The European Commission (EC) has announced the proposals for Patient-generated evidence to improve outcomes, support decision-making, and accelerate innovation.
Scope
The amount of health data generated by citizens themselves is rapidly increasing. Such data includes patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), patient preference information (PPI), and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs), as well as other digital health data/digital biomarkers. While the potential for these data to be harnessed to improve individual healthcare is enormous, these data are often fragmented among multiple providers, so that neither the citizen, nor the healthcare ecosystem have a comprehensive overview, and therefore it is very challenging to fully use these data to provide reliable evidence for decision-makers, and to improve health outcomes.
Funding Information
The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
- public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Expected Outcomes
Research and innovation (R&I) actions (projects) to be supported under this topic should aim to deliver results that contribute to all of the following expected outcomes for the use cases selected:
- Decision makers have new methods for the integration of PROMs, PPI, and PREMs and other people-generated information into regulatory and health technology assessment (HTA) evaluation processes for integrated healthcare solutions.
- Patients of all ages have access to novel integrated healthcare solutions1 that are developed using structured patient input and better respond to their needs and preferences.
- Researchers have new methodological approaches to elicit and integrate patient preferences into the conception, development, and implementation of integrated healthcare solutions.
- Researchers have wider access to interoperable, quality patient input and patient-generated data, respecting the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles, facilitating the research and development of integrated healthcare solutions.
- Researchers are provided with new outcomes, outcome measures and the time horizon over which value should be assessed to develop appropriate tools and methods for the collection and analysis of PROMs, PPI, and PREMs.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- the Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions;
- the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States;
-
eligible non-EU countries:
