Professor Birthe Dinesen has written a chapter on the research project: “Future Patient – telerehabilitation of patients with heart failure” in the Japanese book on “Telenursing – Theory and Practice”.
The chapter describe the project and results from an RCT study: Increased quality of life, increased motivation and empowerment of patients.
Velkommen til nye studentermedhjælpere ved Laboratorie for Velfærdsteknologi – Digital Sundhed & Rehabilitering ved Institut for Medicin og Sundhedsteknologi på AAU SUND.
Størstedelen af vores nuværende hold af studentermedhjælpere bliver færdig med deres kandidatgrad i juni måned, og derfor har vi ansat nye studerende fra Sundhedsteknologi, Datalogi og Industriel Medicin. De studerende hjælper med opgaver som litteratursøgning, pakning af udstyr til hjemmemonitorering hos hjertepatienter, interviews, dataanalyse og afvikling af møder og workshops i samskabelsesprocesser. Vores nuværende studentermedhjælpere skal hjælpe med at oplære de nye de næste par måneder. Vi glæder os til at samarbejde med jer.
PS: Robotterne Michael og Laura er på vej tilbage til Japan.
Professor i digital sundhed, Birthe Dinesen, er begejstret for Danmarks kommende AI-supercomputer: “Det bliver et kæmpe værktøj”
TTRN PhD Course 2024:
Venue: Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark
Dates: 2024, August 12-16
Course fee: DKK 3.800, € 510 or $ 550
Deadline, registration: 2024, Juni 10
The aim of the PhD course is to give a comprehensive introduction to research methods used in the different phases of the innovation process for digital health technologies such as telehealth, home monitoring, mHealth, video consultation, artificial intelligence (AI), clinical robots, etc.
Thus, PhD students will during the course learn about relevant research methods and their strengths and weaknesses in the design, assessment and implementation of digital health technologies. During the course the students will examine the possibilities for using the methods in their own PhD project.
The course focus on interdisciplinary research methods, assessment of the societal value of technologies, patient involvement, organizational challenges and have an interdisciplinary faculty and students from medicine, nursing, health policy, engineering, etc.
The course is relevant for PhD-students with interest in research in design, assessment and implementation of digital health technologies, including telemedicine, home monitoring, AI and clinical robots. Senior researchers with interest in these areas are also welcome.
Odense University Hospital is leading in European research and practical use of digital health technologies. During all days, clinicians from the hospital will participate and present examples of the use of digital health technologies in the clinical practise. In addition, all days will involve group work and students will give a presentation at the last day of the course and present their use of the scientific disciplines described during the course in their own research project.
The course is organized in collaboration with TTRN – Transatlantic Telemedicine Research Network and involves researchers from Danish and US universities including UC Berkeley, UC Davis and Cleveland Clinic.
Join the International conference on Integrated Care (ICI24): “Taking the leap: making integrated care a reality for people and communities”.
Professor Birthe Dinesen has been invited to give a keynote on “Using digital health to make integrated care a reality in Denmark – what have we learned so far?” at the International conference on Integrated Care (ICI24) taking place April 22-24 in Belfast, Ireland.
The conference programme has just been launched – take a look and join us in Belfast for an interesting conference.
Today the online newspaper “Avisen Danmark” has an article on results from the research study iTrain focusing on tele-rehabilitation of COPD patients in their own homes over a two-year period.
The study was carried out simultaneously in Denmark, Norway and Australia. The objective was to compare three types of rehabilitation for patients with COPD in the three countries.
In Denmark, the study was conducted as a collaboration between the Esbjerg Health Center, the Pulmonary Medicine Department of Southwest Jutland Hospital and Aalborg University.
The research project was headed by professor Paolo Zanaboni, Norwegian Center for e-Health research, Norway, professor Anne Holland, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia and professor Birthe Dinesen, Aalborg University. The study was financed by the Norwegian Research Council.
Kalpit Ballal has defended his PhD thesis: “Evaluation of Celluar IoT Technologies for Critical Application” at DTU.
Kalpit made his PhD thesis as part of the research program Future Patient in collaboration between DTU and AAU.
Kalpit has developed and tested a new ECG application to be used for cardiac patients.
Congratulation to Kalpit with a successful defence and a well deserved PhD degree.

Vi har lige haft status møde på forskningsprojektet TelePal, hvor patienter i palliation indgår i et lodtrækningsforsøg:
Projektet er støttet af Knæk Cancer midler fra Kræftens Bekæmpelse og Esbjerg Sygehus.
Parter i projekter er: Enhed for Lindrende Behandling, Esbjerg og Grindsted Sygehus; CIMT, Odense Universitetshospital; Psykologisk Institut, Aarhus Universitet og Laboratorie for Velfærdsteknologi – Digital Sundhed & Rehabilitering, ExerciseTech, Institut for Medicin og Sundhedsteknologi på Aalborg Universitet.
I forskningsprojektet: “Future Patient – telerehabilitering af patienter med atrieflimren” har vi lige inkluderet patient nr 100 102 ud af 208, som skal med i studiet. Det er gået over al forventning med at inkludere patienter i studiet. Tak for indsatsen til Hjertesygdomme på Regionshopsitalet i Viborg og Silkeborg, sundhedscentre i Viborg, Silkeborg og Skive & teamet ved Laboratorie for Velfærdsteknologi på AAU.
Studentermedhjælp Dorthea og jeg har nu startet en interviewrunde, hvor vi interviewer patienter om deres oplevelser og erfaringer med at deltage i projektet. Lektor Helle Spindler fra Psykologisk Institut på Aarhus Universitet vil interviewe pårørende i projektet. I kan følge projektet her.
Hjerteforeningen støtter projektet.
