Testing the future of healthcare education through simulation technology
Recently, two successful trials were conducted within the 6G-PATH research project, where nursing students and ambulance personnel tested a new form of remote healthcare education.
The aim was to investigate how next-generation communication technologies such as 5G, future 6G networks, edge computing, and cloud services can be used to create realistic and accessible learning environments for healthcare professionals.

Karlstad University part of Electrified Flexible Industry
Three units at Karlstad University – Electrical Engineering, DAMI and Computer Science – are part of the large-scale project Electrified Flexible Industry. The aim of the project is to develop solutions for a more flexible, resilient, digital and resource-efficient energy system.
Karlstad University’s role in the project is to develop AI-based solutions to enable companies to anticipate energy demand, prices and flexibility opportunities. This, in turn, will help companies reduce costs while contributing to a more sustainable energy system.
“We will combine AI with energy data to enable smarter decision-making around energy utilization,” says Andreas Theocharis, Associate Professor in Electrical Engineering and project leader for Karlstad University’s contribution to Electrified Flexible Industry.

Karlstad University coordinates EU project on 6G
The EU-funded project PIONEERS-6G – Platform and Device Innovations for Energy-Efficient, Resilient, and Secure 6G IoT Systems, coordinated by Karlstad University with partners from six countries, aims to develop the mobile networks of the future with a focus on Internet of Things (IoT) services and applications.
6G is the sixth generation of mobile networks and the next step in the evolution of wireless communication. It is expected to be introduced in the 2030s and aims to offer higher speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connections than 5G. It will also be able to support a much larger number of connected devices simultaneously, ultimately fulfilling the requirements of several IoT scenarios.

How 6G can transform healthcare education
The 6G-PATH project (6G-Pilots and Trials Through Europe), involving both Computer Science and Nursing recently presented its technology to an audience during a fully attended seminar.
The aim of the project is to advance education in health and medical care by using communication technologies such as 5G and 6G, combined with Extended Reality (XR) and Virtual Reality (VR).
The goal is to make healthcare education more realistic and flexible, for example through VR and remote training where simulators and equipment can be used outside traditional classrooms. The technology can also support healthcare personnel in acute situations by allowing experts to join remotely.

DAMI Day 2025 – Innovation and Collaboration for a Sustainable Industry
On October 21, Karlstad University hosted DAMI Day – a day that brought together researchers and companies to explore how digitalization can drive sustainable industrial development. Under the theme “Sustainable Industry Through Innovation Together”, the event offered inspiring presentations, networking opportunities, and discussions about future challenges.
Digitalization is one of the biggest transformations facing industry today. DAMI, the research center for Digital Adaptive Manufacturing for Industry, works to create practical solutions by bridging academia and business. The goal is to build networks and make the industry of the future smarter, more adaptable, and more sustainable.
