Under the pressure of demographic changes, the digital transformation of health care is one key element to ensure healthy and independent living. As a nurse, I work to recognize and realize our important contribution as a source of innovation and evidence based developments towards an effective transformation.
I am part of the first Sciana Cohort.
From today’s perspective I can say, that the collaboration within Sciana and impulses from so many exciting persons within this network was an unexpected huge resource and had a high impact on my career.
