Framework to IMPROVE the Integration of Patient Generated Health Data to Facilitate Value Based Healthcare

Project description

Improving healthcare through patient-generated health data

Chronic diseases and co-morbidities are a burden. Currently, patient and citizen information is available but fragmented. The EU-funded IMPROVE project will utilise patient-generated health data (PGHD) collected through m-health and e-health technologies. These data provide valuable insights into the real-life behaviour and challenges faced by patients of all ages suffering from complex chronic diseases and co-morbidities. The project will use this information to complement and enhance existing approaches to patient-centred outcome measures. The IMPROVE consortium will build a platform enabling the smart use of patient-generated evidence and input. The project will focus on 10 use cases in at least five different disease areas, such as ophthalmology, oncology, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, and neurology.

Objective

IMPROVE will use Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) gathered via m-health and e-health technologies to gain improved insights into the real-life behavior of, and challenges faced by, patients of all ages with complex, chronic diseases and comorbidities. Already today, a wealth of patient and citizen information is available, but fragmented, and therefore not coming to its full utility and value. These personal data will complement and improve existing approaches for Patient-Centered Outcome Measures beyond those currently available in state-of-the-art platforms. The IMPROVE platform that the consortium will build will enable the smart use of patient input and patient generated evidence to 1) advance the role of patient preference and patient experience in the context of treatment selection, 2) improve medical device design based on patient preferences and experiences, and 3) facilitate faster market entry of patient-centric and cost-effective advanced integrated care solutions. Improved clinical adoption of Value Based Health Care, and enhanced return on research and innovation investments will be demonstrated in different care settings across the EU, for 10 use cases in at least 5 different disease areas (e.g. ophthalmology, oncology, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, and neurology). The use cases will be conducted using a large variety of implementation strategies, building on a design thinking approach, to optimally test the innovative framework of data gathering and translation into controlled change and action. In addition, a significant contribution from implementation science is planned to reach out to all stakeholders that are relevant for this initiative and maximise the impact to IMPROVE healthcare provision.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
