The population of the remote Northern regions is ageing. Together with long distances, this poses challenges for health care and care of the elderly, and increases costs. The pandemic trained people to use remote connections and services, but demonstrated also which new needs and risks health care has to be prepared for. All this has also increased acceptability of new technological solutions amongst health care professionals and customers. Together with experts and stakeholders, the proposed project will identify new needs and technological solutions. In particular, the project will focus on identifying needs that could be met with IoT technology, on developmental needs of IoT technology and on seeking & disseminating applications already at market. The IoT technology can be used for versatile, real-time and cost-efficient remote monitoring of both health care clients and their surroundings, and of healthcare functions such as operation & location of devices. The project outputs will be a framework analysis of the results of some previous projects and their current applicability in the changed situation, a feasibility study of the project idea, a stakeholder mapping and securing their commitment. A network with balanced geographical representation and expertise will be assembled and an application for the main project will be written. The lead partner is a healthcare operator and a pioneering implementer of eHealth. Two partners are experienced developers of health care technology. The fourth partner, represented by a policy analyst, is from Maine, US, and one of the associate partners is from Arkhangelsk, Russia, enabling comparison of experiences from a larger area and strengthening impact of the project. Besides health technology companies, several health care providers are involved as associate partners and, when invited to join, stressed the importance and topicality of the topic, which speaks well for the impact of the future main project (English)
