Nokia is focused on transforming the dynamic between patients, doctors and the
medical community with tools focused on the prevention of chronic conditions.
Through its partnerships with some of the world's most renowned institutions in

societal health worldwide.
"To face the global health crisis of chronic diseases related to lifestyle and

focus from treatment to prevention, empowering consumers to take control of
their health."
