2004.06.29 av Jan-Are Kolset Johnsen

Technological development, in the health sector as in other areas, is often driven by assumptions or conditions that do not make allowances for the fact that people have different needs and wishes. So a survey of people's differences as patients could provide insight into how we should organize technological health services.

Patient styles can be seen in the context of the development in the way we think about the relationship between doctor and patient, explained Professor Bas Verplanken during his presentation at the Tromsø Telemedicine and eHealth Conference.
