Customer Stories
Cerenion tested the user interface of its C‑Trend® software at OYS TestLab with intensive care and neurophysiology nurses.
“We gained valuable insights for further development in a real environment. This service offers a significant competitive advantage for companies in the Oulu region,” comments Timo Koskela.
The product was awarded the OuluHealth Labs Tested label as recognition of the testing process.
Ankerias conducted a survey on its analytics tool for chronic pain management. Expert patients helped the company better understand patient needs and improve the application’s design.
“Their perspective was extremely important so that we can design something patients truly want to use,” says CEO Hanna Viisanen-Kuopila.
