The company focuses its efforts on developing innovative IT-solutions for medical healthcare systems worldwide. Their mission is to use the individual risk and severity profiles to find the optimal use of healthcare resources, such as medication, surgery, laser treatment, surveillance, and follow-up, to optimize the health outcome of that particular individual while at the same time optimizing the allocation of health care resources available.
