Work Package 2

Digital Ecosystem

WP2 will develop technology solutions together with industry partners and the Industry Forum to help address the equality gaps identified in WP1. It will also gather the health data needed to design and evaluate city-based interventions that will be tested in the pilot activities described in WP3–6.

 

The technologies within the Cities@Heart Digital Ecosystem will be developed through six stages. Each stage will include idea generation, prototyping, development (including adapting and integrating applications), followed by testing and evaluation.

Leaders

Work Package 2 is co-led by the University of Birmingham and Wavy Health with support from Novartis. 

Objectives

1

Create a Cities@Heart digital ecosystem to support the design, deployment and evaluation of effective city-based interventions.

3

Launch the Cities@Heart Accelerator across selected cities with implementation guides and adoption kits for CVD guidelines.

2

Customise and integrate inclusive end-to-end solutions and provide tailored digital applications and telehealth approaches to address urban CVD inequality.

Telehealth is the use of electronic information and telecomm-unication technologies to support long-distance clinical health care

4

Align specifications with myHealth@EU, HealthData@EU and the implementation of the European Health Data Space.
