SRDG feasibility study - Ehealth: Addressing Evaluation, Implementation and Integration (HAVEN)

This project involves partners from CRH, the Universities of Glasgow and Dundee, the Scottish Centre for Telehealth and the Scottish School of Primary Care. The overall aim is to develop a clear strategy for collaborative e-health implementation and evaluation research and the creation of an internationally recognised centre of excellence in e-health research. This will be achieved by:  

  • Engaging with e-Health user communities, namely policymakers, NHS professionals, the public, patients and carers (and their official representatives), and industry to help identify user needs.
  • Mapping and evaluating what research has been undertaken in Scotland in this sphere together with the conclusions of previous systematic reviews in the field of e-Health undertaken internationally in order to highlight research priorities.
  • Building a community spanning academics and NHS professionals that will be able to address the research needs of Scotland and the UK in this area which is strategically important for the future of contemporary healthcare services.
