Project Abstract

The Gravitate-Health mission is to equip and empower citizens with digital information tools that make them confident, active, and responsive in their patient journey, specifically encouraging the safe use of medicines for better health outcomes and quality of life. It is our vision that engagement of citizens in their own health can only be achieved when actionable, understandable, relevant, reliable and evidence-based information meets their specific needs, health context, and literacy level. This project's ambition is to provide a key piece to advance this vision: the Gravitate Lens that focuses, not conceals or filters, content from trusted sources (regulator-approved ePIs) content for the user.

The Gravitate-Health is an integrated digital health information project. The principle objective is to demonstrate how the use of an integrated, digital, user-centric health information solution with two-way communication could enable tangible improvements in the availability and understanding of health information from a set of trusted sources, starting with the medicinal product information, EHR-IPS, and Medicinal compendiums. The secondary objectives are to demonstrate that the improved availability and understanding of health information from trusted sources translates to higher levels of adherence to treatment, safer use of medication (Pharmacovigilance), better health outcomes and quality of life, and develop new and deeper insights into how the use of available health information can be optimised to act as effective risk minimisation measure. This allows for efficient and timely development of G-lens, provides testing grounds for new services and an evaluation framework to test the efficiency, efficacy and safety of Gravitate-Health services.

Gravitate-Health is a Public-Private Partnership with 42 members from Europe and the US bringing all necessary competencies to address the challenges in the IMI call 18, topic 3.
