 AGENDA
Digital healthcare: from hospitals to the home
How Horizon 2020 can help deliver cost savings in healthcare
Digital healthcare is becoming a reality – but there are bottlenecks to overcome. Already
apps are on the market to monitor patients with diabetes, schizophrenia and heart
disease. Digital technologies are helping dementia patients stay in the community. Our
smartphones can be used to monitor our health 24/7. But how to get these innovations
used at scale?

We will discuss what role H2020 could play in decreasing costs of healthcare in Europe by
taking advantage of the advancement of digital healthcare technologies and promoting
a more systemic and organisational approach. The integration of digital technologies
in the system enables us to shift our perspective in healthcare-modeling and practice
‘from hospitals to the home’, with potential to deliver additional cost savings at regional,
national and European levels.
