Introducing the CRANE project
Together with Data for Good foundation (DfG), METEDA, Tech4Care and Cardiolyse, Partisia is working on a pre-commercial procurement project creating a solution on how to transform healthcare data-management across the European Union.
Municipalities face increasing vulnerability as the proportion of their population aged 65 and older surpasses 19.5%. Many cities in industrialised regions are projected to exceed this threshold within the next 20 years. This demographic shift presents a significant challenge to healthcare systems, which will be under immense pressure to provide adequate care for an ageing population.
A collaborative effort for change in the way we collect and use health data.
Self-Management enchases quick response
The project's objective is to develop a self-management model that enhances the well-being of chronic patients through an open, transparent, and competitive process. The goal is to create a technological infrastructure that complies with GDPR, provides end-to-end data protection, mitigates data breaches, and empowers individuals to retain control and transparency. This will foster new business ecosystems and validate the self-management model in rural areas.
The focus in the project is on three specific chronic diseases:
- Diabetes
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD)
Integrating Data for Improved Health Outcomes
The self-management service will rely on monitoring personal data and facilitating communication and data sharing with healthcare, social care services, and other relevant caregivers and entities. By combining data from various sources, such as smartwatches, phones, and other digital devices, a comprehensive view of an individual's health can be formed. This data can include steps taken, heart rate, and blood sugar levels.
The integrated data points in the platform allow for real-time analysis and the setting of alerts, enabling doctors or informal caregivers (e.g., family members) to monitor health data remotely. This platform enhances self-management and provides access to crucial health information that was previously inaccessible.
When combining those data points it is possible to make an analysis on the points, which will make it possible to set alerts so that other people such as your doctor or your informal caregiver (e.g. your mother or your partner) will be able to connect to your dashboard and get the information about your health data.
The Self-management tool will also give informal caregivers the ability to react to sudden and urgent situations that you won’t yourself be able to react to in a quick manner.
Data for Good Foundation is a Not-for-profit organisation that operates under strict Danish Foundation act. This by definition means that DfG is a credible and independent data ambassador. DfG has made a data infrastructure where citizens can share their data without compromising their privacy, based on the MPC technology provided by Partisia.
With the use of Data for Good platform as an intermediate between service providers and the patients (stakeholders) is a never done before way of consenting to sharing your data. Partisias large contribution to the project is the blockchain technologies used to give proof that somebody consented and has given permission to share their data from external data sources.
Partisias role in the project takes part in a competent consortium to design, develop and test a radically new technological solution that transforms the way personal data is collected, stored and accessed in the health domain in the EU. By providing the Platform Partisia will in other words enable a free movement of health data between different health services, when a consent has been given form the individual.
The CRANE project aims to empower citizens by providing them full control over their health data.
The hope is that when users are giving this transparency and control while still holding their information private, they will have enough trust that they will be willing to share their data.
