CAISR Health
CAISR Health is a research profile within information driven care at Halmstad University, where research on the development of AI tools meet research on how these tools can be implemented in healthcare.
CAISR Health is a cross diciplinary research profile, gathering three research environments at Halmstad University. The research is carried out in close collaboration with Region Halland and Swedish companies. The abbreviation CAISR stands for Center for Applied Intelligent Systems Research which is a research center at Halmstad University that is strongly connected to the profile.
Objective of CAISR Health
The availability of data is changing rapidly in healthcare. Descriptive data analytics and machine learning technologies will have a huge impact on healthcare operations in a near future. In Sweden, Region Halland was first to act on this and gather and successfully synchronize all their healthcare data and creating an organisation for using this data to improve healthcare operations. This has contributed to excellent results: over the last 4-5 years the healthcare system of Region Halland has shown a remarkable increase in efficiency while maintaining top level quality and access to care. Yet, there are challenges, and a key challenge is understanding implementation; what are best practices for creating impact with information-driven healthcare, to get solutions into the system and for changing how people work? There are also opportunities. The development with information driven care opens international business opportunities. Digital services can be developed for an international market, not just the national, and skills and methods can be exported (and imported). Global business investments in healthcare and IT are therefore growing quickly.
CAISR Health will focus on understanding the information driven healthcare system and build up knowledge about the whole chain – from formulating and prioritising questions, to developing algorithms, collecting data and enable engagement, explainability and implementation. To do this, CAISR Health will work along four dimensions:
- Research
- Data infrastructure
- Industrial cooperation and innovation
- Education and increased competence
CAISR Health will aid Region Halland in maintaining a leading position in Sweden, and our industry partners to be forerunners in information-driven care infrastructure.

More information
CAISR Health is connected to the research center CAISR (Center for Applied Intelligent Systems Research), which is a long-term research program on intelligent systems established by Halmstad University.
Center for Applied Intelligent Systems Research, CAISR
CAISR Health gathers researcher from three research environments at Halmstad University, Embedded and Intelligent Systems (EIS), Center for Research on Welfare, Health and Sport (CVHI) and Center for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Learning research (CIEL). The research profile CAISR Health is a strong complement to the University's profile area Health Innovation as well as Halland’s joint innovation center for information driven care, Leap for Life.
