The world is undergoing a digital transition that is changing our societies and economies at an extraordinary speed. The pandemic crisis has accelerated this evolution. Especially for the health sector, the COVID-19 pandemic showed the importance of implementing and providing digital servicesand digital solutions that work for patients, including eHealth, telemedicine, contact-tracing apps.
Digitalisation has the enormous potential to improve the health services and patients’ self-management. It can shift from a disease-centred to patient-centred healthcare. But digitalisation also presents challenges in terms of regulations, policy framework and access to digital tools.
This two-days event aims at empowering Patient Organizations, through the presentation of the latest innovations in research and care. EFA believes is crucial to increase digital health literacy, in a context were the allergy and respiratory communities might be challenged by the new global, fast-changing scenario.
