eHealth Research Laboratory in Agder

The ?eHealth Research Laboratory in Agder? (eHRLA) is to be established at University of Agder in the new University Campus Grimstad in 2010, as an open platform and infrastructure simulating advanced health care systems/services and national health networks. In order to develop and carry out empirical trials the evaluations of new eHealth solutions can be done under realistic but controlled conditions not interfering with patient treatment and actively running health care services. The lab will contain solutions for hospitals, nursing homes and patients home or ?smart house? solutions, and can simulate inte-grated situations involving close collaboration and teamwork between different health care sectors and levels, as well as solutions for older people.
