Partners got practical examples in Finland See an inspiring video clip on Connected for Health in YouTube!
Elina Manninen In February 2016 the Connected for Health partners had a partnership meeting and a seminar in Finland. The first day was spent in city of Alavus, where especially the wound nurse explained how she has been working in the pilot. The distance care model created during the pilot has been successful and will be most probably maintained in the organization’s normal practices. The second day and the seminar were held in Seinäjoki, in the Health Technology Centre Mediwest. After the se-
minar the partners could join a tour in the central hospital of South Ostrobothnia Health Care District (SOHCD). SOHCD has been one piloting partner, and developing especially a distance care model for diabetes patients. South Ostrobothnia Health Technology Development Centre (EPTEK) has its office in Mediwest, Seinäjoki. EPTEK has been in charge of all the four pilots of the project, of which one has been conducted in Sweden, two in South Ostrobothnia Finland and one in Denmark.
The Connected for Health YouTube -video clip was finalized during April 2016 and it was launched under the lead partner’s, Regional Council of South Ostrobothnia, YouTube channel.
