Overview

About the programme

The research in Applied Health Technology at Blekinge Institute of Technology comprises studies of people in states of both health and illness, after an injury, with disabilities, and with special needs, as well as studies of how technology can support and develop health, healthcare and nursing.

The researchers also study the processes, methods, diagnostics or treatments that alleviate symptoms, focusing on understanding, strengthening, supporting and compensating people in different health situations, in different contexts and using different methods.

An important part of the research is interaction in the form of communication, cooperation, and learning, which demonstrate the multidisciplinary perspective that characterises the field.
