Test and develop with us

Our mobile wellness and health technology equipment includes solutions to support housing and everyday life, rehabilitation and recreational activities, automation of self-measurements and medication, sleep monitoring and support, remote healthcare and virtual communication solutions, and care work load relief. We have already been testing these with social and healthcare professionals and customers e.g. in assisted living and home care, rehabilitation, recreational activity for seniors and people with disabilities, mental health care, maternity and child health clinic, hospital and health care centers. The experiments have brought knowledge of the suitability of technology through practice and the opportunity to use new innovations to promote one’s health. The devices found useful in practice have been purchased for use after the trials.

The new devices and softwares available for trying out vary. Please contact us if you are interested in trying new technology with us!
