HSMonitor is organising a hybrid event on 13 July 2023 dedicated to tackling the rising incidence of hypertension among our population through the use of digital solutions.
Event
This webinar will seek to answer the following questions: - Is there a gap between the EEHRxF developments and the patients, which actions can be taken to fill it in? - What are the key benefits of EEHRxF for patients, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system as a whole? - What are the key challenges for transferring the EEHRxF technologies to the industry? What are the key actions to be addressed to ensure the successful implementation and adoption of EEHRxF? - What role do patients play in the use of EEHRxF, and how can they be empowered to take ownership of their health records?
Join EHTEL, TEHDAS, ECHAlliance, the European Society of Cardiology and others at this event to share global insights and connect with digital transformation partners.

One of the outcomes of the Horizon 2020 project Innovation Networks for Scaling Active and Healthy Ageing (IN-4-AHA) is a Mapping of accessibility and adoption of services and products You can find it now in Futurium Library, both in English and Spanish This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No.101017603
The pandemic has brought to the fore unpreparedness in critical areas that require attention, amid prospects and challenges. Moreover, considerable reorganization efforts are required with implications for assets, resources, norms, and value systems. COVID-19 is challenging the concept of globalization and stimulating responses at the levels of local and regional socio-economic systems that lead to the mobilization of assets that have been unrecognized earlier on, such as various forms of economic capital, social capital, cultural capital, human capital, and creative capital.
Reports and studies
In this position paper, we have used Alan Cooper’s persona technique to illustrate the utility of audio- and video-based AAL technologies. Therefore, two primary examples of potential audio- and video-based AAL users, Anna and Irakli, serve as reference points for describing salient ethical, legal and social challenges related to use of AAL. These challenges are presented on three levels: individual, societal, and regulatory. For each challenge, a set of policy recommendations is suggested.
This Research Topic focuses on both strengths and weaknesses of social innovation, technological innovation, and health innovation that are increasingly recognized as crucial concepts related to the formulation of responses to the social, health, and environmental challenges. Goals of this Research Topic: (1) to identify and share the best recent practices and innovations related to social, environmental and health policies; (2) to debate on relevant governance modes, management tools as well as evaluation and impact assessment techniques; (3) to discuss dilemmas in the fields of management, financing, designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining the sustainability of innovative models of delivering social, health and care services; and (4) to recognize and analyze social, technological and health innovation that has emerged or has been scaled-up to respond to crisis situations, for example, a pandemic of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease.
One of the outcomes of the Horizon 2020 project Innovation Networks for Scaling Active and Healthy Ageing (IN-4-AHA) is an innovation scale-up model that is validated by stakeholders and complemented by implementation roadmap. You can find it now in Futurium Library and please check out also an online scale up model, a tool for innovators.
Training
Researchers from Trinity College, in partnership with Tallaght University Hospital, Hospital Clínic de Barcelona and HOPE the European Hospital and Healthcare Federation, have developed a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) focusing on dementia-friendly hospital design. The MOOC guides health professionals and others in the design of a hospital experience that supports the needs of dementia patients.
Best practices
In the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in France, we have developed and implemented a training programme for home care services managers. The objective is to experiment new management and organisational methods that empower home carers and improve their recognition.
The technological challenge consists of developing a "virtual coach" that will guide the user with personalized recommendations to adopt healthy behaviours with a view to improving their quality of life, using the most innovative technologies, achievable in their own social and territorial context and aligned with their "Life Project", this being a key element in the model of comprehensive and person-centred care that the Social Services Management of Castilla y León has been developing
Home care services based on IoT/AHA solutions.
Forum
One of IN-4-AHA’s main activities is to promote the culture of cross-border impact investing through public and private procurement of health innovation. For this reason, we would like to know your opinion and count on your contributions in order to gather information about Public Procurement for Innovation (PPI) in your country.
