WORKSHOP: Caring for the Homeless is Sharing of Information across Borders Passed

Tuesday May 23, 2023 13:45 - 15:15 R22

Lecturers: Alfred Winter, Anna Kharko, Franziska Jahn, Jaime Delgado, Mira Hercigonja-Szekeres, Romaric Marcilly

Track: MIE: Citizen health informatics

Providing seamless health care to homeless people and refugees is a challenge. Established solutions of medical informatics for information sharing often do not work in these settings. Innovative solutions addressing not only technical issues, but also social and ethical issues are needed for building a trustful digital ecosphere for this vulnerable population. In this workshop, we want to explore the problem in more detail and discuss possible solutions from several perspectives. The workshop is intended to be the starting point to build a European expert consortium that is motivated to further work on this problem and to explore, develop, implement and evaluate possible solutions.
