Description

The project contributes to the programme Outcome 1: “Increased competitiveness of Estonian companies within focus areas Green Industry Innovation, ICT and Welfare Technology”.

The aim of the project is to raise the availability of health and lifecycle data in order to enhance the creation of new products, services and solutions by the private sector, novel interventions by the public sector and relevant scientific knowledge by the R&D communities in order to raise life expectancy and prolong healthy life years of people. This will be done by developing a secure data storage, integration, access and analysis toolkit in order to provide large, complex and detailed sets of health and lifecycle data for the public sector, private sector and R&D institutions.

Health Sense will be a virtual environment collecting health, health cycle and lifestyle data for research and service development purposes. In addition, it will provide a toolbox that enables the creation of data analysis-based solutions for prolonging a healthy human life. As the data handled in the environment is sensitive, the tools for safe collection, storage, access and processing of data are an essential part of the provided toolbox. All activities and outcomes of the project will be in line with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
