  HealthHACK brought together students from the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design to solve real and unsolved problems faced by the municipal health service.

  The students gained insight into real issues in the municipal health service, and used creative problem solving to find the solutions. The solutions were presented in front of a jury at Oslo City Hall.

• Seminar: Use of 3D scanners and 3D printers in rehabilitation and activity aids 2 May

  The aim of the seminar was to bring together individuals with expertise, interest and curiosity in the use of 3D printing and 3D scanning in rehabilitation and treatment.

  Master's students from ACIT at OsloMet have collaborated with Sunnaas Hospital on exciting projects. At the seminar, the students presented their projects that focused on the use of 3D technology for developing ortroses.

  The seminar brought together relevant partners to showcase the students' work and to facilitate further collaboration between OsloMet, the public sector and industry.

• Personalized medicine in the health service

  Intelligent health invited employees at OsloMet to a seminar on omics and personalized medicine in the health service. The seminar gave an insight into what omics technology is and how the technology can be used and applied in health science research projects.

  Nils Olav Refsdal, political scientist and deputy director in the section for competence, research and innovation in the Ministry of Health and Care, presented the government's strategy for personalized medicine.

  Researchers in the omics environment at OsloMet have adopted omics technology presented the purpose of the project, why omics technology is important for the project and what significance the results of the research project have for a personalized healthcare service.
