As health care increasingly shifts from institutions to people’s homes\, digital technologies and innovative solutions play a crucial role in ensuring accessibility\, safety\, and quality of care. \nThe programme focuses on digital competence and innovation in health care\, bringing together students from health and social care\, informatics\, engineering\, and related disciplines. Through interdisciplinary collaboration\, you will explore how digital technologies can support person‑centred integrated care and contribute to sustainable health‑care systems. The on-site week is hosted by the University of Skövde\, with the Skaraborg Health Technology Center (SHC) as a central learning environment. \nHow you will learn\nLearning takes place through a blend of virtual collaboration and an intensive on-site week in Sweden. Before and after the on-site week\, you will participate in three structured online meetings where learning objectives are introduced\, interdisciplinary groups are formed\, and innovations are evaluated. \nThe core of the programme is multidisciplinary\, small-group work using a modified Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. Together with students from other disciplines and countries\, you will work on real health‑care challenges presented as cases or scenarios. Lectures and workshops provide theoretical grounding and practical tools related to digital health competence\, innovation\, and technology in care settings. \nDuring the on-site week\, experiential and simulation-based learning plays a key role. You will visit the Skaraborg Health Technology Center and take part in innovative simulations\, including experiencing ageing through an age suit in a digitally equipped\, highly accessible apartment. Site visits\, workshops\, and collaborative innovation activities culminate in student presentations and peer evaluation. \nCompetences you will develope\nBy participating in this BIP\, you will strengthen your digital health literacy and develop the ability to critically assess and apply digital technologies in health and social care contexts. You will gain experience in identifying problems in real-world health‑care settings and using innovation tools to design technology‑based solutions. \nThe programme emphasises interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teamwork\, helping you understand perspectives ranging from technology developers to end users of digital health solutions. You will also develop competences in international and intercultural collaboration\, critical thinking\, problem-solving\, and constructive peer feedback. These competences are highly relevant both for future studies and for professional roles in health care\, technology\, and innovation. \nLearning Outcomes\n\n \nAfter successful completion of the programme\, you will be able to: \n\nAssess your own digital health literacy and competence and identify areas for further development.\nReview existing digital technologies in health- and social care\, identify challenges\, and propose evidence-based and user-centred solutions.\nApply innovation tools and methods to address complex health‑care challenges using digital technology.\nCollaborate effectively in international and interdisciplinary teams across health and social care\, informatics\, and engineering.\nCritically evaluate digital health innovations and provide constructive feedback to peers.\n\nThese learning outcomes are assessed through individual assignments\, group innovation projects\, active participation in online and on-site activities\, student presentations\, and structured peer evaluation. \nBIP’s Programme\nVirtual component (online activities)\nStart date: End of September / beginning of October 2026   |   End date: after on-site week\, November 2026  \nSchedule / Contents:  \nOnline 1 — before the on-site week (end of September / beginning of October):  \n\nPresentation of learning objectives and course implementation \n\n\nStudents given two weeks to complete first assignment: presentation of their own field of study within their professional group \n\nOnline 2 — before the on-site week:  \n\nStudents divided into multidisciplinary small groups (these groups work together throughout the BIP) \n\n\nEach student presents their field of study; first assignments presented in small groups \n\n\nIndividual assignment: assessment of digital health literacy and competence \n\n\nInnovation resources provided for review before the on-site week \n\n\nFocus on practical arrangements for the on-site week \n\nOnline 3 — after the on-site week:  \n\nStudents evaluate their own innovations and those of others \n\n\nAcademic staff present their evaluations \n\n\nStudents provide feedback and development suggestions for improving the BIP \n\nPhysical component (on-site at University of Skövde) \nPeriod: 12-18 april 2027 \nProgramme / Contents:  \n\nIntroduction to AI as a decision-support tool (engineering\, medicine\, psychology) \nTeam-based applied tasks: theoretical/methodological approach followed by AI-assisted problem-solving phase \nCritical thinking techniques to compare\, evaluate and reflect on both approaches \n3D printing materialisation of final team solutions \nStructured teamwork\, guided discussions\, formal presentations\, and facilitated reflection sessions \nDocumented debriefing sessions (psychologist-led\, using structured self-reflection forms) \n\nDuration: 5 days = 40 hours of on-site activities  \nApplication requirements\nTo apply for this BIP you must: \n\nBe enrolled at one of the INGENIUM partner universities at the time of the programme.\nApply through your home (sending) institution.\nHave a sufficient level of English (typically B2 or equivalent).\nBe available to participate in both the virtual and physical components of the BIP.\nMeet any specific academic or eligibility requirements indicated for this programme.\n\nAs this BIP includes a physical mobility period hosted at HiS (Skövde\, Sweden)\, it is intended for students coming from other INGENIUM partner institutions.
