Boosting innovation through exploitation of digitalisation and data exchange in healthcare

Expected Impact:Applicants are expected to define the expected impacts to be achieved by their proposal that will contribute to one or more of the expected impacts linked to IHI JU’s Specific Objective 4, as reflected in the IHI JU SRIA, i.e.:wider availability of interoperable, quality data, respecting FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles, facilitating research and the development of integrated products and services;improved insight into the real-life behaviour and challenges of patients with complex, chronic diseases and co-morbidities thanks to m-health and e-health technologies;advanced analytics / artificial intelligence supporting health R&I, resulting in: clinical decision support for increased accuracy of diagnosis and efficacy of treatment;shorter times to market;wider availability of personalised health interventions to end-users;better evidence of the added value from new digital health and artificial intelligence tools, including reduced risk of bias due to improved methodologies. Furthermore, the actions to be funded under this topic are expected to contribute to:a) the strengthening of the competitiveness of the EU’s health industry via increased economic activity in the development of health technologies, in particular, integrated health solutions, thus fostering European technological leadership and the digital transformation of our societies.b) the implementation of the EU’s Life Sciences Strategy and its specific aims such as unlocking the power of new knowledge, data and AI for breakthrough innovation.The actions are expected also to consider and contribute to EU programmes, initiatives and policies such as the European Green Deal, Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, the EU Mission on Cancer, the Apply AI Strategy, the European Virtual Human Twins Initiative, the 1+ Million Genomes Initiative, the preparedness and response to health emergencies, the upcoming EU Biotech Act, the Regulation on the European Health Data Spac
