Nettailor

No complicated installation procedures


Nettailor is fully web-based and can, therefore, be used and managed online. There is no special software required to work with Nettailor. A PC with an internet connection and a web browser such as IE 5.5 to 7.0 or a Mac with Firefox 1.3 to 2.0 is sufficient. Nettailor technology is currently used in large-scale national studies by the University of Maastricht and the Municipal Health Services of both Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
