Finnish healthcare is facing several simultaneous challenges. An aging population, more people with chronic diseases, and a growing shortage of staff are all increasing the pressure on healthcare. Digitalisation is often highlighted as part of the solution, but in practice, the transition is complex and takes time.
Arcada is filled with ambitious, hard-working students. One of them is Anton Truss, a third-year student in the Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering programme. Not only was he the only undergraduate and the youngest participant to get selected to participate in the RACE 2025 competition, but his team also saw major success and placed third.
