As we continue advancing digital health, we must ensure it is accessible, usable, and meaningful for all. Because digital health without equity is just another barrier. #DigitalEquity #HealthLiteracy #InclusiveHealth #DigitalHealth #HealthInnovation #HealthForAll #HealthEquity

#HealthLiteracy is not a level, it is an experience! Health literacy isn’t something you “have” once and for all—it’s something you “live” in different ways depending on your situation. It’s relational, contextual, and deeply human. Health literacy level is one indicator, not the full picture.

Health literacy is for everyone, everywhere 🫶🏻

It’s World Health Day. I am reminded about how far we have come and how far we need to move to ensure health literacy is a shared value—and a strong foundation for better health for all. #WorldHealthDay #HealthLiteracy #PublicHealth #Empowerment #HealthEquity #OrganizationalHealthLiteracy

Are we getting immune to bad communication? People face challenges because information is not accessible, understandable, or applicable. Even worse, they may be prone to miscommunication. Health literacy is the vaccination against miscommunication. #HealthLiteracy #HealthLiteracyMatters

Nogle gange er jeg helt enig med Forbes 💪❤️🥃 www.forbes.com/sites/erikof...

Happy Thinking Day 🫶🏻

People-centered health has emerged as a powerful model for improving patient outcomes. But it’s a balancing act, requiring healthcare systems to juggle a range of factors. However, health literacy can play a pivotal role in helping balance the many competing demands of people-centred health.

Pleased to teach at #MCI with the mountains in Tyrol as back drop. Students explore societal well-being economy and its relevance for international welfare systems. And yes, we also dive into the role of health literate societies 😉 #healthliteracy

Health literacy is not a blaming game where patients and staff are seen as victims of ignorance. In turn, health literacy is about empowering people, organisations and societies to thrive. Applying a systemic approach can help you get on top of the game. #healthliteracy #systemchange

How does a health literate Denmark look like? Well, biking seems to be one of the answers when using AI to create an image of a healthy society in one of the happiest nations in the world 🇩🇰
