Drawing on the experience of the three stakeholder workshops in Barcelona, Belfast and Berlin, the SmartPersonalHealth project has developed draft recommendations for European, national and regional level policy makers to promote the adoption of interoperable personal health systems. The draft recommendations are based on three stakeholder consultations in March, June and September 2010 with healthcare professionals, device and personal health system (PHS) vendors, and procurers.

This workshop will re-convene the stakeholders to review and refine recommendations to:

  • Improve exchange and cooperation among key stakeholders;and
  • Create a supportive environment (the structures and organisations, measures and processes to support standards development, certification and uptake)

The discussions will analyse the current state of the PHS market, identify complications and issues from the view of selected professionals, and present recommended actions for regulators, national and regional decision-makers, professional stakeholders, industrial stakeholders, and patients.
The workshop will be moderated by professional facilitator Tamsin Rose. Active audience participation is encouraged. It will begin at 13.00 with a welcome lunch and last until 18.30 with an optional dinner in the evening.
