Digitalisation of healthcare and social services that makes a real difference
Sweden's healthcare system is facing major challenges. Healthcare costs are rising sharply, the number of hospital beds is decreasing, staff are overworked, and the population is ageing. Chronic diseases account for 80 per cent of healthcare costs, yet the systems are designed for emergency care rather than preventive healthcare. Many digital solutions are tested but never implemented in practice, and different systems are unable to communicate with each other.
RISE supports municipalities, regions, and businesses in transitioning to future healthcare and social care. We carry out needs analyses, lead implementation projects, and develop AI solutions for areas ranging from diagnostics to mental health. We certify digital safety alarms and person-centred care, ensure privacy protection for health data, and establish innovation partnerships that bring together municipalities, companies, and researchers. With our broad interdisciplinary expertise and long-term understanding of systems, we can help you to navigate technical and organisational changes.
