OUR CHALLENGES.

Every patient generates data. Very little of it improves healthcare.

Healthcare is becoming increasingly digital, yet one of its greatest untapped resources remains underused: Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD)

However, these data are often fragmented, difficult to access, and rarely integrated into routine healthcare decision-making

IMPROVE addresses this challenge by transforming patient-generated health data into actionable knowledge - supporting better clinical decisions, more effective healthcare innovation, and truly value-based healthcare across Europe.

OUR APPROACH TO BETTER HEALTHCARE.

IMPROVE will establish a platform for gathering and exchanging patient-generated health data (PGHD)

Different concept of gathering and exchanging PGHD will be tested with the help of nine case studies from five different disease areas

The IMPROVE Knowledge Warehouse transforms fragmented evidence into accessible knowledge

The IMPROVE Toolbox helps stakeholders translate research into practice.

THE LIVINGLAB.

Innovation matters only when it works in real hospitals.

Different concept of gathering and exchanging PGHD will be tested with the help of nine case studies from five different disease areas in six different countries.

KNOWLEDGE WAREHOUSE AND SCREENATHON.

Evidence becomes valuable only when it is accessible.

Scientific evidence is most valuable when it can be found, understood, and applied. The IMPROVE Knowledge Warehouse and Screenathon identify, evaluate, and organise digital healthcare solutions, transforming fragmented evidence into accessible knowledge that supports innovation and better healthcare decisions.

THE PLATFORM.

Data become knowledge when they support decisions.

The IMPROVE Platform connects patient-generated health data with clinical evidence and validated knowledge. Through interoperable technologies and intuitive decision-support tools, it transforms complex data into actionable insights for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, industry, and patients.

Objectifs du projet

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.
