Health-ICT WG Meeting: Digital transformation of healthcare
The digital transformation of health and care services is of central interest to a large number of ERRIN members. Areas of interest include Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health, the implementation of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and the expansion of digital health initiatives such as telehealth. Additionally, there is a broader shift towards a more digital healthcare system which promotes innovation aimed at enhancing service delivery.
Another key topic of interest among members is the demographic change in Europe, characterised by an ageing population and a rising number of individuals living with chronic conditions. In this regard, advanced diagnostics, detection and prevention tools and systems would be critical in pre-empting both infectious and chronic diseases, enhancing the quality and efficiency of treatment and lessen the burden on medical infrastructures. If implemented smartly and inclusively, the digital transformation of health and care offers opportunities to maintain and support the health of older citizens and patients as well as strengthen the holistic resilience of local and regional healthcare ecosystems as a whole.
Given the intertwined nature of health and ICT, this joint session is designed to foster the exchange of best practices between the health and ICT working group members. The session will aim to 1) showcase innovative practices from regions and cities that can inspire others, 2) explore the policy landscape surrounding digital health, healthy ageing and prevention and 3) provide insights into digital funding opportunities for cities and regions within this context.
This meeting can also be the occasion to showcase the Regional Innovation Valley on digital health (UNITE), in which ERRIN members take part.
A detailed agenda will be published closer to the date.
