Nokia Technologies today announced a collaboration with
HUS/Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki,
Faculty of Medicine to create innovative solutions for outpatient
care and to foster mutual research and development. The first
project under this collaboration will launch this quarter, with
Nokia Technologies and HUS working to develop remote patient
monitoring solutions. The collaboration is a first for Nokia
Technologies, reflecting the company's intent to enter the
regulated healthcare space.
"Our vision is to empower people to make good decisions about
their health by providing them and their physician with the
critical information they need, when they need it," said Cédric
Hutchings, Vice President of Digital Health at Nokia Technologies.
"I'm excited about our collaboration with HUS as it will help us
extend our span of care from everyday health and wellness devices
to clinical solutions that help improve patient/physician
interaction while informing our continued research and development
in the clinical space."
The Department of Neurology at HUS is the largest neurology
center in Finland focused on the diagnosis, treatment and
rehabilitation of diseases of the nervous system or the brain,
spinal cord, peripheral nervous system and muscles. With over
14,000 patients visiting Meilahti Hospital's Neurological
Outpatient Clinic in Helsinki every year, the collaboration will
enable input from HUS clinicians and patients to improve the
quality and effectiveness of Nokia Technologies' remote patient
monitoring solutions, all while driving meaningful patient
outcomes.
"At HUS, we see tremendous value in collaborating with
innovative companies like Nokia to help the development of
research-based knowledge into technologies that can drive more
effective, personalized care for our patients," said MD, PhD Nina
Forss, Head of Department of Neurology. "The department of
Neurology at HUS is acknowledged worldwide for providing the best
acute stroke care in the world. This new collaboration reflects our
continued commitment to excellence in research and improves the
health and care of our patients at the later stage of the treatment
chain."
