Konstantinos Antypas

Bio

I am interested in e-health and telemedicine (I have been working in e-health since 2005). My research looks at the development and evaluation of effective and user-centred solutions. My main interest is in cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation but I am also currently, and have previously been, involved in projects concerning other non-transmissible diseases and prevention, such as stopping smoking (slutta.no), telerehabilitation for stroke patients, and Class III obesity and telecognitive behavioural therapy.

Other areas of interest are the digitisation of nurse’s training, open data and global e-health.
