| Summary: |
SHIFT-HUB aims to establish a pan-European Smart Health Innovation Hub bringing together a rich network of multidisciplinary stakeholders across the dimensions of the quadruple helix , with the mission to facilitate the development, ensure the promotion and foster the uptake of Smart Health technologies and services. By putting a strong community of emerging digital technologies providers, with the support of practitioners and the healthcare institutions they represent, at the service of EU patients and citizens, SHIFT-HUB aims to enable, through awareness raising, digital literacy enhancing and behavioral changes inducing experiences, a paradigm shift from a reactive to a proactive and personalized health care system focused on the monitoring & maintenance of good health instead of disease management. To foster technology development and experimentation, SHIFT-HUB will design and implement a patient-centric and community-driven pilot offering secure access to anonymized data for applications development and paving the way towards the future federated European Health Data Space. SHIFT-HUB aims to act as a gateway facilitating access for practitioners, patients and citizens to European Smart Health technologies through its infrastructure and by leveraging the dense network of EU Digital Innovation Hubs that will be targeted as partners to foster an intersectoral cross-fertilization. By the same token, the SHIFT-HUB ecosystem will foster cultural change between stakeholders from various backgrounds, inducing a process of peer-learning, skills enrichment and transfer of know-how globally enriching the community. |
