About the eHealth Institute
The e-Health Institute at Linnaeus University acts for a sound, knowledge-based use of digital technology, well-suited for its purpose, within nursing and care. We work with knowledge on how the digital technology can increase patient participation in nursing and care and make it more secure and sustainable in the long term.
The e-Health Institute is a dynamic, interdisciplinary knowledge and learning environment that offers education and seminars within e-Health. We carry out research and evaluation projects with focus on user and citizen utility. We also offer single-subject courses and a master’s programme in e-Health.
