Abstract

Technology, or more specifically digitalization, has had a profound effect on industry regardless of the field of business. It has changed the way individuals interact, work and go about their everyday businesses. This, still ongoing change, calls for new kind of professionals who can meet the challenges placed by the changing industry. Health care is one of the areas where digitalization has the most profound effect. It does not only change the way people work, but it also changes the underlying balance of power between different actors. The domain is also an inherently hybrid one as the professionals need to understand what is in the crux of technology and care, between the patient and the professional. In the following, a pilot focused on educating professionals in the field of eHealth in industry-oriented fashion is described focusing on the process and people; stages leading to actual lectures. The result of the examination is a process that can be used in developing industry-oriented education in a domain where expectations are currently high around the globe, and challenges placed on the educators are in a constant flux.
