The role of intelligent health technologies in preventive care

Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. To ensure quality health services or preventive care, it is essential to implement good practices and policies adapted to new realities and technologies. This adaptation enables the healthcare system to respond more effectively to the current needs of patients and to promote innovation in service delivery. The main aim of our work is to identify projects at European and national level regarding the digitization of medical services, highlighting smart technologies that bring significant benefits to healthcare, optimizing patient monitoring and providing personalized treatment through artificial intelligence and telemedicine. Based on best practices revealed by innovative hubs like SHIFT HUB, a European project, financed by Horizon Europe with the aim of establishing a collaboration hub for smart medical technologies and innovation, by creating a network of relevant actors from the national and European health systems, we will demonstrate that these solutions reduce pressure on health systems and improve chronic disease management, integrate digital education and modern methods, increasing patient engagement. SHIFT HUB introduces innovative methods and a gamified e-learning experience to improve digital literacy and encourage citizen and patient interaction with new health technologies. In this paper, we will present the benefits this project has for patients but also for ordinary citizens and how a technical pilot platform can help society evolve.
