PROJECTS MAGAZINE has been circulated at many events in Europe over the years as Insight seeks to broaden its engagement with the research community through a series of ambitious media partnerships and collaborations. There can be few of them, however, as important as eHealth Week, this year being held in Dublin as part of Ireland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union. It’s important on many levels - not least as it brings together a complete cross section of stakeholders involved in driving forward the eHealth agenda in Europe as well as in countries further afield.
But with ICT in health forecast as the next major driving force for ICT infrastructure development, the implications of implementing robust eHealth strategies go further than simply providing better, more cost-effective healthcare for all citizens. As Kevin Conlon, Head of ICT in the Deaprtment of Health in Ireland, advocates for his country, eHealth development can act as a stimulus for the whole economy, leading to increased investment and increased productivity across all the ICT sectors, stimulating growth across the economies of Europe.
It is this ecosystem approach to eHealth strategy that Projects Magazine will be supporting through our involvement at events like eHealth Week and through our continued support for cutting-edge research that is taking ICT for health on to the next level in Europe.
Meanwhile, Projects Magazine will continue with its leading series of country focuses, highlighting in depth some of the research taking place within Europe’s borders. This edition, we focus on Switzerland, a country where innovation is stimulated through high levels of investment, low levels of bureaucracy and a wilingness to take risks. It’s a model that those crafting the EU’s brilliant new funding programme Horizon 2020 would do well to follow.
