Sessions

In this lecture, Marc Farr and Jake Arnold-Forster (guests from the UK) talk through the application of SOPs, discuss how they are created and made available in healthcare clinics and enhancing them with digital technology, how this helps to scale up innovative ways of working in line organisation and what effects this has created. 

This is a session presenting basic recommendations intended to facilitate the planning (and implementation) of national legislation on secondary use of health data. These recommendations are based on a summary on a multinational level of the experiences and conclusions of pioneering European countries that already have such national legislation, in combination with the needs of other European countries in this respect.

This presentation will introduce the results of the joint Nordic PROTECT project (“Proactive health and welfare technology for Nordic users and societies”, 2021-2023) and discuss them with a future-oriented perspective. PROTECT has brought together a large group of Nordic researchers from several fields as well as stakeholders (altogether nearly 200 workshop participants from four countries). The new knowledge co-created in PROTECT contributes to understanding the specific contexts and life situations where proactive health and welfare technology (HWT) is expected to be increasingly applied in the Nordic countries. The new knowledge also encourages and enables further research on the topic. Sharing research-based knowledge about the similarities and differences in proactive HWT services, implementation, and policies – including challenges in proceeding from piloting to implementation – across the Nordic societies enables better overall understanding of the experiences and expectations of diverse users in the individual countries and in the region. This, in turn, will help improve policy interventions and innovations to enhance proactive and resilience-supporting HWT use and the quality of life and work of Nordic citizens and caregivers.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a serious inherited disease that causes high cholesterol from childhood and increases the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke. Unfortunately, many people with FH go undiagnosed.
FHabian is a digiphysical tool developed in Sweden to screen families for FH. The tool, developed by BCB Medical, makes it easy to invite all relatives of an index patient to be screened for FH. It enables seamless screening across healthcare regions, an overview of the number of people invited to screening and a number of people getting tested. It also provides an overview of the results and follow-up and communicates results of testing. FHabian has been in operation in the Stockholm Region since February 2021 and will soon expand to other regions in Sweden. With this innovative tool, it is hoped that more people with FH can be diagnosed and treated early, reducing their risk of serious cardiovascular events.
