We are excited about the impact digital technologies will have on the patient journey and are particularly enthusiastic to help take the digital therapeutic approach in oncology out of the lab and onto the market where the benefits of this high frequency monitoring can be expected to bring real outcomes improvement.

We have studied the Finnish digital health sector thoroughly and found it extremely interesting from an investor's point of view. The Kaiku Health team impressed us with its strong technological know-how, for instance in the use of artificial intelligence. Kaiku Health has strong international customer references and a broad user-base for a young health-tech company.
