eHealth Core Facility - our offer
The eHealth Core Facility represents a multidisciplinary team in eHealth with high international recognition and competence in health informatics, human computer interaction, internet-based psychological treatment, mobile devices-based lifestyle interventions, as well as standardization and integration of research data.
We support healthcare science researchers in building evidence-based eHealth applications.
We provide researchers within KI with the possibility to
- publish smartphone apps in App Store, under the developer Karolinska Institutet.
Once you have developed an iOS app, you need to publish it to Apple’s App Store in order for study participants or, after implementation, patients and other parts of the public to be able to download and use the app. If you have developed an app as part of a Karolinska Insitutet eHealth research project, you have the possibility to publish the app as an official "Karolinska Institutet development". This will ensure downloaders that the app has been developed and tested within KI.
