Beskrivelse
The double burden of disease where chronic diet related sicknesses coexist with undernutrition and infectious diseases has serious implications in both developed and developing economies. Both are faced with the consequences of modern sedentary lifestyle and this calls for new solutions. Both in China and in the Nordic countries the scientific community, private enterprises and the educational system are addressing these challenges through a new approaches to innovation governance. This paper reports on two examples of innovations in the field of new public health and builds on the insights from Food4Growth network program. The two cases are: 1. The dietary intake monitoring system (DIMS) and 2. the Data’n Devices (FoodTura) software development. It gives and account of how the 2 applications have been developed in cooperation between research, enterprise and education. It discusses some of the challenges related to partnership working and to converting and applying research findings and ideas for new intelligent devices in the food and nutrition area into commercial applications. It discusses how the partners have contributed to the progress of the innovation process. The network joins research groups from Aalborg University Copenhagen (AAU-CPH), Center for Nutrition and Intestinal (CET) from Aalborg University Hospital, JAMK University of Applied Sciences, University of Tromsø and Shanghai Fudan University and the Huadong Fudan University Hospital as well as the Zhongshan Fudan Hospital. The network builds on the idea of new public health and takes food and nutritional care at hospitals and in the community as its point of departure. The network uses a three layered model as its conceptual foundation: the patient sphere, the hospital sphere and the community sphere. The network aims at contributing to setting out an agenda for a Nordic Chinese dialogue on the directions of the welfare system in relation to better food, healthier eating and nutritional care using a new public health approach. It aims at discussing what kind of dimensions of empowerment can be applied at the individual as well as on the collective level in relation to food and nutritional care at the hospital and in the surrounding community.| Periode | 17 nov. 2014 |
