Mapping of the digital health ecosystems landscape & strategic foresight
Have you ever imagined a map showing the digital health ecosystems in and around Europe? It could be possible!
The definition of an ecosystem is: “Digital health ecosystems are permanent multi-stakeholder partnerships, focused on a region or a theme. They are committed to working together to implement innovative digital health solutions that break down silos, transform healthcare and create economic opportunities by connecting needs with solutions.”
The purpose of the interactive map is to foster the digital transformation and sustainability of digital health by connecting relevant stakeholders.
If you are part of a digital health ecosystem and would like to be on the map, please click here.
The project will develop an action plan that fosters collaboration and drives the future of digital health, including funding and investments in the sector. To input to the action plan, a series of futures workshops will take place. It will be an opportunity to discuss digital health with stakeholders - opportunities and challenges of the digital health sector in 2030.
