RESEARCH PROJECTS

Digitalization for Disaster Response Mission

The climate crisis lurks in the background and steadily instills disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides, and cyclones. This research project examines how technology can be designed and implemented to support activated disaster response organizations in their operations.

• Digital Transformation, Platforms & Innovation

Digitalization of Healthcare Services

The healthcare sector is undergoing a major digital transformation due to rapidly changing demographic populations. This project examines the design, implementation, and usage of digital technology among healthcare workers in hospital settings.
