Spår: Panel Digitalisation & eHealth
As health systems embrace remote care, both calls and digital contacts, evaluating their real-world effectiveness and patient experience is essential. This panel examines the opportunities and challenges of conducting trials in remote person-centred care, some of which are unique to this type of intervention where co-creation and personalized pathways are central. Bringing together researchers, clinicians, and patients, the discussion will cover opportunities, challenges, and methodological considerations related to participation, intervention design, digital literacy, and maintaining engagement at a distance. Attendees will gain practical insights into designing and running rigorous studies that advance remote person-centred care.
The panel will be moderated by Hanna Gyllensten, Associate Professor, involved with the GPCC’s focus area directed towards Development, adaptation and evaluation of person-centred care; who will guide the discussion to highlight key learnings, gaps, and future directions.
Perspectives include Inger Ekman, RN, Professor at University of Gothenburg, brings experience of initiating and leading several trials examining the effects of remote person-centred care.
Jesper Poucette, MD, brings the perspective of a healthcare professional and experiences of using remote support both in direct contact with patients and in team both for planning in care and treatment.
Carl-Johan, Assistant Professor, brings the experience of being both a researcher and a patient representative involved in developing and evaluating remote care initiatives.
Vasiliki Mylonopoulou, Associate Professor, with a background in Human-Computer Interaction and a focus on the inclusion of relevant actors in the design of digital health applications and services, brings her perspectives from international, local, and interdisciplinary projects on the subject.
The panel will open with brief introductions, followed by a moderated discussion on the practical steps, opportunities, and challenges of conducting and evaluating remote person-centred care trials, from multiple perspectives.
Co-author: Zahra Ebrahimi, RN, PhD, brings experience of conducting remote person-centred care with older persons living with frailty.
