eHealth (ICT in health care and welfare)

eHealth (ICT in health care and welfare)

The focus area of eHealth looks into healthcare practices supported by electronic processes, communication, applications of the Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile health care applications. The main challenge in eHealth is to organise communication, workflow, processes by best-practice. NRs researchers have specialised in developing prototypes using new technologies and research results, such as sensor networks, mobile devices, usability, user experience, security, privacy, universal design, as well as performing user studies. We work within several sub-disciplines of eHealth:

  • Data communication between technical entities (sensor networks, mobile devices, health care enterprises). We have developed a concept for such communication using the MPEG-21 standard (ISO 21000);
  • Patient monitoring systems using wireless biomedical sensor networks; communication with healtcare information systems, including electronic health record (EHR, EPJ) and personal health record (PHR) systems;
  • Technologies for ambient assisted living (AAL) and welfare technologies;
  • Mobile decision systems for self-care patients;
  • Security, privacy, usability and universal design of eHealth systems.
