Software industry company Atostek has appointed Matti Eskola, the Innovation Director of the Wellbeing Services County of Pirkanmaa, to lead the development of customer value for the social and healthcare business area. Eskola will begin his new position at the beginning of August with the title Head of Healthcare Innovations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Atostek’s CEO Mika Torhola<\/strong>, Eskola’s job description will involve solving high-level healthcare problems and pain points with digital services.<\/p>\n

“Atostek’s ERA product family is widely used in Finland for processing social and health care customer information. Now we have grown to the point where we are moving from technical benefit production to solving healthcare problems. Eskola has strong experience and vision of the need for digital services in the social and healthcare sector,” says Torhola.<\/p>\n

“With Matti’s help, our technical expertise originating from the private sector will also have societal impact on the public sector,” adds Atostek’s Business Director Miika Parvio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Career at the interface of public and private healthcare services<\/h2>\n

Eskola has held several leadership positions at the interface of public and private healthcare services. Prior to his duties as the Innovation Director of the Wellbeing Services County of Pirkanmaa, Eskola served as the CEO of Tays Development Company, which is a joint enterprise of the welfare regions of Pirkanmaa, South Ostrobothnia, and Kanta-H\u00e4me, as the Innovation Director of the Pirkanmaa Hospital District (PSHP), and as the CEO of FinnMedi Oy. Eskola describes continuous improvement in healthcare as a matter of personal inspiration.<\/p>\n

“I prefer to speak of a ‘technosystem’ rather than an ecosystem. Healthcare can operate in a more customer-focused manner with targeted services while simultaneously responding to the ever-increasing pressure for cost-effectiveness. Digital services play a key role in this,” says Eskola.<\/p>\n

According to him, the digitalization of healthcare should not be an end in itself and a perpetual construction site, but digital tools must bring concrete, workable solutions and impact to the daily lives of citizens and professionals.<\/p>\n

“Direct health applications made from data are one example, removing bottlenecks in service pathways is another.”<\/p>\n
