• Creating new approaches in developing preventive and predictive, personalised digital processes, business solutions, business models and strategies.
• Evaluating the impact of citizen-generated health data on a person's health, lifestyle, and adherence to self-care and the healthcare systems.

6G-FSS2, Ubiquitous digital care pathways and service models in secure and intelligent environments:  The aim is to develop advanced digital care pathways between patients and primary healthcare, hospitals and virtual healthcare services, which facilitate efficient participation and extended communication with patients and healthcare professionals on different levels with enhanced security, privacy and trust, quality and reliability of various smart environments and digital applications and healthcare services. In this theme, the research topics include, e.g.:

• Using novel digital services for information management of preventive healthcare to improve a person's health, promote self-care, improve efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare, and generate new value.
• Finding new opportunities and outcomes of secure digital care pathways, service models and novel healthcare technology.
