Health
The global health scenario is increasingly complex, not least in the face of a growing scarcity of human and economic resources and the evolution towards chronicity of many diseases. In addition to this, there is an increasingly strong and manifest desire on the part of people to actively participate in the choices and definition of their health pathways.
Actively involving the citizen-patient and his or her subjective experience of the various stages of the health management pathway is therefore fundamental today in many health care fields: from pharmacological innovation to the provision of effective and efficient services, and the planning, implementation and evaluation of new policies.
EngageMinds HUB fits into this panorama as an international scientific reference point for the design and implementation of initiatives aimed at monitoring and promoting the engagement of the patient and the actors involved in the health system: health professionals working as caregivers, and all the stakeholders involved in the research and provision of treatments, drugs and health services.
