SynPlan Team with 40+ years of experience in AI and ML

Our vision

At SynPlan, we believe that modern technology can greatly improve the quality of services and increase the satisfaction of the humans behind them. With an ever-growing demand for healthcare professionals and an ageing population, efficiency and good planning are key to meet the challenges ahead. Having combined expertise in the field of AI and healthcare, we want to empower healthcare organisations with smarter and more efficient tools in their workforce planning process. Our goal is to provide support for a tedious and time consuming task that ultimately will benefit the humans behind the work and those receiving the services.

Our team consists of longtime experienced individuals from both industry and academics. Having used AI to solve real-world problems for over a decade, our founders have a good understanding of the technology and its application. Furthermore, SynPlan also has board members and advisors from both the tech industry and the healthcare sector.
