Scope and objectives

Gravitate Health will deliver an open source digital platform supporting G-Lens functionally, demonstrated in a number of testing scenarios, and a White Paper with recommendations on realistic strategies to strengthen access, understanding and future use of digital services like electronic production information (ePI) as a tool for Risk Minimization.

Gravitate Health services and G-lens will be developed and tested within the project, using an evaluation framework to test the efficiency, efficacy, and safety of Gravitate-Health services.

Gravitate Health’s main objectives are:

1 – to develop an integrated, digital, user-centric health information solution with two-way communication for the public, so that health information from a set of trusted sources is available and understandable, such as the package leaflet content and EHR-IPS (International Patient Summary).

2 – to promote adherence to treatment, safer use of medication (Pharmacovigilance), better health outcomes and quality of life through improved availability and understanding of health information.
