eHealth City Svendborg
In the municipality of Svendborg, the citizens of three specific streets will play a part in defining the health solutions of the future in the project eHealth City Svendborg.
PROJECT PERIOD
Start: October 2017
In the project, the usual development process was turned upside down. Typically, the hospital and municipality start out by defining in which areas new solutions should be developed, but this project took the citizens’ needs and ideas for the future healthcare system as a starting point.
The project encompassed three specific streets in Svendborg, and it focused on the citizens’ experiences and contact with the healthcare system. How do they experience contact with the municipality, doctors and the hospital? What should the healthcare system look like from a citizen’s perspective in order to support a healthy and active daily life for the citizens now and in the future?
AIM
The needs of the citizens formed the basis of new solutions, which were tested and developed in collaboration with the residents of the three streets, healthcare professionals and companies. The street laboratories were the starting point.
PARTNERS
The project was carried out in collaboration with the Municipality of Svendborg and the company Public Intelligence.
