Workshop to identify the challenges of digitalisation in the health sector
Digital Well Arena is a collaborative initiative on digital solutions for a healthier life, between the public sector, academia, civil society, entrepreneurs and business in Värmland. Recently, a workshop was held to make an inventory of the needs for digitalisation in the healthcare sector, what problems society and individuals would benefit from having solved. A multidisciplinary group of researchers working at Karlstad University is now taking over and investigating how research can be part of the solutions.
The workshop took place as an all-day activity at Karlstad Innovation Park, where participants were put into small groups of 4-5 people for discussion. The focus was on what challenges do we see with digitalisation in the healthcare sector?
