eHealth and Digital Health is the “new” health. COVID-19 showed that integrated care and digital technologies have an important role to increase healthcare outcomes. The Citizen Empowerment multi-stakeholder communities and initiatives around Europe focused on validating different digital solutions that build the relationship and strengthen cooperation between citizens, patients, and healthcare providers. Further work has been done to involve different stakeholders on individual views and expertise on key subjects, from Interaction between citizens and healthcare providers and citizen empowerment, Implementation of digital health and mHealth projects/initiatives.

In the nutshell, is important to sync and strong the relationship and cooperation between healthcare workers, organisations, citizens and industry and understand how can we develop the digital health curriculum for healthcare workers.
