| Project Title | Looking to the future of innovation and technology in healthcare |
Summary
The population of the remote Northern regions is ageing. Together with long distances, this poses challenges for health care and care of the elderly, and increases costs. The pandemic trained people to use remote connections and services, but demonstrated also which new needs and risks health care has to be prepared for. All this has also increased acceptability of new technological solutions amongst health care professionals and customers. Together with experts and stakeholders, the proposed project will identify new needs and technological solutions. In particular, the project will focus on identifying needs that could be met with IoT technology, on developmental needs of IoT technology and on seeking & disseminating applications already at market. The IoT technology can be used for versatile, real-time and cost-efficient remote monitoring of both health care clients and their surroundings, and of healthcare functions such as operation & location of devices.
Objectives
