Cancer is a natural phenomenon and as such it should be amenable to mathematical and computational description. Clinically driven complex multiscale cancer models can produce rather realistic spatio-temporal simulations of concrete clinical interventions such as radio-chemotherapy applied to individual patients. Clinical data processing procedures and computer technologies play an important role in this context. Following clinical adaptation and validation within the framework of clinico-genomic trials, models are expected to enhance individualized treatment optimization.

Cutting costs today often means postponing fundamental investments and opportunities to reduce debt, secure better care, and provide broader access. Collectively, we must invest in preventіon and provide better care through innovation and efficiencies. Rapidly ageing population requires a shift towards pervasive social services, the deliіvery of cure and care beyond the boundaries of hospitals and shaping polices and services for healthier cities.

This catalogue provides an overview of the 102 projects that have resulted from the first four calls published by the Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme (AALJP). This is an insight into the products, systems and services that are being developed by hundreds of small and medium enterprises, research, user organisations and others, throughout Europe.

The healthcare industry is shifting toward a performance-driven, outcomes-based model. Organizations face growing expectations for value and accountability and the rise of healthcare consumerism. They are pursuing collaborative approaches and increasing focus on patient centricity, wellness and prevention. As service delivery models expand at community, country and global levels, payer and provider boundaries are blurring.

Attacks on patient privacy are of rapidly-growing concern in the UK. There are regular reports of serious data breaches by members of staff which can harm patients, damage the reputations of healthcare providers and erode confidence in electronic care. 'Make or Break - Digital Healthcare and Privacy Reach the Tipping Point' is a new white paper from FairWarning®, the inventor and global leader in privacy breach monitoring and detection for healthcare. It provides incisive analysis of the issues and how they affect key stakeholders, offering sustainable solutions which mean that healthcare providers can rest assured that the confidentiality of their patients is properly protected.

This report analyses the opportunities for Luxembourg to implement an interoperability platform for electronic health services and provides recommendations for this platform as well as for related preliminary decisions to be taken. In 2006, the Government Council of Luxembourg approved a national eHealth plan which was developed by a working group of stakeholders in the healthcare sector in Luxembourg.

In September 2011, FairWarning® commissioned New London Consulting to develop a survey of United Kingdom patients of care providers to determine how patient privacy considerations impact the actual delivery of healthcare and to what degree patients believed healthcare executives and managers should be held accountable for healthcare privacy protections and breaches. The survey was designed to garner a baseline understanding of patient beliefs relative to a care providers' legal, ethical and moral responsibility to protect patient privacy.
