The relation to the University College's strategic research initiative "The Digital Society"
Researchers in the DeveLeP-group connects with the strategic research initiative, The Digital Society, at Ostfold University College in various ways. Some of the topics are artificial intelligence in health and in society at large, challenges concerning social robotics in health and in society at large, robotics as a way of means in educational settings. Another part of research involves investigations of new intervention technology for persons with psychiatric conditions and persons with special education needs, involving for instance internet-based therapy for persons with depression and Virtual Reality interventions for autistic people. Our research group members collaborate interdisciplinary with each other on various projects related to educational-, health related-, and technological- advancements doing both basic ground research and applied research.
