E-health
Linnaeus University works with research, evaluation, collaboration and education within e-health. Read more about our master’s programme, courses, ongoing research projects and interdisciplinary research groups within the field of e-health.
The national ”Vision for e-health 2025” implies that Sweden will become best in the world at using digitalisation, products and services to solve the societal challenges of an ageing population and an increased need for individualised health care. In order to succeed, we must strengthen our research and qualifications in the field of e-health.
Researchers at Linnaeus University play a key role when we, independently and evidence-based, educate, follow up, evaluate, and conduct research projects to enable a sound implementation and use of digital support in health care.
Education
Program and courses
Linnaeus University provides education in e-health for the users of both today and tomorrow. We offer single-subject courses and commissioned training as well as a master’s programme in e-health.
Commissioned training
Linnaeus University has a long experience in the field of e-health and we train care staff, leaders, developers, IT strategists, economists, and government officials who want to improve their skills in e-health.
