AboutAbout the lab
Making communication a pillar of public health.
The lab teaches and conducts research under the theme of making communication a pillar of public health.
Its interests include not only communication between doctors and patients, but also peer support, communication and collaboration with AI, and the influence of culture on health communication.
The lab also teaches practical exercises in qualitative research, which students in medical programs rarely have the chance to learn. Each student carries out research on a topic of their own interest.
