Research group
E-health, innovation and leadership (EHIL)
The research group aims to generate new knowledge with a focus on innovation in the health sector within clinical and educational development, digitization processes in the health sector and management in a context of change.
Research areas
In the clinical quality development group, we focus on producing evidence on current quality, planning and carrying out interventions/experiments and evaluating the effect of interventions. Clinical quality development also involves implementing best knowledge practices and assessing the quality and effect of the implementation. The knowledge produced will thus contribute to good quality and safety in health and care services. The group intends to create good synergies between the research, education and practice fields.

Marianne Stenbekk Thorkildsen (NTNU)E-health or digitization in the health sector is a thematically broad field of research where we focus on the information that the use of digital tools generates.
We continue to research how digital documentation and information is communicated in a clinical context, related to patients/users and to society as a whole.
We also work with the development of concrete solutions within welfare technology and digital distance monitoring. Further development of artificial intelligence for clinical use depends on good digital information elements obtained from the health sector, which we are working to both develop and obtain in our thematic group.
We do system development, system evaluation or technology assessment studies related to the testing and use of digital solutions both within welfare technology, digital distance monitoring and documentation and information exchange solutions.

Rapid technological development makes it possible to include modern technology and simulation as a pedagogical method in the education and training of students, nurses and healthcare personnel. This affects, among other things, theoretical and practical training phases (incl. practical studies) as well as the possibilities for developing and combining the various training phases.
There is an enormous need for research into the use of these educational/didactic tools in education and training processes for students, nurses and health personnel in order to make study programs more effective and attractive. This is the focus of our research and development projects, which are aimed both at university/school training and the practical field.
