The company is building a Product Delivery team in
Lisbon to focus on digital
health
LONDON, March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ustwo, the
global digital product and service studio, is expanding further in
Europe with a Product Delivery
team in Lisbon. The company is
recruiting designers and developers who will be based in
Lisbon and work closely with the
London team, known for its work in
healthcare, digital transformation, and automotive / mobility.
ustwo builds digital products and experiences that people love,
and helps organizations discover and elevate their own digital
cultures and capabilities. Since ustwo's founding in 2004 the
company's purpose has been to inspire and unleash the collective
genius of its people, its clients, and its partners.
The ustwo Lisbon team will
cultivate new rigor and understanding for making and improving
digital health experiences. Their first client is Fresenius Medical
Care, the world's leading provider of products and services for
people with chronic kidney failure. Through its network of more
than 3,900 dialysis clinics, Fresenius Medical Care provides
dialysis treatments for more than 330,000 patients around the
globe.
"We're thrilled for this opportunity to deepen our collaboration
with Fresenius Medical Care," said Carsten
Wierwille, CEO of ustwo Studios. "Portugal has world-class craft, visual art,
and architecture, as well as extremely talented designers and
developers who want to work in a global context. We're excited to
bring ustwo culture and ways of working to the burgeoning digital
community in Portugal, and to
build a team that will make a meaningful impact on global
healthcare challenges."
ustwo is passionate about the potential of digital technology to
activate patient engagement in their own health and wellness.
Devices that are increasingly common in consumers' lives -- from
smartphones to wearables to AI assistants -- can be the touchpoints
for new digital experiences that give patients greater
understanding of their health. These digital patient experiences
can also yield timely and relevant insights that empower clinicians
to provide high-quality care both inside and outside the
clinic.
ustwo's health practice works in a breadth of areas from kidney
disease to mental health, from allergy management to sleep devices.
We partner with clients to rapidly find product-market fit and
validate new use cases, and we pay particular attention to people
and team dynamics as the overlooked dimension in Agile and software
development. Integrating with clients across disciplines, roles,
and backgrounds, our mission is to enable every member of this
combined team to be both a critical thinker and a pragmatic doer --
unlocking the true potential of individuals and teams.
