- Enabling Integrated Care: Harnessing personal health systems for better outcomes across the care continuum - workshop at eHealthweek2010
-
18 March 2010 Barcelona, Spain
Drawing on the experience of healthcare providers who are already using personal health systems to support home care for chronic disease management, the workshop will provide a forum to explore opportunities and identify solutions for integrating Personal Health systems in routine healthcare. Focusing on the hands-on experience of clinicians, the workshop will outline key benefits of Personal Health Systems (PHS) such as reduced emergency department attendance and repeat hospitalisation, improved patient compliance and human resource capacity.

- Workshop on Recent advances in Smart Integrated Biodiagnostic Systems for Healthcare
-
25 March 2010 Analytica 2010, Munich Fairgrounds, Germany
This is the 4th User Group Workshop in the course of the EC-funded SmartHEALTH Integrated Project. Driven by key applications in cancer diagnostics, SmartHEALTH was conceived and constructed to address the development and delivery of the next generation of smart diagnostic devices. The aim of the Workshop is to interact with the user community and gather expert opinion in order to address real market needs and find the best pathways towards exploitation of our results. We will do this by introducing the technology being developed within SmartHEALTH and having an open discussion to explore the opportunities and barriers for exploitation/ commercialisation in the healthcare arena.

- VPHOP Satellite Symposium at IOF WCO-ECCEO10 Congress
-
5 May 2010 - 8 May 2010 Firenze, Italy
The symposium 'Assessing fracture risk: the future for designing new therapies' program, aims to present the clinical experts the state of the art in technologies to assess the risk of fracture in patients affected by osteoporosis. VPHOP or Osteoporotic Virtual Physiological Human is a European osteoporosis research project within the framework of the Virtual Physiological Human initiative. Until August 2012, VPHOP will develop, validate and deploy the next generation of technology to predict the absolute risk of fracture in patients with low bone mass, thereby enabling clinicians to provide better prognoses and implement more effective treatment strategies (both pharmacological and interventional). To attend the satellite symposium you have to be registered to the IOF WCO-ECCEO10 conference. However, the invited participants to the VPHOP Satellite Symposium are entitled to a special fee.

- Interoperable eHealth is Worth it - Securing Benefits from Electronic Health Records and ePrescribing
-
10 March 2010
Health information systems can help make our healthcare systems economically sustainable. The recent EHR IMPACT study shows the importance of interoperability in this quest, as well as what needs to be in place in order to realise the potential. Following the positive resonance to the EHR IMPACT final report, the European Commission (EC) is now publishing the results in a stand-alone publication. "Interoperable eHealth is Worth it - Securing Benefits from Electronic Health Records and ePrescribing" provides insights into the real socio-economic and financial impact of eHealth. The empirical evidence is based on eleven case studies from across Europe and beyond – Scotland, Kronoberg in Sweden, Kolín-Čáslav in the Czech Republic, Geneva Switzerland, Lombary in Italy, Rhône-Alpes in France, Bulgaria, Andalusia in Spain, Israel, and Evanston in the USA. A sneak-preview of the new publication will be available at the EC booth n°801 at the joint Ministerial eHealth conference and World of Health IT conference and exhibition.
