Digital Empowerment in Health Literacy

Digital technologies can become a catalyst for empowering citizens to develop the ability to access, understand and evaluate medical information, participate actively in the management of their own health and well-being, as well as support innovation in coordinated person-centered care models.

Health literate citizens have a more active role in achieving their health potential and are able to monitor their health, adopt healthy lifestyles at home, in the community and at work and interact better with their doctors and caregivers, receiving and providing feedback. As a result, they are more autonomous, they participate more in social life and, in general, they have an improved quality of life.

Support and improve communication of HCPs with patients and caregivers

(e.g. maximize communication efficiency, ensure the right information is conveyed in an appropriate way, facilitate personalized care and interventions etc.)
