About this position
Aalborg University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the AF-EMPOWER project, which focuses on digital education and empowerment for patients living with atrial fibrillation (AF) and related comorbidities.
AF is a common cardiovascular condition frequently associated with hypertension, heart failure, obesity, diabetes and sleep disorders. The project responds to patients' need for a better understanding of their condition and its management, while also addressing the psychological impact of AF and comorbidities.
The postdoc will coordinate and contribute to the co-design, prototyping, programming, feasibility testing and evaluation of a tailored digital educational and empowerment application for patients with AF, their relatives and healthcare professionals. The study will examine feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness compared with usual care.
The research brings together systemic innovation, psychosocial well-being, digital health literacy, health equity, behavioural science, patient empowerment, implementation science and mixed-methods evaluation. Responsibilities include data collection and analysis, dissemination of findings, coordination of the co-design process and collaboration across research and practice settings.
The researcher will work with patients and relatives, cardiology and citizens’ health departments at Regional Hospital Viborg and Silkeborg, municipalities, general practitioners, community organisations and interdisciplinary researchers. The position is affiliated with the Section of Public Health within Aalborg University's Department of Health Science and Technology, an environment combining engineering, medicine and health sciences with collaboration involving hospitals, industry and public-sector partners.
The project offers an opportunity to contribute to digital health innovation and patient-centred cardiovascular care in an international, interdisciplinary research community.
