University of Tromsø (UiT)

The research in medical informatics and telemedicine at UiT mainly focuses on telemedicine systems for private homes and telecare/telehomecare systems, distributed electronic health record, electronic health surveillance, and automatic detection of malign melanoma.

Most of the projects are done in cooperation with, or closely connected to, the Norwegian Centre for Telemedicine, University Hospital of North Norway.

At the Department of Computer Science, the focus is on the construction of medical & telemedicine systems from a computer science perspective.

In addition to bachelor, masters and PhD degrees in computer science and statistics, the UiT offers a two years international master’s degree in telemedicine and ehealth.

We believe that TTL will strengthen the research in telemedicine at UiT as well as the relationship to industrial partner. Through extended international cooperation in TTL, UiT will be able to establish strong international connections to leading research groups in telemedicine and medical informatics.
