Relevant course from our partners: Current Trends in eHealth Perspectives
The definition of eHealth is constantly evolving, and this course aims to introduce students to the vast area of eHealth and the research frontier of the field. We will invite critical reflection on the impact of eHealth on the future of healthcare, on society and on the users of eHealth – both health care workers and end-users. eHealth is multidisciplinary in nature and aims to equip the global audience of health clinicians, students, managers, administrators, and researchers to reflect on the overall impact of eHealth on the integration of care.
This is a course organized by our partners at the University of Southeast Norway (USN). For questions related to the course, contact USN directly.
