The article frames digital health tools as ways to address workforce shortages, ageing populations, chronic illness, backlogs and budget pressure. It lists Norwegian strengths as home-based care, contactless monitoring/real-time data sharing, and AI for staffing, competencies and hospital logistics.

- Home-care examples: CheckWare collects patient-reported outcomes across health services; Dignio’s home devices measure vitals such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, glucose, weight and lung function, sending results to MyDignio for remote review by care staff. In hospitals, Vitalthings’ Guardian M10 monitors vital signs without contact sensors; DNV Imatis aggregates patient-record, sensor, logistics and HR data for mobile access; Sonitor’s real-time location system locates patients, staff and equipment.
- Workforce operations examples: Dossier Solutions consolidates staff competency/training records; SynPlan applies AI to forecast sick leave and budget needs and support shift planning.
