🟢 The European Council has adopted the European Health Data Space (#EHDS) regulation, a game-changer for cross-border health data access and digital health innovation. This initiative empowers individuals with better control over their electronic health data, fosters secure reuse for research and policy, and promotes interoperability across the EU. 🟢 The EHDS is expected to drive growth in the #DigitalHealth sector by 20-30% annually, delivering significant benefits for patients, researchers, and policymakers. A milestone for connected and efficient European healthcare! #EuropeanHealthDataSpace #EHDS #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #HealthData #Interoperability https://lnkd.in/dvNT34GF Albert Gallart Joan Escudero Susana Aceituno Àlex Casadevall Nierga Evidenze Digital Health & Evidenze Data & Evidenze Lab

WHO Regional Office for Europe has recently launched the Strategic Partners’ Initiative for Data and Digital Health (SPI-DDH), bringing together 53 Member States and leading organizations to advance digital health solutions. This initiative aims to tackle the challenges of #digitaltransformation by focusing on safe, affordable, and #patient-centered technologies. Through multisectoral collaboration, SPI-DDH is expected to form four working groups that will focus on enhancing capacity and #access to care using #digitalization and #AI, promoting #homecare, improving #interoperability, and strengthening #publichealth systems. The importance of #ecosystem collaboration in healthcare cannot be overstated, as it fosters innovation, ensures the integration of diverse expertise, and promotes comprehensive approaches to healthcare challenges. https://lnkd.in/du9ZzrWj #healthcare #digitalhealth #collaboratition

📣 New Publication: The Need for a Digital Health Readiness Tool 🖥   Our recent systematic review, "How is digital health suitability measured for communities?" reveals a critical gap in digital health: no comprehensive tool exists to measure a patient’s or community’s readiness for digital health services. Authors include: John Geracitano, Luke Barron, David McSwain, MD MPH, and Saif Khairat, PhD, MPH.   Despite the rapid growth of digital health, including telehealth and mobile health, there is no standardized mechanism to assess if individuals and communities are equipped to leverage these services effectively. Existing tools evaluate isolated factors like broadband access but fail to capture the full picture.   🔑 What’s missing? 🔹 An index that considers socioeconomic status, digital accessibility (devices and internet), and social determinants of health. 🔹 A comprehensive, operational tool that healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers can use to drive equitable and effective care. 🔹 Without such a tool, vulnerable populations, particularly those in rural areas or with lower socioeconomic status, are at risk of falling further behind in accessing digital health.   Read the full review: https://lnkd.in/d3JXuJrW   #DigitalHealth #HealthEquity #Telemedicine #DigitalReadiness #HealthcareInnovation #Research #HealthEquity #DigitalHealthEquity #ViVE #HealthInformatics #Informatics #SystematicReview #PublicHealth #DataScience #VirtualCare #Equity #Telehealth

This article outlines the World Health Organization's Strategic Partners’ Initiative for Data and Digital Health (SPI-DDH), a collaborative effort involving 53 European member states and various stakeholders to accelerate the digital transformation of healthcare systems. SPI-DDH aims to promote the adoption of digital healthcare solutions aligned with WHO’s Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020-2025, addressing challenges such as funding shortages and governance issues in digital transformation. The initiative has established specialised working groups to enhance healthcare capacity through AI and digitalisation, integrate data technologies into healthcare strategies, promote interoperability standards and strengthen public health initiatives, including mental health support. It's good to see this kind of action taking place. Digital health is that important. #digitalhealth #digitalcare #digitalhealthcare

🚨 Breaking News: A New Era for Health Data in the EU! 🚨 The Council of the EU has officially adopted the European Health Data Space (EHDS) regulation, marking a monumental step forward in the way health data is exchanged and accessed across Europe. 🌍 The EHDS regulation is set to: ✔️ Enhance individuals' access to and control over their personal electronic health data. ✔️ Enable the secure reuse of certain health data for research and innovation, benefiting patients across the EU. ✔️ Establish a health-specific data environment, ensuring seamless cross-border access to digital health services and products. This new framework not only empowers patients but also fosters innovation and collaboration within the healthcare sector across all EU member states.

Digital transformation is happening at a rapid pace, and its potential impact on healthcare is vast. We believe collaboration is essential to driving the positive impact of digital health. To deliver the best results, we need a multi-faceted policy approach, where patients, citizens, policymakers, researchers, HCPs and industry work together to build a framework that keeps patients at the forefront. Of course, at the heart of digital health is data. It sits at the centre of everything we do - from understanding the burden of disease to delivering new treatments. That is why we advocate for strong policies that support use, access to and sharing of health data to build public trust, drive innovation, and foster sustainable health data ecosystems. Let’s empower the future of digital healthcare together. #DigitalHealth #DataAct #AIAct #EHDS #eHealth #HealthData

The way we work in public health is, we make the best recommendations and decisions based on the best available data. - Dr. Tom Frieden One thing is for sure. The future of healthcare revolves around one element. Data. The healthcare industry is rapidly changing. How can we use the power of cross-border data to transform healthcare? Join us at Healthcare World @ HLTH Europe in Amsterdam. This must hear event, powered by Healthcare World, brings together global experts like NHS England, WHO, and the Dubai Health Authority to address today's most pressing healthcare concerns. We'll be hosting a series of critical conversations addressing today's most important healthcare concerns. 💡 Session 1: The effect of cross border laws and regulations on Data Driven Healthcare To achieve precision medicine and population health treatments, we require an enormous amount of data. However, in order to be genuinely actionable, our data must cross international borders. This workshop will look at the policies and legislation required to allow for this worldwide data flow. 💡 Session 2: Keeping the relationship between founders and VC funders in good health The relationship between founders and investors has evolved. VCs nowadays provide more than just capital. They offer strategic advice and excellent connections. How can founders and investors maintain a positive connection that promotes growth? 💡 Session 3: Future-proof primary care: how digital tools can drive value and efficiency Primary care is the front line of healthcare, essential for capturing population-level data analysis. Why is it so often overlooked? Discover how digital tools may improve basic care by increasing value and efficiency. 💡 Did you realize? Several healthcare leaders agree that data sharing is essential for innovation. How can we strike a compromise between privacy and the need for huge, shareable data to enhance global health outcomes? Some claim that strict data rules stifle innovation rather than protecting privacy. We envision a future where data flows freely, transforming patient care worldwide. We must accept that our current systems need help. What if the future of health technology is based on a universal data language? Healthcare World is committed to developing partnerships that push the limits of innovation. We're creating the future of healthcare.
