Our mission is to improve well-being of mankind. We focus on the whole life span of a man, ranging from neonatal care to the elderly care. The Internet of Things (IoT) based applications and devices can be used to improve the quality of life, health and well-being of mankind. Our IoT4Health research group coordinated at University of Turku focuses on developing new approaches and complete systems to create more efficient and reliable healthcare approaches to advance current state-of-the-art healthcare.
