Webinar series: Technology use for Covid 19 response

The VOPD webinar series "Technology use for Covid 19 response" was held during autumn 2020. Watch our recorded webinars here!

Using distance-spanning services for healthcare and care helps to protect our most vulnerable citizens from the pandemic. But what distance-spanning services exist? How can we bring them to the people that need them? And how do we fast-track innovation of healthcare and care? These are the questions that were highlighted in our webinar series during autumn 2020.

The future healthcare and social care data source may already be attached to your wrist

The political ambitions in the Nordic countries are increased emphasis on patient centric healthcare and social care. Perhaps the most obvious example of technology that can provide self monitoring and self service possibilities for both healthcare and social care sector is wearables. Some regions and municipalities are already making use of these devices.
