Creating better health - our digital health knowhow

Digital health solutions free up resources and help healthcare professionals to focus on what really matters - using expertise to care for patients and provide them the best care possible.

At the University of Oulu, we combine expertise from the fields of technology, medicine, and economy to develop research based future solutions for real life health and wellbeing needs and challenges. Join us in the creation of future digital health!

DigiHealth is a strategic profiling theme of the University of Oulu. We develop and validate novel digital technologies for data-driven health applications. With our strong expertise in medicine, wireless solutions, big data analytics and business we can respond to bottlenecks in health care and services. This is done through a wider uptake of eHealth solutions and via their interoperability and cost-efficiency.

DigiHealth includes Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, and Oulu Business School. There are over 40 principal investigators and more than 100 researchers linked to these disciplines.
