Content

The overall purpose of the course is to apply the student's ability to work in projects and thereby deepen their knowledge within eHealth based on its interdisciplinary nature. Because the course is largely interrelated between faculties (medical faculty and technical faculty), it provides the opportunities for interprofessional learning. The projects involve the development of technical products or services and are linked to research or companies active in eHealth. The course content includes e.g. the following:

• Project models
• Universal design (design for everyone)
• Benefits of eHealth in healthcare and care
• User involvement
• Sustainable development
• Ethical perspectives
• Targeted communication
• Innovation, business and entrepreneurship
