Meet the team
What sets our team apart is their remarkable ability to connect with, and understand our clients’ needs. How? Well, most of us have a background in the health or social care sector, whether as clinicians or in support services. Some of us have personally supported our family or loved ones through their care and treatment journey, while others possess an unmatched passion for health technology – and are ultimately just awesome at what they do!
This wealth of knowledge and real-life experience makes a significant difference in our approach. It not only allows us to understand and empathise with our clients on a deeper level but also drives us to innovate continuously. We strive every day to go that extra mile in making healthcare services better for everyone. At 8fold, we believe that the combination of expertise, empathy and dedication, fosters a unique and powerful force for positive change in the health technology landscape.
