Type of instrument:

Presentation:
The PIPS project
will make a significant step forward in the processes
for healthcare (HC) delivery to the European Public by means of
creating
a new Health and Life Knowledge and Services Support Environment.
This
will improve current HC delivery models while creating possibilities
for
HC professionals to get access to relevant-updated medical knowledge
and
the European citizens to choose healthier lifestyles.
Objectives:
The objective is
to encompass the
entire set of business processes, professional practices, and
products applied
to the analysis and
preservation of the citizen's well-being using
the latest innovations in
ICT.
Collaboration:
The project joins HC suppliers,
citizens, public organizations, food/drug industry and services,
researchers, and health
related policy
makers, that are affected by the health
status of individuals and of the
global population, to create a dynamic knowledge environment
that nourishes the
system, and gives added value feedback for
personalised and contextualized knowledge and services to
improve the European public's
welfare. In the PIPS scenario
each actor is a supplier and receiver of
personalised knowledge. This includes both explicit and implicit
knowledge management based on traditional and new approaches
to knowledge discovery out from current medical practice, evidence
based
medicine, and disparate knowledge sources from health/nutrition
domains.
Intended outcomes:
PIPS results
will enable the
HC Professionals to
deliver just-in-time personalised and prevention-focused HC services
compliant with
the Citizen's
personal health state, preferences and ambient conditions; the
Citizens will have the ability
to make informed decisions about therapies and nutrition at
any time/place
according to
the real-time evaluation of their health
state; the HC Authorities will improve
risk management of HC systems; the Actors
in the HC delivery value
chain will get access to and generate valuable information,
assuring the global sustainability of the system.
Technical topics involved:
This ambitious
project over four years will develop and benefit from
technological innovations and will address the following topics:
Tools
for personalised e-health services
Tools for knowledge management
Security and safety
Trustworthy business processes
Healthcare business models
and risk
Societal acceptance
