The U-CARE Platform is
a digital platform that can be used

00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:08.600
to design and deliver
internet-based interventions.

00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:10.600
It is used by researchers

00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:15.320
within U-CARE and in other
research groups across Sweden.

00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:20.400
Data collected via the U-CARE Platform
are handled in a secure manner

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:22.920
and in accordance
with Swedish legislation.

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:28.800
The use of digital technologies such as
the U-CARE Platform for healthcare research

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.720
has increased rapidly over recent years.

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:36.160
Healthcare interventions themselves
can be delivered via the internet.

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:43.480
Also, we can carry out and design
research using digital technologies.

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:50.560
For example, we can facilitate online
consent, online data collection,

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.600
and use reminders

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.480
to help people to remember
to provide us with research data.

00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:00.920
The U-CARE Platform provides
tools for researchers to design

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.880
internet-based interventions.
These interventions are developed in collaboration

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.360
with healthcare professionals, researchers,
patients, system designers, and the public.

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.200
The U-CARE Platform
is designed to be flexible.

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.640
That enables
collaborative design activities,

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:26.200
which increase usability, acceptability,
and feasibility of healthcare research

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.000
conducted via the Platform.

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.320
The U-CARE Platform can be used by
any researcher in Sweden

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:36.240
who is interested in
carrying out digital healthcare research.

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:38.800
For example, maybe you're interested in

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:42.680
designing and testing
an internet-based intervention,

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:48.760
or carrying out another type of online research,
for example online questionnaires.

00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:52.040
If you are interested in using the U-CARE Platform,

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.720
you would work closely
with our Platform development team

00:01:55.720 --> 00:01:59.720
in order to develop a solution
that best fits your needs.

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.160
If you are interested
in the U-CARE Platform,

00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:04.880
feel free to contact us.
