Interprofessional European eHealth Programme in Higher Education

eHealth is a priority for EU members. Technology can encourage preventive health, help citizens manage their health and healthcare, and reduce healthcare burden and usage. 

The project “Interprofessional European eHealth Programme in Higher Education” (eHealth4all@EU) addresses the high demand for competent and confident eHealth professionals. This collaborative, multi-disciplinary European project aims to develop, implement, and evaluate an interprofessional eHealth training programme for postgraduate students – the next generation of professionals – in higher education.
