All our projects aim to simplify health data collection and make it usable for patients and other stakeholders while ensuring privacy and ethical principles. We examine what matters to patients and how best to capture this information. In this way, we support patients to understand their own diseases and health conditions better, to communicate their needs more clearly, and to actively participate in their care.
