Which moreAbout Wera Welltech
With the vision that "everyone deserves a good life throughout their life," Wera Welltech was created.
The Vision
Wera was named after the founder Fredrik's grandmother, and she can represent anyone – someone who wishes to retain their abilities for as long as possible and enjoy life throughout their entire life. A person who, with the help of technology, can continue to live well and stay healthy. The technology itself is not what matters, but what it can make easier for people – for the individual, the staff, loved ones, and families.
In this way, we all win.
A few words from our Fredrik
The phone calls to my grandfather over the regular telephone no longer worked when he no longer remembered who he was talking to – it became confusing for both of us. He was on the mainland and I was on Gotland, and the sea between us made it difficult to visit him in person. Eventually, I no longer dared to call, for fear of leaving him confused.
Grandfather Nils was 95 years old and was gradually becoming sicker from his dementia. That is when I made the decision to use my drive and knowledge to make a real difference for people. When my grandfather got help using a tablet at the nursing home, we could have video calls together – it became easier to talk when we saw each other, and I saw when he remembered who I was. It meant a lot to both of us.
I have a master's degree in computer science and have had several IT roles in both the public sector and private companies. What is clear to me is that IT solutions in themselves have no value – it is only when they solve a real need that they create utility. After several years as an IT specialist, I spent a couple of years as a development manager on Gotland, where we together made several improvements for the municipality's residents, and where a project I led won the Region's Innovation Award.
Wera Welltech was founded in the fall of 2021. Now we help many more people create connection, activity, and security.
