Tech2Heal

Connected Technology to support the Health of the Working Population in Northern Remote Areas

What we do

Tech2Heal aims to attain an enhanced comprehension of the reasons behind both absenteeism and early retirement due to poor well-being. Healthcare services that support employees in recovering and returning to work, such as occupational therapy and counselling, are increasingly under strain. These services are often difficult to access, costly, and underfunded. Tech2Heal aims to better understand the factors driving absenteeism and early retirement due to poor well-being.

Our approach

The project will use a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods, alongside technology that monitors work-life dynamics, to uncover key insights. Pilot programmes will be implemented to validate potential solutions.

The ultimate goals are to empower employees and self-employed individuals to live healthier lives for longer and to recommend appropriate changes to work and health policies.

A multidisciplinary team of technicians and clinicians brings diverse expertise to tackle these challenges.

By addressing common regional problems, the project facilitates the shared development and implementation of solutions across participating countries.
