Public consultation on how Europe should promote digital innovation in health and care
The European Commission launched a public consultation on how Europe should promote digital innovation in health and care, for the benefits of citizens and health systems. The input received will feed into a new policy Communication to be adopted by the end of 2017, and we believe that our contribution to this survey can prove to be strategically important for the AAL programme.
The consultation will collect information on three main pillars:
- Citizens’ secure access to their health data and the possibility to share it across borders, clarifying citizens’ rights and enhancing interoperability of electronic health records in Europe;
- Connecting and sharing data and expertise to advance research, personalise health and care, and better anticipate epidemics;
- Using digital services to promote citizen empowerment and integrated person-centred care.
Citizens, patient organisations, health and care professionals, public authorities, researchers, industries, investors, insurers and users of digital health tools are all invited to share their views via EU Survey until 12 October 2017.
Join the discussion and influence the future of Europe in this field!
