"Markus has been closely following Buddy Healthcare's journey since the beginning of the company. I'm really happy he's now joining our team. With his background and experience, Markus can bring more customer and healthcare knowledge to the company," says Jussi Määttä, CEO of Buddy Healthcare.

“During my career, I have seen how hospitals are struggling with an increased number of surgeries and procedures. The number of phone calls between healthcare professionals and patients has increased a lot, and there is still plenty of manual work related to pre-and post-operative care, especially in questionnaires. With the award-winning technology from Buddy Healthcare, all patient pre- and post-operative communication and information can be fully automated. Patient-reported outcomes (PROM) and other questionnaires can be collected digitally. With this system, hospitals can save a significant amount of time and money, and healthcare professionals can focus on cases which need more attention. This is the reason why I am so interested in this technology and joining Buddy Healthcare, everybody wins, hospitals and patients," says Markus Lind.

Please welcome Markus to our team! You can meet him and Buddy Healthcare at Medica 2017 (Hall 15 / E55) and Operative Days 15-17.11 in Helsinki. Feel free to contact us!
