Key Research Area: Health and wellbeing

Health and wellbeing is one of Aalto University’s seven key research areas. The university has a strong, decades-long track record in health and wellbeing (H&W), in both research results and in facilitating adoption and commercialization. Indeed, at Aalto University, the basic research results that we pursue are being developed into innovations, applications, and services for end users, with several notable success stories, including from the earliest decades of H&W research. In this way, we are constantly making efforts to respond to societal needs.

Within our internal health and wellbeing (H&W) community, we have the following clusters of expertise. 

• Devices and related methods and analytical tools
• Neuroscience
• Bio- and chemical technologies
• AI and data science
• Architecture, buildings, and design
• Management and economics

The pages linked from above describe each expertise cluster and list the professors primarily associated with that cluster.

The Aalto Networking Platform brings together our researchers and external parties for multidisciplinary collaboration in the area of health and wellbeing.
