Do you want to try something new – and help improve the quality of life for citizens and chronic patients?
Are you generally interested in your health and the possibilities of using new technology? Do you want better control over your own health – from home? That you can share your health data safely? Do you have a chronic disease or are you a relative of someone with a chronic disease?
Then you can take part in testing a new solution in the Crane project!
You will get equipment such as blood pressure monitor, scale and fitness activity monitor – and the measurements are recorded in an app. You’ll be given good guidance on how to use the equipment and get to keep it afterwards. *
*Excluding mobile phones if you borrow them.
What is the Crane project?
Crane is an EU-funded project that is testing new technology to make it easier to monitor your own health from home.
The aim is:
- To give you better control and peace of mind around your health
- That you can share health data safely – only with those you choose
- Health services learn more about what works well for them
The project is part of being run regionally in various EU states.
Why do we need you?
Many people want to have better control over their own health and data, or those with chronic illnesses want more support to monitor their health in everyday life. With new technology, we can give you more tools and opportunities – right at home.
In the Crane project, you get both equipment and guidance. And your experience will help us make our services even better for others in the future.
