healthcare space
21 June 2016
Espoo, Finland - 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."
Nokia Technologies completed the acquisition of Withings, a leader in the
connected health revolution, on May 31. Established in 2008, Withings has
introduced a range of award-winning products across the health spectrum
including: activity trackers (Withings Pulse and Activité); Wi-Fi scale and
health station (Body Cardio); Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor; security camera
with air quality sensors (Withings Home); and an advanced sleep system (Withings

where users can find coaching, motivation and insights to shape key aspects of
their health.
