People living with chronic disease often only spend one hour per year in health care, and the rest, 8765 hours, is spent on self-care. The challenge is to find science based, motivational and effective support in everyday life, as well as a way to share valuable real world insights with healthcare.

At Elsa, 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.

The most amazing and touching part about working at Elsa is to be able to hear from the users whose days are positively impacted by what we do. Imagine people downloading our app and then writing to us explaining how grateful they are that Elsa exists! It warms my heart. - Adam, UX designer

I have had jobs in the past where the end result does not feel really meaningful. But I want to do something that serves a purpose, that actually improves someone’s life and creates value beyond my technical bubble. As a result, my life improves knowing that I help others. - Johan, developer 

All my colleagues really care about each other and it has a spillover effect on how we approach and treat our users. It feels really refreshing. - Monique, developer
