Description

More effective and quicker e-health solutions are necessary in order to save the time and environment. Project idea is to create a mobile device based environment for sharing information between the patient and healthcare provider that is based on an online platform supporting HL7 standards and thereby making it independent from the hospital’s information system. The solution would help to increase the healthcare providers’ everyday work process efficiency and customer satisfaction. This project, supported under the small grant scheme, will aim to further elaborate the project idea with the aim of preparing the project application for the main open call under the GII programme. The project aim is to carry out market research, to analyse the legal framework that regulates patient data handling, to assess the feasibility and sustainability of mobile patient portal and to search for potential partners (also from Norway) to be involved in the project.

Summary of project results

The project was needed to develop a mobile patient portal in order to efficiently share information between the patients and healthcare providers. The solution would help to increase the healthcare providers’ everyday work process efficiency and customer satisfaction by providing the patient with an easy to use, secure and modern environment for viewing and editing their medical data thus turning their medical case records into personal health records. The objective of this small grant scheme project was to conduct preparatory steps in the course of submitting an open call project: carry out market research; analyse the legal framework that regulates patient data handling; assess the feasibility and sustainability of mobile patient portal and to search for potential partners to be involved in the project. As project promoter has submitted final report with an overview of the conducted studies and a comprehensive business idea analysis, the outcome is considered reached. Project did not end with donor partnership project in the open call competition, hence there are no donor partnership results to be presented.
