Department of Health

The Department of Health is one of six departments in the Faculty of Engineering. It conducts research and education in health, health care and social care with the aim of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health.

Our activities are based on the perspective of citizens, patients and health professionals.

By integrating research, clinical practice and technical knowledge, we work to create the conditions for a better and healthier life.
