Demography and Democracy – Healthy Ageing in a Digital World (HAIDI)

In the HAIDI research project, the aim is to counteract health disparities and digital divides in the Nordic countries due to digitalisation and the ageing populations. The project builds on multi-methodology and comparative analysis and consists of three sub studies. First, the project will critically investigate the digitalisation media discourse  in three Nordic countries (DK, SWE and FIN). Second, in each three country we will interview citizens aged 75 and above to explore their uses and non-uses of digital technology:  what kind of digital (and non-digital) health information /services they turn to in their everyday life, what kind of devices and software they are familiar with, and feel confident using. Third, we will interview professionals in municipal home care and in nursing homes settings to gain knowledge on opportunities as well as constraints of using digital technology in the interaction with their clients.

The project is hosted by Lund University.
