Quality healthcare provisioning in Europe has become a major issue for the EU healthcare systems. The population growth and the increasing number of chronic patients is creating a strong budgetary pressure on governments. AER is strongly following this issue and providing concrete actions to face this challenge within its Committees, favouring a dialogue among health, innovation, enterprises and social policies.

In this context, innovation through electronic and mobile health solutions could be a crucial asset in order to overcome these challenges, and to contribute to a more patient-focused healthcare. The ultimate goal is to empower people and to support the shift towards prevention, while at the same time improve the efficiency of the existing healthcare systems.

Representatives from the industry, academy and institution will meet up in Budapest (HU) on 14-16 June for the international 360° Summit on eHealth. This is a unique event bringing a 360 degree perspective on mobile and electronic health and gathering together key players to plan, learn, network, collaborate, strategize and more effectively tap into the immense potential of the eHealth and mHealth domains.

AER members and partners interested to gather experiences and innovative ideas from related projects and activities in this topic and to pave the way in facing this challenge with a multi-stakeholders approach are invited to register here.
