The document discusses directions for ICT research to support disease prevention by empowering citizens through personalized assistance. It describes the PREVE project which aims to identify ICT research directions for disease prevention by analyzing user needs, business models, and technologies through a series of workshops. The document also discusses how preventable diseases are associated with risk factors like diet, physical activity, and environment which can be addressed through profiling individuals and influencing their choice architectures.
The patient of the past is not the patient of the future.
Mayo Clinic is currently engaged with the Center for Innovation in a multi-year initiative to redesign their outpatient practice, a necessary step for any large healthcare provider who hopes to be relevant and financially aligned with the future. The organizational and operational design of the current clinic has been influenced by the patient of the past and their medical needs. From our exploration, we hypothesize that today’s patient is significantly different from the patient of the past and new care models should better support the needs, goals, motivations, and emotions of these new patients. Additionally, we believe that the patient of today will continue to change, allowing us to consider a new paradigm of flexible, evolving care models that continue to adapt to the changing needs of patients.
The goal of this presentation will be to share how the current patient and patient of the future differs from the patient of the past and tie these findings to the on-going design explorations being conducted at Mayo Clinic.

The document discusses the potential of personal health systems and mobile health (mHealth) technologies to support behavior change and chronic disease management. It makes three key points:
1) Chronic disease prevention and management is a major challenge that requires behavioral changes supported by tools like personal health systems.
2) Citizens are key co-producers of their own health, and their behaviors strongly influence health outcomes. Technologies can help promote healthier behaviors.
3) Personal health systems using mobile technologies, connected devices, self-monitoring, and persuasive feedback techniques can help catalyze behavioral changes needed to improve health and reduce healthcare costs.
pHealth - Lessons learned from products and projectPREVE group
This document discusses directions for ICT research in disease prevention. It summarizes lessons learned from existing ICT projects and products dealing with primary prevention. Many projects and websites focus on diet and physical activity as the leading preventable risk factors for diseases. Personalized risk assessment and defining individualized prevention strategies are challenging but important. Sustainable behavioral changes require a comprehensive psychological approach and support from social networks and ambient intelligence technologies that do not overly intrude on daily life.
This document provides directions for research on using information and communication technologies (ICT) to prevent disease. It outlines a process called PREVE for creating personalized health interventions. The PREVE process involves creating a personal profile to assess an individual's health behaviors, risks, motivations, and resources. Based on this profile, goals are set and interventions are brokered from a network of technologies and services. Progress towards goals is then evaluated. The document also discusses determinants of health behavior, intervention logic, and outlines an expert workshop to further the research.
pHealth - User profiling and segmentationPREVE group
This document discusses directions for ICT research to support disease prevention through lifestyle interventions. It notes that lifestyle factors contribute significantly to disease burden. Personalized interventions are needed to motivate behavior change, which is difficult. Profiling individuals can identify risk factors, motivations, and barriers to change. Tailored guidance and support on multiple levels can strengthen intentions and abilities to adopt healthy behaviors. ICT platforms could enable low-cost, personalized interventions by facilitating interactions between individuals and relevant organizations. The goal is to create sustainable behavior change through coordinated, multi-level interventions.

The document analyzes primary and secondary prevention strategies deployed in ongoing EU funded personal health systems projects, commercial products, websites, and public health campaigns. It finds that initiatives focus mainly on specific diseases or risk factors in isolation, with little interoperability. Secondary prevention experiences outnumber primary prevention initiatives. Successful business models are often simple consumer products rather than complex solutions for primary prevention. Most solutions involve individuals and sometimes healthcare systems, but reduced participation from other actors in a co-creator model of health.
This document outlines a model for citizens to become co-producers of their own health, especially regarding chronic diseases and prevention, enabled by information and communication technologies. It proposes a Personal Guidance System (PGS) that provides citizens with personalized data, information, knowledge, and decision support to navigate their health. The PGS would integrate inputs from various health providers and services. It conceptualizes an "eco-system" with three layers: a model library maintained by patient organizations, platforms for ICT services built by enterprises, and specified standards. The goal is evidence-based, context-aware decisions around modifiable risk factors and their connections to conditions to support long-term health navigation by informed citizens.

Presentation carried out by Niels Boye during the presention of MCI Healthy Living in Valencia the 29th Setember, 2011.
Healthy Ageing, Chronic Disease Management, and Co-production of Health and Care in the European Union
This document discusses a conceptual framework for chronic disease management that positions the citizen as an active co-producer of their own health, enabled by information and communication technologies (ICTs). It presents the citizen as co-producer model, which personalizes prevention and management of chronic diseases in a citizen-centered context using multilevel ICT modeling of health encapsulated in personal devices. This shifts from supply-side provider-driven systems to demand-side citizen-driven approaches, empowering citizens through access to personal data, information, and knowledge.
This document discusses how broadband technologies can enable personalized and participatory medicine. It describes how broadband can help improve youth mental health services and aged care through remote monitoring, telehealth, and electronic health records. The convergence of medicine and digital technologies is creating an information ecosystem that will facilitate more efficient preventative, diagnostic and therapeutic solutions where citizens have access to their genetic and health data. High-capacity broadband networks that transmit large volumes of data will be important for concepts like personalized medicine and participatory health to become feasible.
This document summarizes a European Union funded research project that aims to investigate the health benefits of natural outdoor environments. The project will:
1) Examine the underlying mechanisms by which nature impacts health, including stress reduction, physical activity, and pollution exposure.
2) Study the effects on different population groups across multiple European regions.
3) Inform land use planning and green space management based on evidence of nature's preventive and therapeutic health impacts.
Health and Biomedical informatics aims to use information processing for preventative medicine. The presentation outlines current challenges in medicine including the need for earlier diagnosis, personalized therapies, and improved disease classification. It presents a vision called "Health by Equation" which uses an informatics system to calculate an individual's health profile based on genetic and environmental factors to guide prevention and treatment recommendations. Opportunities from health informatics and technology include measuring an individual's genome, phenome, and exposome over lifetime through various sensors. This enables concepts like personalized medicine, participatory health through social media, and crowdsourced clinical trials.
Planning the Development of the Singapore National Health PortalAnthony Fanning
The document summarizes the planning process for developing the Singapore National Health Portal. It discusses the goals of creating a unified health portal to empower individuals to better manage their health. The portal will provide personal health records, health management tools, and access for clinicians. It outlines a phased rollout strategy over several years to gradually expand features and user base. Key challenges mentioned are standardizing data sharing across providers and ensuring user privacy, legal issues are addressed, and stakeholders are engaged to support adoption.
The document provides information about disability, including its definition, causes, types, prevention, and evaluation. It defines disability as a restriction or lack of ability to perform activities normally. The main causes of disability discussed are nutritional deficiencies, weapons/violence, chemicals, aging, diseases, and accidents. Types of disabilities covered are visual, hearing, locomotor, intellectual, and others. The document emphasizes the importance of prevention through primary, secondary, tertiary, and primordial approaches. It also describes the process and components of disability evaluation, including history, examination, diagnosis, training, and guidance.
The rise of the 'ePatient': how it is affecting clinical practice and research
The document discusses how engaged patients, or "ePatients", who actively gather their own health data and conduct their own research are affecting clinical practice and research. It describes how ePatients are empowered through personal health records, diagnostic testing, genomic data, and self-monitoring devices. This shift towards participatory health challenges traditional clinician-led models and will require changes in areas like privacy, education, and how data is integrated into care.
Strengthening health systems for equitable eye careSandeep Buttan
This document discusses priorities for strengthening eye care in India within the broader context of health systems. It argues that eye care needs to move beyond a vertical, disease-specific approach and integrate within health systems to address wider determinants of health and maximize synergies. A systems approach is needed that focuses on governance, human resources, infrastructure, service delivery, community involvement and cross-cutting issues like equity and sustainability. International agencies should support this transition by advocating for policies, allocating resources, developing human capital, fostering partnerships and generating evidence on the benefits of systems-level interventions for eye and overall health.
The document discusses Continua Health Alliance, an organization working to advance remote patient monitoring through open interoperability standards. It aims to address the growing costs of chronic diseases by enabling up to 60% of medications to be taken correctly through remote monitoring solutions. Continua brings the healthcare and technology industries together to develop guidelines and certify products, helping create an ecosystem to support the expanding connected health market, estimated to grow to $7.7 billion by 2012.
The document discusses the transition from personalized medicine to personal health. It notes the current challenges in medicine including the need for earlier diagnosis, more personalized therapies, and improved disease classification. Personalized medicine uses an individual's genetic and molecular profile to guide risk assessment and treatment. However, personal health empowers patients by providing them access to their own health data through technologies like sensors, apps, and personal health records. This allows patients to better monitor and manage their health. Realizing personal health will require overcoming challenges regarding privacy, security, and ensuring equitable access to technologies and data interpretation.

The document discusses several key points about childhood cancer survivorship:
1) As treatment outcomes have improved, the worldwide population of childhood cancer survivors has increased each year. However, survivors face higher risks of adverse long-term outcomes and mortality as adults due to their prior treatment.
2) Up to 30% of survivors experience health issues later in life as a result of their previous cancer treatment, such as organ dysfunction, growth and developmental problems, secondary cancers, and psychosocial challenges.
3) Guidelines from medical organizations recommend risk-based, lifelong medical follow-up for survivors that includes cancer screening and prevention strategies tailored to each individual's cancer, treatment history, and genetic factors.
This document discusses several key ethical issues in public health, including disparities in health and access to care, responding to infectious diseases, international health cooperation, exploitation of individuals, health promotion, and ensuring participation, transparency and accountability. It also compares research activities and non-research public health practices, noting some common ethical tensions between individual and community interests as well as oversight mechanisms.

Prevention of diseases
WHY, WHAT and HOW
Niilo Saranummi
niilo.saranummi@vtt.fi
This project is partially funded under the 7th Framework Programme by the European Commission
4. Prevention is the best strategy
• The best strategy for prevention is to lead a healthy
lifestyle.
– According to WHO, 77% of the disease burden in Europe is
accounted for by disorders related to lifestyles. Furthermore, 70%
of stroke and colon cancer, 80% of coronary heart disease, and
90% of type II diabetes could be prevented by maintaining healthy
lifestyles.
• Although we are constantly “bombarded” with health
promotion information that we should exercise regularly,
eat healthy, control our weight, sleep enough, manage
stress, not smoke and use alcohol only moderately etc. as
a population we are not doing a good job in acting
according to this advice.
www.preve-eu.org
5. But people need assistance
• Based on this it should be clear that we as individuals
need assistance in primary prevention.
• The questions are
– What kind of assistance and
– How the assistance should be made available / offered and
– How to ensure that the assistance provides effective help to the
individual in changing and maintaining her lifestyle.
www.preve-eu.org
7. PREVE – in brief
A Support Action, under the 4th FP7 ICT Call
• Objective
– Focused on how the citizen can be empowered by ICT solutions
and services in disease prevention and the preservation of health
• What PREVE delivers
– A White Paper* identifying ICT research directions in disease
prevention for the empowerment of citizens highlighting the need
to approach this topic from multiple complementary viewpoints.
