European Digital Innovation Hub - Health Hub

The Health Hub is a Digital Innovation Hub, which offers mature digital services and products, by utilizing AI technologies. Its scope is to contribute to the digital transformation of the Greek public and private healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. Challenges, such as the rising costs of Greek NHS due to the increase of chronic diseases or the rising R&D costs are intensifying by a patchy geographical and magnitudinal dispersion of digital maturity in the country. Consequently, the digital transformation becomes imperative both for end users who are seeking access to digital (often remote) health services and stakeholders, who are seeking to accelerate workforce capacities, services and products.
The Health Hub tackle these challenges by taking action in four domains: Supply of testing and experimentation equipment and facilities, which ease the risk for investments• enhancement of digital skills for workforce and wider public along with training provision• Support for stakeholders to find investments• creation of an ecosystem for achieving innovation and opportunities for networking. These are implemented with the provision of expertise by consortium’s partners, along with dedicated infrastructure in central Greece and contact points.
The main stakeholders are the Greek NHS, private healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical companies, tech SMEs and StartUps, while the main beneficiary is the wider public, which will enjoy digital, remote and cost-effective healthcare.
