PIPS

The PIPS project will make a significant step forward in the processes for healthcare delivery to the European Public by means of creating a new Health and Life Knowledge and Services Support Environment. This will improve current Healthcare delivery models while creating possibilities for Health Professionals to get access to relevant-updated medical knowledge and the European Citizens to choose healthier lifestyles.

The current situation of health services is characterized by the demand of high quality services, available to all social groups and Professionals.

PIPS Project aims to create a new Health and Life Knowledge and Services Support Environment, improving current healthcare delivery models. The main objective is encompassing the entire set of business processes, professional practices and products applied to the analysis and preservation of the Citizen's well-being using the latest innovations in Information Technologies. The project joins Healthcare Suppliers, Citizens, Public Organizations, Food/Drug Industry, Researchers, Health Policy Makers, affected by the health status of individuals.

PIPS results will enable:

  • Professionals to deliver just-in-time personalized and prevention-focused Healthcare services compliant with the Citizen's personal health state, preferences and ambient conditions
  • Citizens to make informed decisions about therapies and nutrition at any time/place according to the real-time evaluation of their health state
  • Healthcare Authorities to improve risk management of Healthcare systems
  • Actors in the Healthcare delivery value chain to get access to and generate valuable information, assuring the global sustainability of the system.
