e-health community in Europe
eHealth means Information and Communication Technologies tools and services for
health. Whether eHealth tools are used behind the scenes by healthcare
professionals, or directly by patients, they play a significant role in
improving the health of European citizens.
PHS2020 Project will produce a policy oriented RTD roadmap for ICT supported
Personal Health Systems by analysing the state of play of existing technologies
and applications and by elaborating scenarios on possible new emerging ones. In
doing so, it will take into account broad societal trends, users demands,
business aspects, ethical and legal considerations. As a result, PHS2020 is
expected to identify and characterize the key research challenges to be
addressed during FP7 and beyond in order to deliver the promises of ICT
supported Personalised Health Systems. In addition, it will provide an action
oriented implementation plan describing the timing and instruments to be
deployed to support the identified most important future research
themes.
