Japanese & Danish Research Network on Telehealth/Telerehabilitation and Welfare Technologies
Aims
- To increase the quality of life of patients/citizens with a chronic disease by the use of new technologies
- To ease the workflows of healthcare professionals in the work and collaboration with patients/citizens with a chronic disease
- To collaborate on developing, testing and evaluating new welfare technologies as well as digital health- & rehabilitation technologies between universities, hospitals, municipalities and industry in Japan and Denmark
- To facilitate the development of new products, methods, and solutions for diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation purposes in private/public partnerships between Japan and Denmark
- To facilitate exchange of Master- and Phd- students as well as younger and senior researcher between Japan and Denmark within health science and technologies

Scientific focus
The research focus on how to develop individualized innovative welfare -, as well as digital health & rehabilitation technologies and new health services that can lead to scalable and sustainable solutions.
The research is interdisciplinary (medical, technological, nursing, organizational, economically) and often in co-creation with patients, relatives, healthcare professionals and researchers.
Welfare technologies are defined as technologies for assisted living. Digital health & rehabilitation technologies are defined as technologies that uses informations- and communication technologies to transmit data from patients home to a healthcare professional.
In the JD TeleTech we will focus on next generation of technologies for eg. self-management of a chronic diseases based on wearables, Internet of Things (IoT), sensors technologies, VR, gamification etc. These technologies provide data in large numbers and therefore part of the research will also focus on datamining and designing algorithms/AI for the patients and healthcare professionals. Data security is part of the research as well.
