Ounas Health has joined the CleverHealth Network (CHN), the Finnish healthcare innovation ecosystem led by Helsinki University Hospital (HUS). We spoke with the company’s CEO and co-founder Ville Wuotila, who explains how the company is building tools to bring clarity, context and clinical intelligence to everyday decision-making in eye care.
According to Ville Wuotila, the mission of Ounas Health is to develop tools that bring clarity, context and efficiency to the point of care, helping clinicians navigate disconnected systems and complex workflows with a more streamlined, decision-oriented experience.
By joining the CleverHealth Network, the company aims to collaborate with leading healthcare operators and technology innovators, validate its approach in real-world settings and ensure development reflects the needs of modern care delivery. Ounas Health is currently building its product portfolio, with a first release targeted for June 2026.
Ville Wuotila has worked in several health technology companies developing digital health solutions for ophthalmology and optometry. At Ounas Health, he leads the company’s strategy and overall business. Founded in 2025, Ounas Health is currently focused on ophthalmology, developing solutions that aim to make clinical work in eye care faster, clearer and more consistent.
Fragmented data along the eye-care pathway
Wuotila notes that a patient’s eye-care pathway can generate large volumes of data related to functional measurements, physiological information and laboratory results. This information is often managed across different systems, which in practice can leave clinicians searching multiple sources to find what is relevant during a time-limited appointment.
Solution: A clinical intelligence platform
As a first step, Ounas Health is developing a small smart device to collect and integrate data by connecting to the clinical equipment used in eye clinics. The information is then stored and presented in a clinician-facing viewer that brings the patient’s key data into one place. The goal is to reduce time spent navigating between systems and ease the clinical decision-making process. A prototype is currently being piloted with clinicians, and Ounas Health is collecting feedback from early users to guide further development.
Wuotila says the user interface is designed to be “cognitive”, aimed at anticipating a specialist’s needs and supporting clinical decision-making. Over time, the platform will also surface research information on comparable cases, including borderline cases.
Beyond specialist clinics, Ounas Health also aims to bring its approach into primary care, which Wuotila believes could help reduce false positives findings and improve the quality of referrals. Overall, the goal is to bring relevant clinical insights together in a single interface to support faster, better-informed decisions.
Why CleverHealth Network (CHN)
Wuotila says the company is looking forward to co-developing and co-innovating new solutions with HUS and other CHN members, adding that access to high-quality health data is highly valuable for product development, and in this HUS-led ecosystem, this is well perceived. He also highlights the importance of networking: sparring, ideation, piloting and validation with CHN partners – Ounas Health works to take Finnish innovations to global markets.
Reflecting on what Ounas Health can contribute to the network, Wuotila points to the founders’ long experience in eye care and established networks in the field, as well as practical know-how in global scale-up, digital health commercialisation and pricing. As an early project idea within CHN, he envisages co-developing a clinician viewer for glaucoma services to help reduce complexity in the glaucoma care pathway.
