The DiHECO project aims at studying the role and potential of digital healthcare platforms in the European, mostly publicly arranged, healthcare service ecosystem. The project, divided into a few subprojects, tries to identify areas of research that can grow into impactful larger European projects with industry co-operation. DiHECO aims also at further developing the capacity of participants, particularly the Kaunas University of Technology, to perform relevant research in this area. In its first year, the project has made progress according to plan through joint research activities and networking events. These include the digital health tracks of the researcher and industry forum of the ICTE 2021 conference and two grant writing workshops and a scientific writing workshop.

Due to the strong economic efforts required for de veloping innovative solutions in new promising markets, such those rela ted to eHealth, the sustainability of investment becomes a key element for large and small companies.. Even if it can't guarantee market succe ss, following standards can help guaranteeing long-lasting solutions. Among all innovative sectors, eHealth represents one of the most challenging sectors from the standardization viewpoint as it combines different domains typical of medicin e with other issues such as security, safety, ethics or social guidelines. Most likely, this fragmentation of competences is a component of the difficult diffusi on of standards which undoubtedly characterizes eHealth and is a justific ation of the efforts carried out at an international level, in order to involve all its stakeholders. The aim of the present paper is describing how information on appl ied security and identity management standardization can be provided to users, a...

Purpose – Connected Health is an emerging and rapidly developing field never before witnessed across the healthcare sector. It has the potential to transform healthcare service systems by increasing its safety, quality and overall efficiency. However, as healthcare technologies or medical devices continuously rely more on software development, one of the core challenges is examining how Connected Health is regulated – often impacting Connected Health innovation. The purpose of this paper is to present an understanding of how Connected Health is regulated. Many of these regulatory developments fall under " medical devices " , giving rise to Software-as-a-Medical Device (SaaMD). Design/methodology/approach – Through an extensive literature review, this paper demystifies Connected Health regulation. It presents the outcome of expert discussions which explore the key regulatory developments in the context of Connected Health to provide a practical guide to understanding how regulation can potentially shape healthcare innovation. Findings – Several key issues are identified, and the authors present a comprehensive overview of regulatory developments relating to Connected Health with a view to support the continued growth of IT-enabled healthcare service models. The authors also identify the key challenges in Connected Health and identify areas for future research. Originality/value – A key outcome of this research is a clearer understanding of the opportunities and challenges that regulation and standards present to Connected Health. Furthermore, this research is of critical importance in a first attempt towards recognising the impact of regulation and standards compliance in Connected Health.

El presente trabajo plantea la idoneidad de las visitas a museos como acicate impulsor de la creatividad entre el alumnado. En nuestra investigación hablamos de creatividad inclusiva, puesto que tenemos muy en cuenta la mirada de género cuando nos referimos al fomento de la creatividad. También se ofrece en esta ocasión, por primera vez, la difusión sobre el proyecto I+D titulado “Dechados. Creatividad inclusiva en secundaria mediante la relación entre centros educativos y museos” (referencia PID2021-123007OB-I00). Se trata de un proyecto de investigación orientada, liderado por investigadores consolidados, de la macro-área Ciencias Sociales Educación, aprobado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, en la convocatoria “Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento”. Los investigadores principales del proyecto son Paula Jardón y Ricard Huerta. Se trata de un proyecto promovido por CREARI Grupo de Investigación en Pedagogías Culturales (GIUV2013-103), de la Universitat de València, que cuenta con 17 miembros en el equipo de investigación.
