THE DHE DIGEST #2 is OUT! Patient Empowerment Roadmap

The DigitalHealthEurope Digest #2 is now available at http://bit.ly/3bRTxna!

The second issue of the DigitalHealthEurope (DHE) Digest is focused on empowering patients through active cooperation with health and care professionals.

DigitalHealthEurope partner EPF has led the delivery of an empowerment roadmap, with the focus to outline the elements, in particular at organisational level, to improve patient empowerment and therefore better collaboration with healthcare providers and health systems, while increasing their trust in digital health. As part of this roadmap, seven key steps have been identified:

  1. Define the challenge and needs
  2. Prepare the ecosystem
  3. Empower key stakeholders
  4. Co-develop digital health
  5. Implement
  6. Evaluate and assess
  7. Adapt and Improve

Furthermore, Digest #2 covers information about the upcoming events and the recent highlights of the project:
