Innovative Healthcare Processes

Innovative Versorgungsprozesse zeichnen sich durch verschiedene Merkmale aus, die darauf abzielen, die Effizienz, Qualität und Patientenzufriedenheit im Gesundheitswesen zu verbessern. Hier sind einige charakteristische Merkmale solcher Prozesse:

  • Patient-centredness: The patient is at the centre of the care process and his/her individual needs, preferences and goals are taken into account.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration: Collaboration between different health professionals and sectors is encouraged. Doctors, nurses, therapists and other experts work closely together to provide comprehensive and coordinated care.
  • Use of technology: Technology is used to improve the flow of information, facilitate communication and increase efficiency.
  • Prevention and early detection: Preventive measures and early detection of diseases is focused on.
  • Continuity of care: Seamless and continuous care across different levels of care is sought. Transitions between outpatient and inpatient care, rehabilitation and aftercare will be improved to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time.
  • Data-based decision-making: Existing data and analytics are used to make informed decisions and improve care. By collecting and analysing data, patterns and trends can be identified to develop better treatments and strategies.

At AIT, we support medical providers and caregivers in developing innovative digitally-enabled care processes. The KIOLA® framework offers various modules (Disease Plugins) as well as configurable core components (Core Modules) and telemonitoring components (Care Modules), which can be combined to create customised solutions for integrated care. By configuring Careplans, the telemedical treatment of different diseases can be optimally supported in several intensities.

Survivorship Passport - SUPA

The aim of the entire project portfolio is to develop a comprehensive technical infrastructure for a Survivorship Passport (SUPA) as a basis for the follow-up care of successfully treated patients (survivors) after a cancer illness, a severe haematological or immunological illness in childhood or adolescence, as well as those who are at risk of developing a cancer predisposition syndrome. Individually suggested follow-up recommendations based on the therapy of the oncological disease should enable optimised health follow-up and health care in adulthood. In this sub-project, the existing ELGA Outpatient Clinic Report is to be adapted to the requirements of a Surviorship Passport in order to serve as a hub for intersectoral data exchange in the future.

Selected Projects

Tele-Prävention Tirol

Using the AIT Digital Health Platform and the IT infrastructures of d4Health, the following data platform for prevention Tyrol is to be conceptualised within the framework of the project with the following components:

  • Prevention file IT services & prevention pathway
  • Health app prevention
  • Use of specific services such as telehealth service HerzMobil e.g. HealtheBikes and TeleTraining

Standortagentur Tirol:

GWW2 – Tirol=Gesund Kooperationsprojekt „Präventionspfad“

TELEMED5000  

The main objective of the overall project is to develop a system solution that makes REMOTE PATIENT MANAGEMENT (RPM) technically possible for large numbers of patients in regular care. So far, commercial technical solutions are only available for a care capacity of max. 150 patients per TMZ (telemedical centre). New technology developments using artificial intelligence, deep learning and the Internet of Things (IoT) are needed to implement the scaling of RPM.

preDIA

In Austria, there is still a great deal of untapped potential in the integration of digital health applications. Diabetes care is one of the areas that could particularly benefit from the expansion and standardisation of telemedicine offerings. What is needed is a more comprehensive process that addresses four specific areas: Assessment of clinical care delivered using innovative SME technologies, recognition as a medical device, and reimbursement for new digital services and technological conformity with existing systems of electronically stored health information (ELGA).

DemiCare

Living with dementia is a challenge for both patients and their family members. There is often a lack of information on how to deal with dementia patients, too much information can overwhelm people. The project aims to provide information that is geared towards personal needs and supports patients and informal carers during the course of the disease.

Telewundmanagement

This project aims to develop and test a rollout-capable model for the integrated care of patients with chronic wounds. The aim is to improve the quality of treatment and quality of life of patients with chronic wounds while at the same time reducing the number of acute inpatient admissions, readmissions, patient transports and treatments in special outpatient clinics.

Entwicklung und Pilotierung innovativer Digital Healthcare-Projekte 2020 in der Steiermark

Gesundheitstourismus - Tele-Prävention

 

The aim of the research project is the exemplary development of a tele-prevention programme used in tourism (for the Standortagentur Tirol). In addition to the organisational and legal framework conditions, the technical possibilities in health tourism facilities are to be tested. The results of this piloting are also to be included in the development of a concrete health tourism offer.

In order to achieve the project goals, the implementation of the project should include partners from different areas such as tourism, health care, technology and living space Tyrol.

PanCareSurPass

PanCareSurPass will conduct a robust assessment of SurPass implementation by first conducting a preliminary study in six countries representing the three manifestations of health systems in Europe (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Spain). This will include a technological assessment to develop the current SurPass IT infrastructures. Ethical, structural, organisational, economic, national, local, data protection issues, health systems and specific national circumstances will be considered. The data from the cross-national study will enable the development of a predictive model to help decision-makers in additional Member States assess the feasibility of implementing the SurPass in their own settings.
