Seminar: EU-US pHealth experiences
The establishment of the emerging Personalized Healthcare Informatics (PHI) area looks to be driven by several factors. Some of them are Country independent. Some others highly depend from the way the specific Country organizes its healthcare system. As we know that such systems are significantly different between EU and US, we have to foresee differences in the PHI applications and overall impact between the two environments. Nevertheless, several architectural visions and practical applications may take positive inputs from the view cared on each other side of the ocean.

Friday 26 June 08:30 - 10:30

Scope

The workshop is jointly organized by the eHealth Lab at the Department of Bioengineering at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy and the College of Health Sciences at Old Dominion University, Norfolk VA, USA. The workshop will start by presenting the results and the recommendations collected at the EU-US PHealth Conference organized last year. Then novel PHI approaches and projects, both in EU and US, will be outlined. Finally, together with the inputs from the audience, the speakers will propose new PHI research directions and collaborations between EU-US.
