Goals
- We are an academic centre specializing in digital health. We generate, transmit and share knowledge, taking an interdisciplinary approach with the aim of promoting and improving individual and collective health and well-being, based on scientific evidence.
- We conduct research into the use of digital technologies to meet health goals. We investigate how digitalization can contribute to more robust health systems and better trained professionals.
- We believe individuals must take a leading role in managing their health. With the right information they are able to determine what they need to improve their well-being.
- We're looking for partners to help us accelerate the paradigm shift in health. Do you carry out research in digital health or, as a professional, are you interested in how tech can support healthcare?
