Topic B:

Health Technology and Health Literacy in Health Promotion

Lecture

Exhibitor:

Pirkko Kouri, PhD, Principal Lecturer in Healthcare Technology Savonia UAS

Info:

Modern health promotion increases individual control over person’s own health. Health promotion covers different interventions that benefit and protect health and daily quality of life by tackling disparities in health. Technology is a keen part of health promotion and makes healthcare more personalized and precise. In order to cope with enormous and available health information people need knowledge and skills to obtain and understand information and to make healthy choices e.g. the food they eat and healthcare services they need. Both patients and health care professionals often lack adequate knowledge about health literacy. Health literacy should be common competence.
