About us

VirtualCare is an innovative company at the intersection of technology and healthcare. Emerging as a spin-off from the University of Porto, VirtualCare is the result of a collaboration between research units specialized in health information systems.

Benefiting from two decades of accumulated experience by a diverse group of researchers, with training that ranges from medicine and biostatistics to computer science, VirtualCare’s mission is to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare. To this end, we develop and disseminate innovative products, systems, and services that systematically apply information technology and biomedical knowledge.

Our goal is to save time and resources, improve the quality of information and integrate systems, promoting better medical decision-making and greater patient autonomy.
