How Two Brothers Are Disrupting A €440 Billion Industry With AI-Powered Unified Medicine
What happens when a physician-engineer and a bioscience engineer join forces to disrupt a centuries-old industry? Meet Louis and Charles Declerck, the minds behind erudite.health. Their mission: a radical shift from treating symptoms to a data-driven, holistic approach called ‘Unified Medicine.’
Treating the root, not just the result
According to Louis Declerck (CEO), the current healthcare economy is fundamentally broken. While traditional “Big Pharma” generates billions by managing chronic diseases, the root causes of illness are often ignored. With erudite.health, the Declerck brothers are building a bridge between nature, medicine, and technology.
More than just a supplement company
While many recognize erudite.health through established brands like Trenker, Nutriphyt, and Alline, the brothers view these as just the foundation. “Everyone thinks we’re a supplement company,” Louis says. “We’re not. We’re building the infrastructure for Unified Medicine at scale.”
The company operates on three sophisticated pillars:
-
erudite spectrum: A proprietary generative AI platform trained on immune-related disease pathways to help doctors deliver personalized care.
-
erudite.health: The consumer-facing layer of evidence-based probiotics and medical nutrition, sold through a network of 4,000+ pharmacies.
-
erudite therapeutics: A drug development arm focused on immune system modulation.
A legacy over a "quick exit"
In an era of tech startups looking for a fast payout, the Declercks are playing the long game. Having built a €36 million revenue business in just three years, they aren’t looking for an exit strategy.
By owning their own production facilities in Belgium and maintaining direct relationships with pharmacists, they ensure every product is traceable and scientifically defensible. As Charles (COO) notes, their bond as brothers allows them to debate fiercely and move faster than any corporate hierarchy.
Louis Declerck“Real progress in healthcare occurs when medicine, nature, and technology work together not as silos, but as one intelligent, systemic whole.”
The 2030 vision
By 2030, the brothers aim for erudite.health to be the default platform for Unified Medicine in Europe. They are betting on the idea that prevention is not just better for the patient, but can be a profitable, sustainable business model that eventually “rewrites the rules” of the pharmaceutical world.
As Louis confidently puts it: “People think we’re crazy… Let them think that. We’ll be too far ahead by the time they realize what we’re building.”
