Our Health Innovation Network was represented at the Health Care BY Your Side advisory board meeting in Nuremberg and discussed the future of digital health solutions with experts from the healthcare sector, academia, health insurance companies, and clinical practice. The focus was on the current status of the project, the results of the survey of healthcare providers, and the impact of current health policy developments on the project’s future work.

Particular emphasis was placed on the strategic development of the initiatives. In interactive workshops, specific areas of action were identified for the upcoming project phase—ranging from targeted communication and greater involvement of service providers to digital care processes and a consistent patient-centered approach.

Among the key takeaways from the discussion were the emphasis on building health and digital literacy rather than merely raising awareness, the greater involvement of relevant network and care partners, the avoidance of parallel structures by building on existing initiatives, as well as clear measurement of success and the sustainable consolidation of project results.

The outcomes of the advisory board meeting provide important insights for the further development of Health Care BY Your Side and demonstrate once again that the successful implementation of digital health applications is only possible when technological innovations, health literacy, and strong networks are considered together.
