Last week we attended the I Tomando el Pulso a la Salud Digital Meeting (Checking the Pulse of eHealth) organized by the eHealth Association. For those who don´t know it, this Association´s objective is to become a plural meeting point for eHealth, where present and future of our society can be expressed in their full potential. You can consult here its webpage and its Statement.

I would like to greet this initiative and for being so brave to organize this kind of event.

I´m going to highlight the event´s contents, and then I will express my very own opinion.

The first keynote by Claus F. Nielsen called: Personalizing health for people: Stop talking – start acting was very interesting. He talked about the difficulties a father faces to control his child´s diabetes, and how he has been testing several wearable models.

Next they held a round table on “The State of the situation of eHealth Indicators” . It was very clear stated that there is a lack of standards in health data codification, and the problem this raises.

The following speech presented one of the first projects the Association is going to develop, which is the eHealth Observatory.

In his speech “European Finincing R&D&I eHealth”, Mario Carabaño informed us about the opportunities Europe brings for fininancing eHealth projects.

In the after lunch session, the first presentation focused on big corporations and the projects they are developing  in eHealth: Por la tarde, La primera ponencia se dedicó a las grandes empresas y los proyectos que desarrollan en este ámbito: Siemens, General Electric, Deloitte, Telefónica.  Many lights to their developments, but also some shadows.

Finally Public Administrations showed us their advances, but regretfully without a common vision as a country.

We heard a lot about gathering clinical histories data and assesment systems data (scaner, pathologic anatomy, etc..), connected clinical services,.. All great projects headed by big shots and already implemented in some regions. But in the Health industry, and specifically in Bio and Digital sectors, there are also big projects in the several years of established companies. Some of them are already trading in MAB, and small startups like NeuronUP, that in only three years operating have already reached 1,300 professionals working with the platform in 10 countries. We do hope that in the next events we can also talk about the population we are working with, whose importance and magnitude is well proven given the national and global figures.

We can´t forget to thank the eHealth Association their effort to hold this initiative and wish luck in all the other actions they want to carry. Let´s try to be there to help to some extent from our humble position
