Description
Main characteristics of the health-care market in Europe are increasing costs, ageing population and overburden of the health care workers. To face the challenge, health services must be modified so that administrative assignments are automated or directed to other personas than doctors. The main tool supporting this approach is e-health. The goal of this open call project is to create an ICT solution for doctors and patients “Mobile Workplace of the Family Doctor” that will change supplying and receiving of the doctor’s services more efficient. Solution enables mobile workflow through computers, laptops, tablets, smart phones; partial replacement of the doctor’s visits with web based services; new services for self anamnesis; and additional sources of income for the doctor’s via paid services. Main target markets for the solution are Estonia, Norway, Sweden and Finland as Nordic countries are considered to be ready for integration of a new eHealth tool.
Summary of project results
The project was needed to develop an ICT solution for doctors and patients “Mobile Workplace of the Family Doctor” that will change supplying and receiving of the doctor’s services more efficient. The results are sustained through a working tool that allows mobile workflow through computers, laptops, tablets, smart phones; partial replacement of the doctor’s visits with web based services; new services for self – anamnesis; and additional sources of income for the doctor’s via paid services. The objective of the project was to develop the platform and to test it with a representative of the future target group (family doctors); the objective has been reached in full. Project Promoter has delivered a working technological platform and thereby improved several platform-related processes and smart solutions; hence the outcome is considered to be reached. There are no derivations from the initial project plan, project final report shows accurate and well-planned activities during the project period. Although there were no partners involved in the project, the Project Promoter has shown dedication and commitment towards finding partners in target markets (Nordic countries) and has planned following steps in commercializing the new eHealth platform.
