Virtual study tour

This site presents a virtual study tour of digital health in Norway. These insights were collected and curated from 2021 to 2024.

You will find information, web articles and videos with examples of the digitalisation of healthcare services in different parts of Norway. We have talked to researchers at universities and hospitals about the ways technological tools and digital home care change workflows in health systems. It can improve how support and care is being delivered to citizens, ensuring a more personalised and holistic approach. Government directorates share some strategic roadmaps for health innovation. They also discuss how the health services can benefit from using artificial intelligence to improve prevention, prediction, diagnosis and treatment.

The knowledge products are created as part of a project where we collaborate with the Ministry of Health in Poland: Tackling social inequalities in health with the use of e-health and telemedicine solutions.

The project is funded by Norway grants.
