This year, we again meet NORCE researcher and NKLM leader Jesper Blinkenberg (second from the left) at Arendalsuka. Together with moderator Stig Arild Pettersen (far left) and Marte Kvittum Tangen from the Norwegian Association for General Practice (fourth from the left), this year's focus is on elderly care and the advent of artificial intelligence.

Elderly people are significant users of healthcare services. So how can we use health data to target and tailor these services?

In Agder, we are testing whether available health data can be used to predict which elderly individuals will become heavy users of healthcare services, and we have project leaders from both Agder and Kristiansand municipality and the hospital administration with us.

Can artificial intelligence applied to health data help us tailor services for the elderly? - Arendalsuka

From NORCE, we also have Marit Stordal Bakken (NKLM) and CEO Camilla Stoltenberg, who have a strong commitment to the access and use of health data.

On Wednesday, we will debate the education system. Among those coming to discuss how we solve the problems in schools are Minister of Education Kari Nessa Nordtun, Director of Education Morten Rosenkvist, and Acting Children's Ombudsman Ivar Stokkereit.
