Abstract
A human-centered, health data-driven ecosystem
Value-based, connected and integrated healthcare are gaining momentum in the healthcare landscape. Industry 4.0 is transforming healthcare into a data-driven sector. Data and innovation are the foundations of future value-driven healthcare ecosystems. But how will the human aspect remain to play a lasting role? Healthcare continuums are being rolled out as healthcare goes beyond traditional diagnosis and treatment towards prevention and early detection. Health institutions are facing a new generation of ‘health-conscious’ consumers and ‘technology-minded and -adapted’ healthcare professionals. In order to accelerate innovation within healthcare institutions, it must be powered by the personal health-data of an individual, independent of location, life phase and health status. This data will be continuously generated by the daily use of different technologies. Based upon these concepts and shifts, this paper describes a human-centered, health data-driven ecosystem that is built upon the interaction and balance of human actors in every life phase, different environments and societal changes and with different technologies. International and national guidelines and regulations, and ethical norms and values need to be taken into account. Implementation of this health data model will create future value at any time, place and location within this ecosystem. This ecosystem will create value through the realized integrated care by connecting diverse human actors, different environments and various technologies, while still maintaining the empathic relations between the caretaker and the patient/client.
