Municipalities in Finland strengthen remote social and health services: Tiera and VideoVisit to cooperate

Kuntien Tiera and Finnish leading remote care professional, VideoVisit Oy, have signed a cooperation agreement. From the beginning of 2022, VideoVisit Oy will be partnering with Tiera’s Elli remote services. The service that is designed to be used by Finnish welfare areas is an easy to use SaaS that enables public service providers to deliver remote services easily. Cooperation with Kuntien Tiera supports the availability of remote services in welfare areas and safe living at home.

Remote services enable for example, doctor’s appointments via chat or video connection, professionals’ remote consultations and virtual home care visits. Remote care also involves the client, for example taking medicine can be monitored via video connection.
