In her first months as CEO of BCB Medical, Minna Palhamo has had the opportunity to gain insight into the company’s strengths—and the unique role it plays in the rapidly evolving landscape of health technology.
From day one, Palhamo has been committed to reaffirming BCB Medical’s core mission: to be the most trusted partner in healthcare across the Nordics and the UK, blending deep technical expertise with seamless integration and ecosystem collaboration. This commitment also reflects a strong understanding of the demanding processes within healthcare organisations and the daily needs of individual clinicians, whose work is supported by the data-driven tools BCB Medical provides.
Palhamo brings with her broad experience from the healthcare business, having held leadership and strategic roles in healthcare, medical device and pharmaceutical industry. Her background gives her a comprehensive perspective on how clinical environments operate and how technology can be designed to support better care delivery.
Especially important to Palhamo is direct collaboration with customers. Meeting with healthcare professionals, administrators, and decision-makers across wellbeing services counties and hospital districts is a cornerstone of how BCB Medical operates. These interactions ensure that solutions are not only technically advanced but also truly aligned with the real-world needs of those who use them.
“BCB Medical is a company that doesn’t just provide technology—it builds long-term, trusted partnerships with healthcare institutions. That trust is earned through years of delivering reliable, high-quality solutions that work in real clinical environments,” says Palhamo.
A Trusted Partner in Value-Based Healthcare
BCB Medical provides cutting-edge solutions to public healthcare systems, with a clear focus on improving patient outcomes, streamlining clinical workflows, and delivering measurable value. With comprehensive data solutions implemented in over 400 healthcare institutions across the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom, BCB Medical has proven itself as a key enabler of modern, data-driven healthcare. Company’s mission is to ensure high-quality healthcare is accessible and efficient, powered by innovative technologies and strong partnerships.
“The scale of impact is tangible,” Palhamo notes. “We’re talking about hundreds of hospitals and clinics that rely on BCB Medical every day to ensure patient data flows securely and efficiently. That’s a responsibility we take very seriously.”
Integration as a Core Competence
One of BCB Medical’s defining strengths is its ability to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of information systems. The company’s solutions already connect with over 75 different clinical systems, a feat that requires not just technical capability but also a deep understanding of how healthcare works on the ground.
“Integration isn’t just a technical challenge. It’s about understanding workflows, knowing where the pain points are, and designing systems that make clinicians’ lives easier,” Palhamo explains. “That’s where BCB Medical excels. We have the experience and the mindset to build smooth, reliable bridges between systems.”
Driving Healthcare Innovation Through Collaboration and AI
Another key area where Palhamo sees BCB Medical adding value is in its collaborative approach to ecosystem building. Whether through strategic partnerships or co-creation networks, the company plays an active role in shaping innovation across the healthcare sector.
A growing focus is also placed on utilising AI-powered tools, not only to enhance existing solutions but also to develop new, impactful services that can further support healthcare professionals in their daily work and improve outcomes for patients.
Looking Ahead
As she looks toward the future, Palhamo is focused on expanding BCB Medical’s influence, particularly in international markets, while strengthening its foundation as a dependable, forward-thinking partner in healthcare.
“I see BCB Medical as a company that has all the building blocks in place: trust, competence, and a clear understanding of what modern healthcare needs,” she says. “Our job now is to keep innovating, keep listening to our partners, and keep making healthcare smarter—one integration, one insight at a time.”
