Medical Delta Living Lab 'Data supported healthcare & innovation'

Healthcare systems around the world are under pressure. Digitalization is seen as a key pillar for transformation. Data technology, and AI in particular, have the potential to support healthcare in various ways. However, developments in this field are advancing so quickly that there is not enough knowledge, skills, and insights to develop digital innovations that are actually used in healthcare practice. 

The potential of AI and digitalization for healthcare is therefore not being fully realized. Healthcare personnel are often not sufficiently familiar with it, and for innovators, it proves challenging to develop applications that address the often complex and critical challenges in healthcare. Complicating matters further is the difficulty of sharing data and applying data analysis due to privacy concerns. 

Develop best practices and digital ecosystem

The Medical Delta Living Lab 'Data supported healthcare & innovation' aims to share knowledge and establish a data infrastructure to drive the digital transformation in healthcare. The living lab does this by developing best practices for data-supported care and innovation. In co-creation with relevant stakeholders and through large-scale (inter)national initiatives such as Health-RI and Beterketen Hospitals, collaborations are formed to develop various use cases in the areas of chronic diseases, dementia, genetics, sports, and well-being

Medical Delta Living Lab 'Data supported healthcare & innovation' is also developing a (digital) ecosystem (data infrastructure and learning community) where these use cases can be executed using so-called Federated Learning. This is a decentralized and privacy-friendly form of machine learning, allowing data to be securely exchanged and used for research and analysis—something that is currently challenging. 

Goals

Digitalization and AI can support healthcare by, for example, reducing administrative burdens, aiding in early detection and prevention, personalizing care, and providing the right care in the patient’s living environment. The Medical Delta Living Lab 'Data supported healthcare & innovation' aims to take concrete steps in these areas. 

Some goals are:

• Creating a digital ecosystem where secure data exchange and co-creation are ensured.
• Developing best practices to support the future development of AI applications in healthcare.
• Developing applications that contribute to the transformation of healthcare, with an emphasis on socially responsible development.
