Can e-Health interventions help?

On the occasion of the appointment of Professor Matthew Burg as Adjunct Professor in Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine and Professor Per Carlbring as Adjunct Professor in eHealth, Specialized in eMental Health at the Department of Psychology, University of Southern Denmark, the Faculty of Health Sciences hereby invites you to attend the inaugural seminar on Wednesday 26 September – 14.00-16.00 (CEST) in U42, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Campusvej 55, 5230 Odense M.
Worldwide, a subset of patients with somatic disease – 20% of patients with cardiovascular disease, 10-30% of patients with diabetes mellitus, and 20% of patients with cancer – suffer from co-morbid depression and anxiety. Co-morbid depression and anxiety have consequences not only for patients’ quality of life, compliance, and prognosis, but also for their families and society at large due to increased health care costs. In many countries, including Denmark, we are far from implementing systematic screening and treatment for this subset of at-risk patients with co-morbid somatic and psychological disease, referred to as "double trouble" in the seminar.
The Faculty of Health Sciences would like to invite all interested persons to attend the seminar and the following reception. For particulars – see the attached program. Driving directions.
If you wish to participate, we kindly ask you to register here no later than September 20, 2018. For further information or questions, please contact department secretary Mette Bach Moesgaard at mbmoesgaard@health.sdu.dk.
All interested parties are welcome.
