Patient@Home
Patient@Home was the largest welfare technological research and innovation project in Denmark. During the course of the project, 40 new products and services were to be developed.
PROJECT PERIOD
Start: January 2012
End: January 2018
The products and services were intended to support the increasing need within the health sector for i.a. better and faster rehabiliation, more outpatient treatments and the admission of patients to their private home.
The development of new services was carried out through an interdisciplinary and public-private collaboration between health personnel, private companies and research institutions.
AIM
During the course of the project, OUH initiated and concluded a wide range of projects – i.a. fast track projects that, as the name implies, can be initiated and concluded quickly, typically within 6-9 months. An example of a fast track project is Google Glass, where already developed technology was tested in a hospital context.
Additional projects at OUH during Patient@Home were i.a.:
- Hospital at Home
- Identification of High-risk Patients
- Monitoring of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Mobile Healthcare Technologies for Patients with Osteoporosis
EXTERNAL FUNDING
The project received funding from Syddansk Vækstforum and the Innovation Fund.
