AdressWho we are and what we believe
Elsa was founded to change the fact that there is no science-based, individualized treatment support for people living with chronic disease to optimize their quality of life.
Our goal is to be a motivational and educational digital platform that brings individuals, families, health care providers, medical companies and scientists together through seamless data sharing and powerful communication for a greater good: to detect and manage the illness, improve healthcare and empower the individual to reach a new normal and live life to its fullest.

How we work
At Elsa Science we strive to make an impact on the world and to improve people's lives. In order to do so, we place importance on our individual mental and physical health, which includes both caring about each other and our users. Our users are also at the center of everything that we do and we are co-creating Elsa in dialog with them and our other collaborators.
As the second part of our name might reveal, we love science and facts! We get just as excited about what's already been discovered about health and lifestyle habits as we do about all the opportunities yet to be discovered. Exploring is by nature uncertain and unpredictable, as well as exciting and fun, and that's also the nature of being part of Elsa!
I have had jobs in the past where the end result does not feel really meaningful. But doing something that actually makes a positive impact on people's life gives me a huge motivational kick in my everyday work. - Andrea, Software Engineer
