Do you want to drive the next digital revolution and radically improve healthcare?

The last few decades have seen area after area radically improved due to the rise of new technical innovations. Numerous industries have seized new technical opportunities and developed into more efficient and advanced versions of themselves. We are now in the starting blocks of yet another technical revolution, as health care is properly starting to take advantage of the technology that exists today, while also preparing for what will be available tomorrow. Platform24 is a leading B2B health-tech company in Europe, yet just at the beginning of our journey - a journey so exciting it won us the award “growth company of the year” at TechArena.

By combining AI and intelligent automation with deep medical knowledge, we are offering the most advanced and comprehensive platform solution in the market. Our platform is currently used by public and private healthcare in the Nordics, and soon the world as we progress with our ongoing international expansion. At Platform24 we strive to - through digitalization - improve healthcare by increasing availability and efficiency while also offering a better quality of care to the patient. By bridging the gap between physical and digital healthcare we will create “Healthcare 2.0”.
