Digital Therapeutics and Care at Home. Webinar 3rd June.

We focus on the latest  EHTEL’s “Second Imagining 2029*” webinar. This virtual meeting is part of the EHTEL Innovation Initiative agenda for 2020 on Exploring Digital Therapeutics, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Coaches.

With the Imagining 2029 series of webinars – hosted by its working groups – EHTEL invites the digital health community to reflect jointly on accelerating digital transformation – acknowledging the opportunities and challenges raised by the current COVID-19 crisis. This is what they say

Given today’s situation in which health systems, and especially hospitals, need to manage ever more knowledge and increasing amount of data, they are faced with a number of challenges. These relate to e.g., increasing clinical benefits, providing treatment in a variety of locations (in the hospital itself, in new forms of hospitals, at home), and involving health and care staff effectively in the changes occurring.

The objectives of this first webinar on digital therapeutics and care at home are to:explore how, throughout Europe, care is shifting from the hospital to the home, explore what digital therapeutics has to offer in terms of this paradigm shift, and identify in what ways AI and digital therapeutics work together.

The Date: Wednesday 3 June 2020, Time: 12:00 – 13:30 CET (90 min)

The first part of the webinar is a brief welcome and introduction by TicSalutSocial member, Juan Guanyabens, and EHTEL Principal eHealth Policy Analyst, Diane Whitehouse.

The shift of care from hospital to home: Example 1 – Presenter: Astrid van der Velde and Ed de Kluiver, Isala Heart Centre, Netherlands (NWE-Chance).

The shift of care from hospital to home: Example 2  – Presenters: Massimo Caprino and Riccardo Re, Casa di Cura del Policlinico – CCP, Italy (vCare).

What digital therapeutics has to offer and the relationship between AI and digital therapeutics. – Presenter: John Crawford, CrawfordWorks, United Kingdom and EHTEL Honorary Member.

The discussion will be based around several key questions, that should provide concrete evidence of developments in the field. After the discussion, the moderators will summarise the key messages of the webinar as preliminary conclusions.

The Virtual Meeting is on invitation. Please register your interest via the Webinar Event and Registration Page and find here More on Innovation Initiative workstream in the EHTEL website.

 

New look at Digitalisation in healthcare

The recent Seminar announcement from EHTEL is worth visiting – we look at the specifics… what they say is this:

Digitisation in health opens up tremendous perspectives for new data-driven services. Our webinar to debate how individual health data combined with data collected in health and social care will provide the fuel for innovation in the future.

The implicit question is: What is Europe’s role in data economy and could maintaining trust be the biggest opportunity for Europe?

Jointly with Sitra, EHTEL is pleased to invite you to a webinar around the IHAN approach for trustfully personalised health services. Sitra’s IHAN® project aims to build the foundation for personalised wellbeing and healthcare services. It is a collaboration effort for European organisations. Evidently such an effort can be of interest for eHealth Competence centres, and all projects and initiatives involved in managing digital health data, also with a view for Artifical Intelligence based services.

Having been inspired by an EHTEL network meeting, we will inform on what IHAN is all about. What are building blocks for the IHAN rulebook like architecture, interoperability and trustful use? What are the core technical components including identity wallet, consent management and logging. How can these components be built according to IHAN requirements?

As an example, My Travel Health – Tokyo 2020 will be presented: The pilot project aims to benefit all stakeholders – travellers get medical attention faster and more precisely; the provider’s health data is securely exchanged with traveller’s consent; and medical teams can quickly get trusted patient information in their own language.

EHTEL moreover understands the webinar as an important milestone to define an AI-friendly environment in health and social care. This idea will be highlighted in more detail at the EHTEL 20th Anniversary & Symposium early December in Barcelona.

The Seminar is Monday 16th sept, at 15.00 CET; or 14.00 UK time. Join via: Skype for Business (connecting details will be shared upon registration)The Seminar is Monday 16th sept, at 15.00 CET; or 14.00 UK time.
