A bit about us

We’re Doccla, the virtual ward company. We provide patients and clinicians with the transformative power of remote patient monitoring.

  • Ensure compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., EUMDR, UKMDR) and maintain high standards of clinical governance.
  • Engage with global stakeholders, including healthcare providers, and academic institutions, to foster partnerships and advance research objectives.

Person Specifications:

  • Education: Advanced degree in Medicine, Science, or related fields.
