What connecting healthcare means.
CaTe combines medical expertise and technology
to bring essential care into each person's daily life
in a more natural, manageable way.
Healthcare and patients.
Healthcare and daily life.
Today's care and tomorrow's health.
So that effective care reaches the daily lives
of the people who need it.
CaTe addresses the challenges between healthcare and patients,
exploring ways to connect essential care with daily life.
Vision
Connecting health and happiness to tomorrow.
CaTe aims to bring necessary care to the people who need it.
We also aim to create ways to sustain that care in daily life and support each person's everyday well-being.
Beyond treating disease, we seek to support life after treatment, so people can live more healthily and in their own way.
We want healthcare to be more accessible and easier to continue for patients and healthcare professionals alike.
Combining medical expertise and technology,
CaTe explores ways to support health and happiness.
That commitment to health and happiness also extends to everyone at CaTe.
Caring for ourselves and being able to contribute with health and a positive outlook
are values we hold dear.
Background
Care continues into life after discharge.
Treatment for heart disease does not end at discharge.
Even after leaving hospital, many patients are readmitted, and some lose their lives.
Continuing exercise, dietary care and medication in everyday life after discharge
is not easy for patients or healthcare teams.
The burden of repeated hospital visits.
The difficulty of maintaining care at home.
Limited time for healthcare professionals to provide ongoing support.
How can essential care continue in daily life after discharge?
This is the challenge CaTe addresses.
Approach
Combining medical expertise and technology
to make ongoing care possible.
Connecting care with everyday life after discharge
requires more than medical expertise or technology alone.
It takes expertise grounded in clinical practice,
an understanding of patients' lives,
and the technical skills to build products people can keep using.
At CaTe, medical and technology specialists work on the same challenges,
creating products and content that are easy to use
for both healthcare teams and patients.
IoT, AI, apps, data and healthcare content.
We combine these as tools to connect healthcare professionals and patients
and support care in life after discharge.
Because these challenges have no immediate answers,
we tackle them step by step, forming hypotheses, testing and learning.
Culture
Care for yourself.
Combine your strengths with others.
To keep working on difficult challenges,
we need to stay healthy and be able to contribute with a positive outlook.
CaTe strives to be an organization where people care for themselves,
combine their strengths and face questions without ready answers together.
Medical expertise, scientific evidence, regulations, clinical operations,
patients' lives and how we work as a team all matter.
Many challenges have no immediate answers.
That is why we value consulting one another,
asking questions and continuing to learn, rather than carrying everything alone.
Believe in your own potential.
Believe in your teammates' potential.
Bring together different areas of expertise and perspectives
to face difficult challenges with integrity.
That is what teamwork means at CaTe.
