Personalised Telehealth in the future – presented in Japan

On the occasion of the year celebrating the 150 years anniversary of the diplomatic relations and friendship between Japan and Denmark, the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Research and the Royal Danish Embassy in Tokyo have organized the seminar “PHOTONICS CREATING THE FUTURE!” at the Tokyo International Forum in Japan November 16 2017.

“Photonics” has been chosen as a memorial topic because a Danish company, The Great Northern Telegraph Company (大北電信会社) established connections between Japan and the world by laying the first international submarine cable for Japan in 1871.

At the seminar researchers from Japan and Denmark gave talks on avariety of topics from fundamental research to future applications. I was invited to present telehealth ”Personalized Telehealth in the future: Examples from Danish Research Projects” as a new application area for future collaboration between Denmark and Japan. There was a big interest for future collaboration.

Future Patient på Landskursus for Kardiologiske Sygeplejersker

Mandag d 13. november deltog Future Patient – telerehabilitering af hjertesvigtspatienter, med et indlæg på Landskonference for kardiologiske sygeplejersker på Comwell i Middelfart.

Oplægsholdere var Marianne Lønvig, afdelingssygeplejerske Hjerteklinikken, Regionshospitalet Viborg, Malene Hollingdal, overlæge Hjertesygdomme Regionshospitalet Viborg, Phd studerende Søren Sleth, AAU og patient Tina Møller. Projektsygeplejerske Lene Horsfeldt deltog ligeledes i panelet ved fremlæggelsen af projektet.

Der var stor interesse for projektet og spørgelysten var enorm, ikke mindst patientens fortælling om sit hjertesvigtsforløb og medvirken i Future Patient, vakte stor anerkendelse og bidrog til en livlig debat og positiv feedback.

Alt i alt en spændende og inspirerende dag, hvor Future Patient var genstand for megen omtale.

Stor interesse for Wearables ved eCardiology konference Berlin

Den 9-10 November blev Future Patient præsenteret ved den årlige eCardiology konference i Berlin.

Fantastisk inspirerende at høre nogle af verdens eksperter diskutere emner indenfor innovationer i telemonitorering/telerehabilitering af hjertesvigtspatienter.

Gennem konferencen blev der udvist stor interesse for brugen af wearables til patient management og monitorering.

Norge er interesseret i telerehabilitering

Onsdag den 25 oktober 2017 have Laboratoriet for Velfærdsteknologi besøg af sundhedsprofessionelle og IT-konsulenter fra Sunnaas Sykehus i Norge. Sunnaas Sygehus er Norges mest anerkendte sygehus inden for rehabilitering. Formålet med besøget var at hente inspiration til, hvordan telerehabilitering kan blive et fremtidigt tilbud i det norske sundhedsvæsen.

Efter besøget på AAU besøgte den norske delegation Skive Sundhedshus for blandt andet at høre om Future Patient – telerehabilitering af hjertesvigtspatienter.
