Abstract:
Today, health care systems face a number of challenges related to technological developments. This work in progress is a new Swedish initiative for collaboration between nursing science and engineering focusing digitization, demographics and participation. The initiative aims at understanding how digitization affects patients and health care professionals and the role of engineers and how this collaboration proactively contributes to systems that support caring and nursing. The presentation expects input on the programs substance and boundaries and whether this initiative is fruitful to create sustainable health care systems.
