The objective

How can a bottom-up approach facilitate effective innovation policy which provides both new and incrementally improved healthcare products, services and processes in order to enable European citizens to live healthier, longer lives while also being better able to manage their own healthcare?

Utilising the Co-creation approach to innovation in healthcare, Epposi will examine practical ways to render European innovation policies complementary to and enhancing towards the realities of stakeholders across regions.

Expected outcomes

1. Mapping of Best practice case examples: The discovery and examination of several areas that have successfully used a more community-based approach to healthcare innovation than traditional policy and practice.
2. Development of a series of business models based on best practices which are scalable and transferable: Using these example areas to see what works and what still needs further improvement, we will design and develop an "ideal."
3. Evidence-based policy recommendations on how to streamline facilitation of a bottom-up approach to innovations in healthcare leading to a road map or plan will be outlined so that this project is not just a policy recommendation, but also a practical guide to creating more community-based healthcare services.
