Our History

Linkura’s history begins in Linköping as early as 2008. A group of researchers at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Linköping University develops physiological sensors with the vision of making them useful in everyday life. The aim is to give individuals an understanding of their body and so they can make proactive changes in their lifestyle. To commercialize its sensors, the company Minovi is founded.

A couple of years later, a couple of engineering students at Linköping University decide to start the company Linkura, an initiative to digitize coaching and help more people to better health and lifestyle. Through the digital connection to their clients, the coach could suddenly inspire and challenge in the middle of everyday life. When and where life happens. Clear results were quickly seen.

Both Linkura and Minovi moved into the university’s business incubator LEAD early on. After joint discussions, it was clear that the companies had different technologies, but a shared vision. The tools developed for online coaching would of course be combined with Minovi’s unique ECG sensor that collected biodata in everyday life.

The Journey Really Began

In August 2013, the businesses were merged under the name Linkura. Aiming our services at companies and organizations was natural as there were no measurable tools or processes that help the employees in the organization to change. Already that winter, Linkura delivered to the first customer and the journey towards new ways of working against stress and exhaustion had really begun!
