Collaborating for Digital Health and Care in Europe
Community Update
[Greeting]
The final months of 2024 are rich in opportunities to learn, meet and collaborate in the EHTEL community.
First and foremost, EHTEL's highlight of the year, the EHTEL Symposium (3-4 December 2024, in Brussels) is only two weeks away!
This is your opportunity to engage in quality networking and set up future collaborations, thanks to EHTEL's unique multi-stakeholder community in Europe.
Feel free to share this newsletter with your organisational colleagues and networking peers. Let them know about the opportunity to connect with the EHTEL community at EHTEL's 25th Anniversary Symposium.
On 22 October 2024 EHTEL explored the current and potential uses of virtual human digital twins, during a webinar organised in collaboration with COMFORTage. The highly successful event brought together more than 150 attendees to learn more about the potential of this crucially disruptive innovation. Learn more about the innovation that promises to improve human life.
It is vital to watch how the European policy space will develop in the future. EHTEL has looked at some of the important statements made about the next five years of the European Union (EU) on digital health in that “Europe’s Choice” document, delivered by President Ursula von der Leyen on 18 July 2024 at the European Parliament. Its content will help you become aware of future policy directions in the EU.
On 1 October 2024, Marc LANGE - EHTEL’s General Secretary - was invited to give a talk on what’s happening regarding the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and what EHTEL is doing to assist the future implementation of the Regulation, during a meeting co-organised by the data working group of the European Children’s Hospitals Organisation (ECHO) in conjunction with the PHEMS project.
The BeWell project is leading an open public consultation on the development of a future Skills Strategy. Their survey invites stakeholders from across Europe to provide feedback on the potential contents of the strategy, which will focus on enhancing digital skills and green skills in the health and care sector.
