A Word from the CEO

 

2018 got off to a flying start! January was a very intense month for us with many exhibitions. It’s always great to start out the new year by meeting our customers - both old and new. These meetings resulted for instance in a new agreement with Hörby municipality in Skåne who decided to invest in our new product Giraff. They are really eager to get going with their work to implement welfare technology and thereby improve the quality of life for the municipality’s inhabitants. We have had training-courses together with the staff as well as informational meetings with the municipality. The Giraffs are now ready to be introduced. Very exciting!

The media reporting in North America has continued to be intensive, both in the US and in Canada. The Canadian market is very interesting to Camanio Care on an international level. The Canadian and the Swedish health-care systems have several similarities by sharing the joint vision of offering public health care to all citizens. However, Canada out-perform most countries in terms of costs, and they invest as much as 11,5% of their BNP in health care. Canada and Sweden are facing the same challenge of an ageing population, and increasing costs within health care. Many of the Swedish solutions are therefore of great interest since our new technology, services and products can increase the efficiency and productivity, and at the same time decrease costs related to work and the re-registration of patients. Our new distributor in Ontario has been very active and several stories on BikeAround have been seen in Canadian media, both on national TV and in newspapers and on the radio.

During the first quarter of the year, Camanio participated in the Arab Health exhibition in Dubai. It is a very interesting exhibition which gathers more or less all actors within the area of health care. The Middle East is bubbling with energy, and there is a great interest for new innovative solutions within health care. We work hard to pursue all the contacts we established during the Arab Health.

In the middle of April, The State Intellectual Property Office in China informed that they have granted patent for the assistive eating device Bestic, which we are very pleased for. It feels safe to have the patent in order when we continue our work on the Chinese market.

At the end of March, we took an important step forward on our path towards increased growth. As an answer to Camanio Care’s long-term ambition to becoming a leading actor within welfare technology, the company has signed a Letter of Intent in order to acquire the company VITAL Integration. Together, VITAL Integration and Camanio Care AB have an opportunity to establish a central position on the growing market for Internet of Things (IoT) within digital care and health care. We look forward to completing this business deal and start working with municipal procurements within the area of digital care.

The whole team is also very happy and proud to have been awarded the prestigious prize Rising Star Award by Swecare! The motivation for the award was ”Camanio Care gives an excellent example of the strength of Swedish innovation and has all the possibilities of becoming a future success of Swedish export”! The prize was awarded in the presence of H M Queen Silvia. Read our press message here.

Sweden should be a great country in which to grow old. This is stated by the government who invest 350 MSEK in their spring budget, appropriated for new welfare technology for elderly during the current year, 2018! This is a fantastic initiative which can create improved opportunities for the municipalities to start working with implementation – and Camanio Care will be prepared with our full support!
