Hälsoprogram

Hälsoprogram (Swedish for "health program") refers to a structured set of activities and services aimed at maintaining or improving health, preventing disease, and promoting well-being. They are implemented at national, regional, or local levels and span public health, primary care, schools, workplaces, and community programs.

Core elements include clearly defined goals, target populations, service components, coordination among providers, and monitoring and evaluation. Typical types include preventive programs (immunization campaigns, population screening, lifestyle interventions), chronic disease management programs, rehabilitation, and workplace wellness.

Digital health programs—telemedicine, e-health platforms, apps—are increasingly integrated. Implementation considerations include evidence-based design, accessibility, equity, privacy, consent, data protection, and cost-effectiveness. Evaluation measures include participation rates, coverage, risk-factor changes, disease incidence, and hospitalizations.

In Sweden, such programs are often coordinated by regional authorities and municipalities, but many are national initiatives. The term is broad and varies by context.
