When I was first introduced to MIMOSA back in 2018 I was immediately struck by the impact the technology could have on healthcare. After meeting with the team I was convinced that no team was better positioned to make a HUGE impact.

More recently I was presented with an opportunity to rejoin the company, a few years further along and ready for the final push to the market. MIMOSA has overcome challenge after challenge and we are finally seeing years of hard work payoff.

We work hard, we laugh and, as a team, we are constantly looking to make people's lives better.

Working at MIMOSA allows me to apply myself in ways that align with my values, while also having the flexibility to live a life outside of work. I believe the effort I put in will ultimately result in a better healthcare system for everyone.

What working at MIMOSA means to me: building technology to bring quality healthcare to everyone, regardless of who they are and where they live.

Having worked with early prototypes of the MIMOSA in clinical trials, it is exciting to see the technology be commercialized and the company grow. MIMOSA has the capacity to help so many people globally, and everyone who works here is committed to making that happen.

“Working at Mimosa allows me to expand my knowledge and skills. I’m delighted to apply my skills to a company that provides a unique healthcare system to people around the world.”

For me, working at MIMOSA means the realization of my dream of living and working in Canada. It also means a dramatic shift in my career path and the ability to work on something which has the potential to help millions of people who suffer with wounds.

I joined MIMOSA in December 2022, and I've been loving it ever since.The best part about working here is the positive work environment. Everyone is so supportive of each other and working towards a common goal. I feel valued, and all my ideas are taken seriously to make sure we're improving our processes and reaching a goal of ensuring that testing is integrated throughout the software development lifecycle, leading to better quality software that meets the expectations of clients.

Working for MIMOSA means I can contribute to technology that will genuinely help people's lives. I can apply my skills to make a real difference to the world.

Working at MIMOSA is more than just a job, it’s a community of passionate individuals dedicated to improving the healthcare system. Working here allows me to grow my skills, collaborate with talented colleagues, and contribute to a project that has a meaningful impact on people’s lives. The positive and supportive work environment makes MIMOSA an exceptional workplace, and I am proud to be part of such a dynamic team.

My passion is wounds, and this is probably why I have spent over 35 years of my working career in this space. This started during my PhD studies where I had to choose a research project. One that piqued my interest was the development of preclinical, laboratory-based tools to evaluate burn dressings. My interest was stimulated by both the subject matter and the fact that the wife of a friend had recently passed because of major burn injuries. This started my wound care journey and has driven my passion to help make a difference for those suffering from wounds.

MIMOSA has a similar beginning and passion which attracted me to work with this organisation and team.

With over a decade immersed in diagnostic imaging research where healthcare and engineering intersect, my passion and expertise beautifully align with MIMOSA's mission and values. It's our shared dedication to making a real impact, saving lives, and improving healthcare for all through innovative imaging solutions that truly inspired me to join this incredible team. Working at MIMOSA is deeply fulfilling. We're actively crafting healthcare solutions that are reshaping the industry to be more inclusive, fair, and effective, and I couldn't be prouder to be a part of it.

Being part of Team MIMOSA allows me to put my marketing skills towards promoting a solution that has the potential to positively impact clinicians and patients across the care continuum. Every single person will encounter the healthcare system in their lifetime and MIMOSA allows me to play a small role in improving those experiences which I could not be happier about.
