eHealth: Aims and Applications (6 credits)

The overall purpose of the course is to analyse the concept of eHealth based on its interdisciplinary nature. The goal is for students to be able to integrate knowledge from the different parts of the course and critically appraise existing eHealth applications. Through joint teaching between faculties, the course also creates a foundation for interprofessional learning.

After completing the course, students are expected to be able to

• Describe the healthcare system with respect to work procedures, structure, management, and development over time
• Explain the concept of eHealth from different points of view
• Explain how the individual, organisation, and society can contribute to the development of eHealth
• Describe how eHealth can influence health together with quality, attitudes, and work procedures within health and social care
• Reflect upon their role in an interdisciplinary work group.
