a 'field-specific tool' and a 'general assistant'?
A general assistant (such as ChatGPT or Claude) is a clever all-rounder you converse with yourself. A field-specific tool is a ready-made product for occupational health & sickness absence, often built on top of such an assistant, with its own domain knowledge, integrations and GDPR arrangements. The 'Quality' column shows which model a tool runs on.
May I use confidential data?
Occupational health and absence data are health data and fall under medical confidentiality. The employer must not see a diagnosis, not even through an AI summary: keep medical and non-medical information strictly separated. Never use a free chatbot for consultations or case files. Sign a data processing agreement (DPA), require processing within the EU, no training on your data, and NEN 7510/ISO 27001, and ask which language models and sub-processors sit behind the service. Ask the employee for consent before any recording. Do not let AI independently assess an individual employee's fitness for work or absence risk: AI systems that influence decisions about employees can be high-risk under the EU AI Act. Check every report before it goes into the file.
What does the GDPR profile mean?
Our summary of what the provider publishes about data protection: EU hosting, no training on your data, certifications and provenance. 'Strong' = several safeguards published; 'Unknown' = the provider shares little, so ask them. It is a tool, not legal advice.
