What if the future of healthcare was not locked inside closed IT systems but instead open to innovation and collaboration? That is the vision behind a new strategic partnership between Cambio, a leading Nordic eHealth company, and Tandem Health, a Swedish AI specialist.
As Swedish healthcare moves toward a more digital and data-driven model, the partnership signals a clear step toward open and interoperable ecosystems where new technology can be integrated without barriers. This is not only about technology, it is about creating everyday tools that improve how clinicians work and how patients experience care.
Healthcare has always depended on collaboration between different professionals and organizations. Yet many IT systems still work in silos, which makes it difficult to share data or add new functionality. This creates frustration for clinicians who want simpler and smarter tools, and for patients who expect continuity in their care journey.
Open healthcare systems are designed to fix that. By allowing integrations between core information systems and external applications, providers can choose the tools that fit their needs without replacing the systems they already use. This flexibility is critical in an era when healthcare must be both efficient and adaptable.
The partnership takes a concrete step forward with Tandem Health’s approval as an official integrator on Cambio Open Services. This open platform lets external providers build direct integrations with Cambio’s healthcare information system COSMIC.
For healthcare providers, this means Tandem Health’s portfolio of AI-powered solutions, covering documentation support, clinical decision support, and workflow optimization, can connect directly to existing systems in a secure and standardized way.
“Our goal is to develop AI solutions that really make a difference in daily healthcare, from documentation to clinical decision support. By working in an open and partnership-driven way, we can provide specialized modules for specific needs without requiring providers to replace their existing systems,” says Lukas Saari, CEO of Tandem Health.
Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant vision in healthcare. It is becoming part of everyday practice. In clinical settings, AI can reduce the time spent on administration, support decision-making with real-time insights, and even help prevent errors by flagging potential risks.
Instead of replacing clinicians, AI in healthcare is designed to support them. Tools like those from Tandem Health allow doctors and nurses to spend more time with patients and less time on repetitive tasks. By embedding these solutions into core systems such as COSMIC, healthcare providers can access the benefits of AI without extra logins, training, or disruption to existing workflows.
The timing of this partnership is not a coincidence. In March 2025, the European Health Data Space regulation came into force. The regulation sets high standards for interoperability and cross-border data sharing, aiming to make healthcare data accessible and usable across Europe.
For healthcare providers, EHDS compliance is both a challenge and an opportunity. Systems must now be designed for openness, ensuring data can move securely between organizations and countries. By partnering with Tandem Health, Cambio is aligning its platform with this vision, helping customers prepare for the new requirements while gaining access to innovative AI capabilities.
“AI is a natural part of the future of medical record systems, and we’ve long advocated for openness in healthcare IT. At Cambio, we see great value in working with partners like Tandem Health to complement and strengthen our technology. This is a natural step in expanding our offering and creating even greater value for customers, by combining our own technology with partners who bring important capabilities to an open ecosystem,” says Tomas Block, Chief Product Officer at Cambio.
Across Europe and beyond, healthcare is moving toward ecosystems rather than monolithic systems. Instead of single vendors trying to provide every solution, the trend is toward platforms that act as stable hubs where specialized applications can connect.
This approach reflects how innovation works in other industries. Smartphones, for example, became powerful tools not only because of the device itself but because of the ecosystem of apps built around it. Healthcare information systems are heading in the same direction. They will serve as secure foundations where best-in-class applications can be added, updated, or replaced as needs evolve.
The partnership between Cambio and Tandem Health is a Nordic example of this global trend. It shows that established players and specialized innovators can work together to deliver more value than either could alone.
For clinicians, the benefits of open AI-enabled systems are tangible:
For patients, the advantages are equally clear:
Ultimately, open ecosystems make it easier for healthcare providers to focus on what matters most: delivering safe, high-quality care.
Cambio is a leading Nordic provider of eHealth solutions, offering healthcare information systems and specialist solutions in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. By promoting more integrated, accessible, and sustainable care, Cambio strengthens the entire care chain. With a focus on openness and collaboration, the company fosters an ecosystem where innovation, efficiency, and value creation benefit both healthcare professionals and citizens.
The future of healthcare is open, collaborative, and AI-enabled. The partnership between Cambio and Tandem Health is a step toward a new kind of healthcare infrastructure, one where innovation can be integrated seamlessly and where both clinicians and patients benefit from smarter and more connected systems.
