Branding material Nordic White Paper: Smart Digital Health This white paper presents some of the smart digital health solutions developed and implemented in the Nordic countries. While these solutions cover a wide range of diseases, they have much in common: they help patients monitor and manage their own conditions; they improve treatment and diagnostics; and they facilitate cooperation, shared information, and shared decision-making between patients and healthcare professionals. The white paper is made under the Nordic Welfare Solutions project by the following partners: Business Finland, Swecare, Innovation Norway, Promote Iceland and Healthcare Denmark.
