Welfare Technology

Are you interested in how we can meet societal challenges linked to social welfare and health care through welfare technology and new digital solutions? Welfare technology is a rapidly developing research area. The studies in welfare technology deal with new digital e-Health services and the opportunities and challenges they pose for vulnerable patient groups, relatives and staff. The studies focus on how to develop, implement and evaluate new user-friendly and evidence-based digital solutions. The courses teach you more about the management of digital change processes, economic conditions and sustainable development from the perspective of the organisation, as well as the latest global trends and innovations in the field and the future of healthcare.
