Digital Health Uptake (DHU) is offering financial support to third parties to support the implementation of technical assistance and training activities aimed at enabling training users to apply and make use of key methods and tools that support digital health implementation and scale up.
What is the Call for technical assistance and training (TA&T)?
The Call for technical assistance and training offers financial support for organizing digital health training and activities.
- Its goal is to accelerate and streamline the process of deployment and upscaling of digital health in the context of the implementation, tapping into the knowledge and peer-support of digital health experts recruited specifically to deliver these support services.
- A budget of €21,000 has been allocated to fund 7 potential trainings or technical activities to stimulate knowledge exchange, training, digital know-how transfer, and the adoption of innovative practices between European regions and countries.
What types of technical assistance and training are being funded?
The support mechanism consists of online sessions (open or restricted/closed) provided by the DigitalHealthUptake consortium. These sessions focus on a specific tool designed to speed up and improve the deployment and expansion of digital health services.
- What do open sessions mean?
At an open session, the target organizations can come from health and care services, digital health technology organisations, and digital innovation hubs or public authorities.
- What do restricted/closed sessions?
In restricted or closed sessions, the participants will be from the DHU Twinning programme or institutions associated with the Active and Healthy Ageing/Living (AHA/AHL) Reference Sites Regions. These sessions are particularly beneficial for those implementing digital health solutions, especially those supporting integrated care and health promotion.
