RSN Research

Innovation through Interdisciplinary Research

In the rapidly evolving world of healthcare, the RSN creates links between the academic communities working in digital health at several universities and through a unique transdisciplinarity. This transdisciplinary approach is crucial to positioning digital health as an emerging new discipline at the confluence of several others. Through networking, the RSN aims to disseminate the best digital health research practices supported by its founding principles, through training courses on citizen and patient engagement, open science and trusted digital technologies. The RSN works with other networks and institutions to offer interdisciplinary training, based on EDIA principles, with respect for real-life experience, and in modes that promote accessibility, to train a student body capable of understanding the technical, ethical and strategic issues in digital health.
