Digital Health

Head of Section: Jakob Eyvind Bardram

The Digital Health section researches digital technologies for health, healthcare, life science, and society, in order to enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery and make healthcare more personalized and precise. As an interdisciplinary scientific discipline, Digital Health involves the use of information and communication technologies to address the health problems and challenges faced by patients and society in general.

The section works with a wide range of both hardware and software technologies, including wearable medical devices, biomedical signal processing, brain-computer interfaces, human-computer interfaces, artificial intelligence, machine learning, mobile & wearable sensing, personalized health technology, telemedicine, remote health monitoring, clinical support systems, and large-scale health data science infrastructures for collection, management, and analysis of health and well-being data.

The section addresses advances in diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring of a wide range of health and well-being domains, including psychiatry (e.g., depression and bipolar disorders), cognitive declined (e.g., dementia), neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy and Parkinson's), cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.

What is Digital Health?

Digital health is a broad area encompassing categories such as mobile health, wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine and it involves the use of information and communication technologies to address health problems and challenges faced by patients and society in general. Read more...

What is Wearables?

A wearable medical device is worn directly at the body, it is autonomous and it performs a specific medical function such as monitoring, collection or actuation of patient data. It can be non-invasive i.e. outside the body as well as implantable i.e. inside the body. Read more...
