The ecosystem goal is to create ‘permanent’

mutually beneficial partnerships, which

improves the delivery of health and social

care, at the same time as providing economic

benefits.

An Ecosystem brings together a community

of multi-sector stakeholders, interested in

developing a joint health agenda, aiming to

address and find common solutions to

challenges facing your region.

The main benefit of working together in an

Ecosystem is the multiplier effect and of

collaborating in an International Network of

Ecosystems.

Get involved (DHS is open to all & no fees): Digital Health Society Update

The Digital Health Society

A multi-stakeholders initiative launched in July 2017, under the Estonian EU Presidency

The DHS movement has designed an ambitious research and innovation programme for health and

wellbeing in Europe, enabled by key support activities and involving the EU citizens and the whole

society. Its purpose is not to define each project or initiative but to define a moonshot target and to describe the

components of the programme to reach this goal.

The moonshot aims to develop a series of support activities and research & innovation projects, driving

to collect the data (relevant for health purpose) of 100 million European citizens, by 2027, and make them

available (under conditions) – read the full description of the moonshot. Contact us: info@echalliance.com

ECHAlliance Workshop@ CHC 2018, Boston - USA

Humanize Digital Health: towards the Digital Health Society 17 – 19 October 2018 This year again, ECHAlliance is partnering with Personal Connected Health Alliance for the Connected Health Conference 2018 (CHC18), which will be

held on 17-19 October, at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston (MA, USA).

During the CHC18, the ECHAlliance organizes a 1-day workshop on Wednesday 17th October (same venue). The focus of this workshop is to create

relationships, debates and cooperation between stakeholders coming from Europe with USA and Canada.

The event is designed for all stakeholders (policy-makers, large companies, start-ups, healthcare professionals, researchers, citizens and patients’

groups, insurers, investors, etc.) to:

• Facilitate direct debates and discussions

• Share ideas and building a common vision of the future of health

• Showcase disruptive innovations

• Generate projects, business deals and investment opportunities

2018 main focus is about the balance between the Technology and the Human element. In an era when digital technologies enable individuals to track

health statistics such as daily activity and vital signs, and new applications of artificial intelligence, social robots and vocal biomarkers are creating new

opportunities for health, we are now facing the next great challenge: integrating these technologies in healthcare delivery, wellness and daily living.

The societies across the globe are mostly eager to see happening the digitization of the health and care systems such as other services and sectors,

but, at the same time, technologies need to serve the human and don’t compromise important values of health such as privacy or security.

Canadian European Trade Assembly (CETA) for Digital Health

Join us in Ottawa, Canada on 22-23 October 2018 for the Canadian European

Trade Assembly for Digital Health. This international conference is hosted by

the Canadian Integrated Health Alliance (www.cihalliance.org); in partnership

with the European Connected Health Alliance (www.echalliance.com), and is

designed to connect Canadian, American and European stakeholders in the

rapidly emerging fields of digital health and social care.

Impetus for the meeting is the Comprehensive Economic and Trade

Agreement – the recently ratified free-trade agreement between Canada, the

European Union and its member states. As it goes into force this year, CETA will

eliminate 98% of the tariffs between Canada and the EU.

The Ottawa conference will explore how free trade can accelerate the

transnational exchange of information, products and services between European

and Canadian digital healthcare organizations.

22 – 23 October 2108 – Ottawa Canada

Registration: Standard rate: 450$. ECHAlliance members FREE
