Project Manager

Better Care is a pioneering company that is leading the way in the collection, management and processing of clinical data. Founded in 2010 as a spin-off of the Parc Taulí University Hospital in Sabadell (Barcelona, Spain), it is growing with the support of healthcare professionals to meet their real needs.

What is the challenge? The large volume of data that healthcare professionals must manage makes it a challenge to understand and interpret in real time the multiple signals and parameters generated by medical devices connected to patients.

Our mission: to connect knowledge for a better care

Our vision: to be world leader in the digital transformation of clinical data, generating value for the healthcare system

We are passionate about innovation, we strongly believe that we can always improve and we strive to understand the healthcare needs and respond to them.
