Knæk Cancer: Kontakt via computeren giver tryghed og god kommunikation

Af

“Carl Erik Lorenz Arnum og Lisbeth Dyrvig har været med til at afprøve den nye digitale platform TelePal, der er udviklet til palliative patienter. Platformen er endnu på forsøgsplanet, men sikrer en god kontakt mellem patienter, pårørende og det palliative team.”

10 years anniversary of TTRN

Af

10 years anniversary of the Transatlantic Telehealth Research Network (TTRN) was celebrated at the international conference: “Digital Health Beyond Covid-19: Lessons Learned” at Aalborg University in Copenhagen this week. We had the pleasure to have the American Ambassador Alan Leventhal from the US Embassy in Copenhagen visiting the conference and participate in the celebration of TTRN.

US Ambassador at TTRN 10year (CPH2022)

Many lessons learned, knowledge gaps identified and new research ideas developed. All will be collected in a white paper to come out in spring 2023.

Thank you so much to all presenters, technical staff, student helpers, the TTRN and the Novo Nordisk Foundation for supporting the conference.

Results from LOVOT study published

Af

Results from study with persons with dementia and the social robot LOVOT has been published in the international journal: JMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies.

LOVOTs

The conclusion of the study is:

  • The LOVOT robot is the next generation of social robots with advanced artificial intelligence.
  • The vast majority of persons with dementia accepted the social robot LOVOT.
  • LOVOT had positive effects, opened up communication, and facilitated interpersonal interaction.
  • Although LOVOT did not create noticeable effects on social well-being, it gave individual persons a respite from everyday life.
  • Some residents were overstimulated by emotions after interacting with LOVOT.
  • Health care professionals accepted the social robot and view LOVOT as a new tool in the work with persons with dementia.

Ny artikel om sundhedskompetencer i Future Patient projektet

Af

Hjerteportalen.dk er en digital værktøjskasse med information om sygdommen hjertesvigt, 80 videoer med patienter og pårørende, dialog funktion med sundhedsprofessionelle på tværs af sektorer og modul til at vise data (skridt, vægt, blodtryk, puls og søvn).

Nye resultater fra forskningsprojektet Future Patient – Telerehabilitering af hjertesvigtspatienter viser, at Hjerteportalen kan:

  • Øge patienternes digitale sundhedskompetencer
  • Øge motivation
  • Øge patienternes evne til at engagere sig i digitale medier ifm. håndtering af egen sygdom

Det er en forudsætning, at teknologien er designet til at understøtte patientbehov med hensyn til uddannelsesindholdet i programmet, og at teknologien er tilgængelig fortrinsvis tidligt i rehabiliteringsprocessen for at sikre et optimalt resultat.

Du kan læse om de nye forskningsresultater i den videnskabelige artikel (på engelsk):
Increased motivation for and use of digital services in heart failure patients participating in a telerehabilitation program: a randomized controlled trial.

Støtte fra Hjerteforeningen til nyt forskningsprojekt

Af

Vi vil gerne takke Hjerteforeningen mange gange for økonomisk støtte på 4.306.000 kr til forskningsprojektet: Future Patient – telerehabilitering af patienter med atrieflimren (AF).

I projektet vil patienter med AF gennemgå et online samt et fysisk uddannelsesforløb. Uddannelsesforløbet vil bl.a. bestå af et monitoreringsmodul ved brug af teknologier til måling af fx blodtryk, hjerterytme, puls, skridt og søvn samt et rehabiliteringsmodul. Formålet med projektet er at øge patienternes livskvalitet og give dem og deres pårørende viden samt redskaber til at håndtere livet med atrieflimren. Projektet løber fra 1.september til 31. december 2025, og der skal inkluderes 208 patienter i et lodtrækningsforsøg. Patienter og pårørende vil have en aktiv rolle gennem hele projektet gennem et brugerpanel.

Parter i projektet er: Hjerteafdelinger på Regionshospitalet i Viborg, Skive og Silkeborg; Sundhedscentre i Viborg, Skive og Silkeborg; Psykologisk Institut, Aarhus Universitet; CIMT, OUH; DTU; Dansk Center for Klinisk Sundhedstjeneste forskning, Aalborg Universitetshospital/AAU samt Laboratorie for Velfærdteknologi – Digital Sundhed & Rehabilitering, Sports Sciences & Performance, Institut for Medicin og Sundhedsteknologi på Aalborg Universitet

Vi glæder os til at komme i gang.
