The new project GATEKEEPER will be officially launched in Madrid on 23rd – 25th October. The project, funded by the Horizon 2020 programme, is coordinated by Medtronic Iberica and the Technical University of Madrid, while ECHAlliance is one of 43 partners (see the full list below).
The project will create a GATEKEEPER, that connects healthcare providers, businesses, entrepreneurs, elderly citizens and the communities they live in, in order to originate an open, trust-based arena for matching ideas, technologies, user needs and processes, aimed at ensuring healthier independent lives for the ageing populations. By 2022, GATEKEEPER will be embodied in an open source, European, standard-based, interoperable and secure framework available to all developers, for creating combined digital solutions for personalised early detection and interventions that (i) harness the next generation of healthcare and wellness innovations; (ii) cover the whole care continuum for elderly citizens, including primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, chronic diseases and co-morbidities; (iii) straightforwardly fit “by design” with European regulations, on data protection, consumer protection and patient protection (iv) are subjected to trustable certification processes; (iv) support value generation through the deployment of advanced business models based on the VBHC paradigm.
GATEKEEPER will demonstrate its value by scaling up, during a 42-months work plan, towards the deployment of solutions that will involve ca 40.000 elderly citizens, supply and demand side (authorities, institutions, companies, associations, academies) in 8 regional communities, from 7 EU member states.
The first day is organized in 3 parallel working sessions for the different thematic clusters of the project. The goal is to discuss in detail the Work Plan of the different WPs and DSs for the first 6 months and the synergies needed within the cluster, also identifying interactions with other clusters or open issues that could be addressed during the following days of the meeting.
On the second day, there will be a plenary consortium session with the global overview and conclusions from the clusters sessions, in which each WP will explain their vision and strategies. During the afternoon, there will be two parallel sessions: the first Project Steering Committee meting and a technological showcase. During the showcase, both Pilots and Companies will illustrate their own technologies and will explain what they are bringing to the project in collaboration with the rest of the partners.
The third day, there will be an Open Plenary Session, where the partners will show the project’s vision and will have a thematic debate with key opinion leaders of the sector to talk about the challenges that health sector innovators face on meeting the conditions that enable the sharing of health data.
