The CONNECTINGHEALTH (Connecting the dots between digital health innovation ecosystems) project has the overall objective of fostering interconnected and inclusive innovation ecosystems across Europe and maximising the value of innovation in the digital health sector, with a longterm and sustainable vision. The intended audience of CONNECTINGHEALTH is the public-atlarge and all stakeholders that influence and interact with digital health. To achieve the project’s objective, CONNECTINGHEALTH has aimed at identifying and engaging a wide range of stakeholders from governments, industry, academia and society in the development of a multiyear action plan for a sustainable and thriving digital health sector in Europe. The first step in this mission was the mapping of key stakeholders of CONNECTINGHEALTH.
For this mission, the project partners of CONNECTINGHEALTH joined forces and together with the help of digital health ecosystems across Europe, produced a comprehensive list of 170 key stakeholders, representing a wide range of stakeholders from the digital health field from 13 countries. Further, the objective of WP5 was to engage the other project stakeholders in WP2, WP3, WP4 and WP6 to ensure that the project’s efforts were sustainable, inclusive, and had meaningful impact.
The aim of this particular deliverable was to provide a comprehensive description of the stakeholder mapping activities in the CONNECTINGHEALTH project. Recognising the crucial role
of digital health stakeholders in driving innovation, the project aims to actively involve them in shaping desirable outcomes, aligning with its overarching objective of fostering interconnected
and inclusive innovation ecosystems in Europe’s digital health sector. As the initial step in this process, the deliverable highlights the mapping of key stakeholders. Overall, this deliverable
provides valuable insights into the stakeholder mapping efforts within the CONNECTINGHEALTH project, highlighting the collaborative approach and the significance of stakeholders in achieving the overall project objectives. This deliverable also highlights the interrelation between other work packages and project’s outputs, emphasizing the cross-cutting nature of the stakeholder activities in CONNECTINGHEALTH.
