BIO-X ® call May 2014
ICT-healthcare solutions to improve
personalised treatment and care
What do we mean by
personalised treatment and care?
• Everyone wants to make the right decision for
treatment and care of the individual
• Every individual should derive maximum benefit
from any treatment or care regime
• Risks of harmful or adverse events must be
minimized
ICT solutions can help
• Support healthcare professionals, individuals
and carers
• Better tools for
– Timely communication between everyone involved
– Access to all relevant information
– Effective data collection
Do you know of a problem that hinders
personalised treatment or care?
• The problem could be
– at any stage in the healthcare process
– associated with multiple or specific
disease(s)/patient group(s)
Can you suggest a ICT-based solution?
• Proposal should be a novel, ICT-based idea with
potential to benefit healthcare in general and become a
commercially-viable solution
• Your solution must give direct benefit to the individual
receiving treatment or care, e.g.
– Increase cure rates or survival times, reduce risk of side-effects,
minimize discomfort
– Empower individuals to participate in management of their own
health e.g. through self generated data
– Support medical providers or caregivers in making correct
decisions for treatment, care, and/or medication tailored to the
individual
