MedUniverse was founded in 2008 by Anna Omstedt Lindgren and Anna Norin, shifting business models in 2012. MedUniverse has developed a patient case software, customized for the pharmaceutical and med-tech industries, as a means for effective and engaging information and education around patient cases towards doctors, other HCPs and/or patients.
