Research Methods in Innovation Processes for Digital Health Technology
August 12-16th, 2019 at Odense University Hospital, in Odense, Denmark.
The course is arranged by the University of Southern Denmark and the Transatlantic Telehealth Research Network (TTRN).
Aim
The aim of the Ph.D. course is to give a comprehensive introduction to research methods used in the different phases of the innovation process for digital health technologies such as telehealth, home monitoring, mHealth, video consultation, robot surgery, artificial intelligence, electronic health record systems, POCT (Point of Care Testing) devices etc. Thus, Ph.D. students will during the course learn about relevant research methods and their strengths and weaknesses in the design, assessment and implementation of digital health technologies. During the course the students will examine the possibilities for using the methods in their own Ph.D. project.
New grant for the continuation of Future Patient
We have just received a grant of 5 million kroner for the continuation of Future Patient – telerehabilitation of cardiac patients. We will work on preparing an implementation of the project, and adapt the Hjerteportalen.dk to rehabilitation of atrial fibrillation patients.
We are looking forward to the next steps in the process, and would like to thank the Aage og Johanne Louis Hansens Foundation for the support.
