eHealth
eHealth is the use of information and communication technologies to support health. This encompasses any digital technology that enhances health and healthcare delivery, including AI tools, wearable devices, and smartphone apps.
Trusted digital solutions for better health
ELLLA accelerates responsible digital innovation in healthcare by aligning new technology with what patients and clinicians need.
ELLLA is the eHealth Living & Learning Lab Amsterdam.
New technology–from websites and apps to advanced AI–is creating more and more opportunities and challenges for healthcare.
ELLLA brings people together to develop, implement and evaluate digital solutions for patients, healthcare professionals and systems.
Living
Clinicians, patients and consumers use eHealth tools. Digital solutions must meet their needs. So, testing and validating solutions with users in lab and real-world settings is essential. Data-driven insights build evidence, trust and drive adoption.
Learning
Technology and healthcare are both complex fields. Developers and healthcare professionals need to understand both fields to create and implement trusted digital solutions for better health. Today’s students are tomorrow’s agents of change.
