An upcoming online workshop organised by KOHS on 13th June 2024 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of various disciplines that are working on concepts to enable the transition of European societies towards healthy and active life. The workshop’s concept is designed as a primer for a new format of collaboration.

Healthcare systems in Europe are in transition. Integration of innovative processes in primary care, competence improvement strategies and the use of technology will be the key for this change.

Together with partners in research and practice, KOHS has being developing a new format of interdisciplinary collaboration. The idea is to foster activities in communities of healthcare, ergonomics, occupational health, and technology research. First trials have been performed at the ConTEL conference (organised by TU Graz) in combination with a CEEPUS summer school.

Topics of the workshop will be actual demands in health care (secondary users), applications of technology to meet these demands, technology (focusing on open platforms and open source), integrated processes to enable co-working on health of primary users and the health of healthcare workers, and challenges for healthcare organisations and occupational health (tertiary users).

Particularly welcome to the workshop are people active in healthcare, ergonomics, occupational health, and technology research interested in working on integrated processes and integrated pathways in social systems.

• The workshop will take place online on June 13th 2024. Watch this space for more details of how to register and join in!
