About focus area Health Innovation
Health concerns us all, and the health challenges that society is facing must be solved by collaboration between multiple societal actors. Public organisations, industry, non-governmental organisations and representatives from different target groups need to contribute with different perspectives. The academic world has a big responsibility to produce and ensure knowledge regarding health challenges, the needs among target groups and prerequisites for different solutions. Halmstad University is working to take on this responsibility through research, education and collaboration.
The focus area’s two directions
Personalized Proactive Care
Swedish healthcare is facing several important challenges. It is about being able to meet demands for equal care, good medical quality, availability, and cost-effectiveness. The focus area direction Personalized Proactive Care meets these challenges through the development and implementation of information-driven care. The integration of competence in AI, data infrastructure, impact evaluation, health economics and implementation contribute to multidisciplinary research that provides the conditions for success in developing and implementing new solutions, which contributes to a more personalized and proactive way of working in health care.
Movement4Health
The direction Movement4Health includes research, education and collaboration on sustainable physical activity, exercise-based rehabilitation and health-promoting lifestyles and sports. The University is as a long-term partner for the development of treatment and rehabilitation in physical and mental illness, health-promoting educational environments in schools and sports, as well as interventions and models for motivation and promotion of healthy lifestyles.
Two focus areas
Health innovation is one of two university-wide focus areas at Halmstad University. The second focus area is Smart Cities and Communities.
