Project Aims
The IMPROVE project aims to make digital healthcare more efficient putting Patient-Generated Health Data on focus. Health Care Systems all over the European Union become increasingly digital. Medical doctors, pharmacists, researchers, politicians and other experts in the healthcare sector use and exchange a large number of patient-related health data.
But there are a lot of obstacles. The quality of the data exchange is not sufficient due to a lack of standards. Workflows and operating procedures are often not efficient which leads to problems in decision-making processes and patient treatments. Additionally, it increases the costs of health services.
To solve this problem, health experts from hospitals, research centres, universities, the health economy and politics implemented the research and innovation team of IMPROVE. The IMPROVE team will develop a platform where certain concepts of gathering and exchanging patient-generated health data will developed and tested in hospitals and different health areas.
