Oulu Health Labs

Connected health, Specialized healthcare and Private 5G network connectivity

Our expertise lies in bridging the gap between innovative health technology and real-world clinical application. Our core competences include:

Authentic Clinical Co-Creation: We provide direct access to healthcare professionals, workflows, and patients across both specialized medical care (Oulu University Hospital) and primary care/social services. This ensures solutions are rigorously tested in genuine environments.

Advanced Technological Infrastructure: We are pioneers in integrating next-generation connectivity into public healthcare. We offer capabilities for testing edge-computing and high-reliability applications, supported by our award-winning private 5G network.

Artificial Intelligence Integration: Supported by a dedicated AI Competence Center, we possess deep expertise in validating and implementing AI-driven solutions and automated service models that optimize healthcare delivery.

Our primary operational base and testing environment covers the Wellbeing Services County of North Ostrobothnia in Northern Finland, serving a diverse population of approximately 415,000 residents across both urban and rural settings.

However, our reach extends far beyond our regional borders. As a key innovation hub in Finland and a partner within the Nordic Proof network, the solutions validated at OuluHealth Labs are designed to scale seamlessly across the Finnish national healthcare system, the broader Nordic region, and international markets.
