Evondos A/S

INTRODUCTION
Evondos is a pioneering healthcare technology company committed to redefining medication management and enhancing the quality of life for individuals in need of daily medication support. Their innovative solutions are designed to streamline the medication administration process, improve patient outcomes, and provide peace of mind to caregivers, healthcare providers, and families.

Evondos' history is rooted in a heartfelt childhood experience. Founder, Mika Apell, spent a significant amount of time at his grandmother's home in North Karelia, Finland, where he was first introduced to the challenges of home pharmacotherapy. Witnessing the complexities of medication management left a lasting impression on him. The memories of a nurse filling his grandmother's red pill organizer while trying to maintain focus on the task resonated deeply. Mika's grandmother deserved more attention and human interaction. However, the nurse's primary concern was the accurate arrangement of medication, leaving little room for meaningful conversation.

Mika's determination to improve this situation led to a pivotal moment during his adult education at the University of Turku in 2007. Collaborating with fellow students who shared similar experiences, they conceived the idea of assisting senior citizens and their caregivers in their daily lives. By 2009, the team had created the first version of a medicine dispenser.

The journey from a rudimentary prototype to a functioning service concept was arduous and required years of dedication. In 2012, the first practical prototype emerged, accompanied by the company's initial patent applications. Positive feedback from early customers fueled their commitment to research and development, securing financing, and resolving production challenges.

Clinical trials commenced in 2013, and in March 2014, Evondos achieved the CE mark, satisfying the conditions for sales and marketing. This marked a significant milestone as the first robots were delivered to customers.

In early 2023, Evondos acquired Medido, a Dutch provider of medication dispensing services in the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Evondos Group today employs over 350 professionals in the Nordic countries and the Netherlands, serving tens of thousands of users daily across more than 700 customer organizations. The headquarters of Evondos Group is located in Helsinki, with the majority of its operations and production facilities in Salo, Finland and Zoetermeer, Netherlands
