Mikkel Bardram, CEO of EG, says, "The demand for treatment of both mental and physical health challenges are on the rise across all Nordic countries. Especially, the demand for mental care often outpaces available resources. CheckWare's innovative approach to digitization and automation of mental and physical healthcare processes has proven to both free up resources and improve the quality of the patient care and treatment."

 

He adds, "Healthcare sectors worldwide need innovative approaches to optimize patient engagement, and remote patient treatment is becoming increasingly efficient. The acquisition of CheckWare provides us with a strong and scalable software platform to cover both mental and physical treatment. CheckWare can help the healthcare sector address the lack of resources and the changing demographics by making both mental and physical treatment more efficient."
