Abstract:
Bitcoin served as the catalyst for creating a solution to secure digital transactions without requiring a trusted third party to be involved. To solve this problem, the mechanisms now associated with a Blockchain were conceptualized and implemented to serve as the backbone for the Bitcoin network. More specifically, it was used as a security tool making Bitcoin a more transparent and reliable form of cash, a digital cryptographic currency. Even tough Bitcoin ended up not fulfilling its intended purpose as a currency, the Blockchain technology has enabled further avenues for innovation and crea

Wearable technology research has led to advancements in healthcare and athletic performance. Devices range from one size fits all fitness trackers to custom fitted devices with tailored algorithms. Because these devices are comfortable, discrete, and pervasive in everyday life, custom solutions can be created to fit an individual's specific needs. In this dissertation, we design wearable sensors, develop features and algorithms, and create intelligent feedback systems that promote the advancement of healthcare and athletic performance.

Sverige är ett av de mest framträdande digitaliserade länderna inom EU. Men vissa sektorer har hamnat efter i digitaliseringsprocessen, en av dem är sjukvården. Sjukvården är en av de mest informationsintensiva sektorerna i det svenska samhället, det är kritiskt att IT-systemen är sammanhållna och kommunicerande med varandra, s.k. interoperabla. Just där brister sjukvårdens IT-system idag, men sjukvården som organisation brister också i att ha någon form av enhetlig standard för hur vårdinformation ska dokumenteras.

This thesis seeks to improve the ways in which healthcare professionals can monitor and treat ulcers using mobile technology. The work focuses on designing a well rounded user experience which is usable in a professional setting. The design presented in the work is based on established design rules and guidelines. The design is evaluated and verified using two usability evaluation methods. These methods are a heuristic evaluation and a cognitive walkthrough. The work also seeks to evaluate what impact user involvement in the development process has on the user experience. This is done using a

Abstract:
The area of healthcare has a lot of challenges and restrictions when it comes to design. There is no access to one of the users. A research on this topic resulted in the creation of Robbi – an interactive toy that supports communication between a child and psychologist during their therapy sessions.Children (patients) as stakeholders are a very vulnerable party of this project and as they were not involved in the process directly; there was no opportunity for intervention, observation or action research. When the therapeutic session is happening, the setting of the environment has to be as com

Abstract:
The demand for increased efficiency and patient-centered care has been influencing the development of healthcare in Sweden, and information technology has an important role in that process. Developing and implementing systems for public healthcare have proven to be a great challenge. One way to address this challenge is open innovation and co-creation. While there are a lot of studies focusing on innovation processes, there is little research regarding how technology is presented in the results. We have studied a co-creational workshop that focused on putting new perspectives on the use of inf

Abstract:
Falls often cause devastating injuries which precipitate hospital and long-term care admission and result in an increased burden on health care services. Fall prevention interventions are used to overcome fall risk factors in an ageing population. There is an increasing need for technology-assisted interventions to reduce health care costs, whilst also lessening the burden that an ageing population increasingly has on health care services. Research efforts have been spent on reducing intrinsic fall risk factors (i.e. functional ability deficits and balance impairments) in the older adult popul

Abstract:
Information security has significant role in Healthcare organizations. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) with patient’s information is considered as very sensitive in Healthcare organization. Sensitive information of patients in healthcare has to be managed such that it is safe and secure from unauthorized access. The high-level quality care to patients is possible if healthcare management system is able to provide right information in right time to right place. Availability and accessibility are significant aspects of information security, where applicable information needs to be available a

Abstract:
The patient is the only person who experiences the complete course of a healthcare problem, from first symptom to any contacts with the healthcare system to examination, treatment, follow-up activities and rehabilitation. The aim of this thesis is to explore how caregivers, together with patients, can draw on the knowledge patients acquire from their experiences in healthcare service development. This represents a break with the traditional role of the patient, which has been one of a passive receiver of care, following a supplier-centered view on value creation, which has increasingly been ch
