Connected Health & Wellbeing Cluster

"Innovative Synergies: Integrating Data and Collaboration in Healthcare" We're delighted to be working with EIT Health Ireland-UK , with support from InterTradeIreland and Health Innovation Research Alliance Northern Ireland (HIRANI) on our upcoming conference in Dundalk on June 27th. This is a one-day conference directed at SMEs & Corporates, Healthcare providers, and academics across the island of Ireland in the health sector, focusing on collaboration, and addressing current challenges and future opportunities on managing data across countries and multiple organisations. It will also focus on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) which is a new European framework, recently passed by the European Parliament. It aims to give citizens in Europe access to, and control over, their own digital personal health data, including when traveling within the European Union. Additionally, large anonymised health datasets will be made available across borders on request for research, innovation and policy-making. This has potential to empower citizens, optimise public health decision making, accelerate innovation, and personalise medicine. The discussion will examine: -   The transformative impact cross-border health data sharing could have on patients and clinicians -  What opportunities could be unlocked for digital health research and innovation -   Current initiatives to streamline health data access on the island of Ireland.

Very interesting post about using 'commonplace' technology to support healthcare on Clare Island via telehealth, remote monitoring, and other supports, including 80% of residents using a fitness/health tracker. The concept of 'proximity' where the moment of demand meets the moment of supply is really relevant for technology & health, especially in areas such as virtual wards, 3D printing of medicines etc. The 'loneliness' support via constant online interactivity is also very relevant for rural Ireland.

Great to partner with the Connected Health & Wellbeing Cluster at Dundalk Institute of Technology last week during the ‘Integrating Data and Collaboration in Healthcare' conference. Leah Dowdall from Department of Health - Ireland and I presented the European Health Data Space and explained how the European Union's Strategy for Data is paving the way for greater cross-border accessibility to anonymised #HealthData. Many thanks to panellists Loretto Grogan (Health Service Executive), Julia Palma (CeADAR Ireland) and Leah for discussing the potential this European framework could have here in Ireland for #healthcare, #policymaking, #research and #innovation. And to Dr. Frances Burns (Queen's University Belfast) for sharing best practice, highlighting how data exchange currently operates across the island of Ireland. I learned a lot from each of you about how we can move forward with #EHDS implementation! There were many interesting talks throughout the day.
