The European projects, VALUE and HARMONICS ( Harmonising data collection to deliver high value stroke care ), co-financed by EIT Health, and in which the Agency for Health Quality and Assessment of Catalonia (AQuAS) and the Master Plan of the cerebrovascular diseases of the Department of Health , among other bodies and organizations, were selected as finalists in the category of projects in development during the VI SaludDigital Awards gala held in Madrid. The two projects were chosen from among the more than eighty initiatives presented.
The SaluDigital Awards are organized by the Mediforum Group -publisher of the digital media SaluDigital.es and ConSalud.es- and aim to recognize the best technological initiatives, public and private, as well as projects under development to improve health, people’s well-being and quality of life.
Both projects take advantage of common synergies by applying the methodologies and knowledge of the Innovation and Foresight Area of the AQuAS in the field of the adoption of innovative interventions. In this way, the aim is to promote the evaluation and incorporation of digital transformation tools into the Health System to respond to the unmet needs identified as: lack of accurate, timely, complete and coherent data, from which it is possible to to extract information and knowledge for decision-making in clinical practice and, in the Catalan case, especially for acute and post-acute stroke patients.
