DigitalHealthEurope is a Coordination and Support Action aimed to provide comprehensive, integrated and centralised support to initiatives on digital health and care innovation.

PROJECT

Scope and objectives

The project’s approach involves actions that will boost innovation and advance the three Digital Single Market priorities for the digital transformation of health and care (DTHC):

 

  • citizens’ secure access to and sharing of health data across borders
  • better data to advance research, disease prevention and personalised health and care
  • digital tools for citizen empowerment and person-centred care.

 

To achieve these three priorities, the project work plan offers two forms of support.

 

  • Support to large scale deployment of digital solutions for person-centred integrated care: Assessment tools will be used to identify, analyse and select successful initiatives which are highly impactful and replicable. The selected initiatives will have the opportunity to pursue replication and scaling-up with the aid of instruments such as matchmaking and a twinning support scheme. A deployment support service will include guidelines, checklists and documented successful approaches as well as structured advice on EU funding instruments and financing sources. These results will contribute to capacity building. They will help define the “building blocks” for the scaling-up of innovative practices.
  • Support to DTHC innovation through collaboration platforms: DigitalHealthEurope will also facilitate the creation of collaboration platforms that directly address the three above mentioned priorities for the digital transformation of health and care.
