At NR, we research and develop e-health and welfare technologies, focusing many of our projects on patient-user experiences with assistive devices, along with insights from healthcare personnel and caretakers. As rapidly growing fields, e-health and welfare technology hold immense potential for providing equitable healthcare solutions that contribute to enhanced safety, participation and mobility.<\/strong> Our researchers are committed to creating services and solutions that emphasise ethics, privacy, and digital security.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

E-health and assistive technology in ICT <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

E-health and welfare technology is a broad and complex field encompassing numerous research topics. Our research focuses particularly on assistive and adaptive ICT technologies, benefiting from close collaborations with other research groups at the institute, namely: Digital Transformation, Privacy and Security, and Digital Inclusion. Each group contributes unique perspectives and approaches, enhancing our work in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advancing digital health literacy and self-management tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to ensuring equal access to healthcare services and fostering positive patient and user experiences, while remaining attentive to ethical considerations, privacy issues, and secure digital solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our projects focus on enhancing individuals’ digital health skills and empowering them to take charge of their own health. This involves supporting the processes of searching for, understanding, assessing and using health information from electronic sources, as well as using electronic tools to monitor their own health status. Central elements in our work include user-friendliness, universal design and training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our research is also oriented towards advancing knowledge and methods that can lead to better products and services, such as e-consultations, self-service solutions, self-monitoring of health metrics and personal health management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to actively promote self-mastery and reduce feelings of alienation, ultimately improving quality of life for all involved, including relatives and other caregivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
