About Clearity Care

Bernadette de Bakker
Leads medical strategy, diagnostics and research. Turns science into answers for parents.
I’m Bernadette, an associate professor at Amsterdam UMC and a mother of four healthy children. For twenty years I have studied how babies develop before birth, using advanced 3D imaging, and I founded the Dutch Fetal Biobank. I have also experienced three miscarriages. As a medical doctor and as a mother, I know how hard it is to lose a pregnancy without knowing why. With Clearity Care, I want every family to get the answers they deserve.

Madeleine de Bakker
Drives strategy, vision, growth and partnerships. Connects people, opportunities and execution.
I’m Madeleine, a mother of three boys after a long fertility process. I’ve helped scale-ups grow and worked as a strategist in the technology sector. My strength is connecting people and building partnerships. I’m driven to use my experience to make a difficult time a little easier for others. I want people to feel heard, supported and less alone.
