Oulu is known for being at the forefront of technology innovation. It is a hub for research and development in the fields of digital health and wireless communications. The electronic health records, telemedicine and mobile health services has been in clinical use for more than 25 years. There is active research aiming not only towards new territories like AI, novel sensor technology and edge computing, but also striving for scientific assessment of the impact of these innovations in real life.

This event will be an excellent opportunity for professionals, researchers, and industry leaders to discuss and share insights on the latest developments. The current trends will be discussed with invited lectures as well as submitted papers and posters. The keynotes will cover a wide Nordic and International perspective to these topics.
