Press Release 02/2024: The IMPROVE Project Puts Patient-Generated Health Data On Focus
The IMPROVE project aims to make digital healthcare more efficient by using Patient Generated Health Data central in the analyses of newly developed treatments and solutions. Health care systems in the EU region have become increasingly digital. In addition, medical doctors, pharmacists, researchers, ppoliticians,and other experts in the healthcare sector use and exchange a large number of patient-related health data to make better decisions and use the most effective treatment possible. Nonetheless, the quality of the data exchange is not sufficient due to a lack of standards and efficient ways of using Patient Generated Health Data. Workflows and operating procedures are often not efficient which leads to problems in decision-making processes and patient treatments. Additionally, this increases the costs of health services. The IMPROVE team will develop a platform where certain concepts of gathering and exchanging Patient Generated Health Data will be developed and tested in hospitals in different health areas.
