Summary
Today, a wealth of information and data on patients exists, but is scattered across different platforms and systems. This makes it very hard to use this data effectively to improve patient care and rapidly implement effective (digital) solutions for healthcare.
The aim of IMPROVE is to develop an evidence-based, real-time framework capable of integrating information from patient reported outcome and experience measures (PROMs and PREMs) and patient preference information (PPI), as well as patient-generated health data (PGHD) from m-health and e-health technologies such as wearable devices and mobile apps. By drawing on this and other information such as real-world data, the IMPROVE framework will deliver new insights into the real-life behaviour of, and challenges faced by, patients of all ages living with complex health problems.
The IMPROVE framework will be integrated into an online platform designed to facilitate the smart use of patient inputs and evidence in the development of integrated healthcare solutions.
The platform will be tested via 10 use cases covering 5 disease areas (ophthalmology, oncology, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, and neurology) in at least 6 different European countries and their national/regional healthcare systems.
Ultimately, by placing the patient at the centre of the system, the IMPROVE platform should advance the use of information on patient preferences and experiences in treatment selection decisions and medical device design. The project also hopes its framework will facilitate the faster market entry of patient-centric, cost-effective integrated care solutions to improve healthcare across the EU.
