Reducing social distance<br />
through co-design<br />
Sebastian Greger & Zagros Hatami<br />
Public healthcare in Finland is based on the provision<br />
of tax-funded services, which, in times of limited<br />
public finances and an ageing population, translates<br />
into a demand that often exceeds available resources.<br />
Since municipalities are legally obliged to provide<br />
their services equally within binding time frames<br />
and at a predefined level of quality, there is a strong<br />
demand <strong>for</strong> solutions that will help cut costs, optimise<br />
the utilisation of available resources and save<br />
on expensive treatments through preventive care.<br />
