Terveystalo Press Release 1 November 2022

With an agreement dated October 25, 2022, Terveystalo has acquired Somia Reality Oy that produces chat and video connection solutions with Ninchat brand for e.g. remote healthcare services.

Terveystalo has been cooperating with Ninchat since 2016. With the coronavirus pandemic, remote service solutions became a key for Terveystalo to provide healthcare services to its wide customer base independently of time and place all around Finland.

"For years, we have been building additional services on top of Ninchat's technology platform such as assessment of treatment need and messaging service for non-urgent needs. With the acquisition of Ninchat, we will have access to a strong, secure, and leading technology platform for digital health, and we will be able to combine all Terveystalo's services more seamlessly, from booking to attending our professionals' appointments. With this acquisition, we are also taking the next step towards the SaaS world in our digital business. For our customers, this will bring Finland's leading remote healthcare services all in one," says Kati Sulin, SVP, Digital Business at Terveystalo.  

"This acquisition strengthens our position as the primary partner for remote and digital services in the future wellbeing service counties in Finland. Ninchat's technology is already at the core of Terveystalo's digital platform, designed for the public sector. As a result of the transaction, our platform solutions are already in use in the areas of the future wellbeing service counties,” Sulin continues.

"Ninchat has systematically invested in the development of the digital healthcare service platform and customer relationships. This acquisition enables new kinds of cooperation models in the digital service offering for the public and private sectors. Our team is very much looking forward to the new, closer cooperation,” says Ville Mujunen, CEO of Somia Reality Oy.

All persons employed by Somia Reality Oy will transfer to Terveystalo as former employees.
