The IMPROVE Living Lab enhances the use of patient-generated health data (PGHD) by addressing fragmentation, lack of standardisation, and limited clinical usability in digital healthcare systems. It integrates Patient-Generated Health Data to better understand patients’ daily lives and supports the Value-Based Health Care (VBHC) approach through patient-centred outcome measures (PROMs, PREMs, PPI).

The central part of the IMPROVE concept is a digital platform which is developed and tested across multiple domains to improve personalised care, resource allocation, and shared decision-making.

The platform development is supported by three layers. The central layer is based on 9 different use cases from five different therapeutic area. The objective is to test and validate the IMPROVE framework in real-life settings in hospitals and research centres, using a variety of methodological designs to the highest quality standards, and engaging with patients and Health Care Professionals across six countries.

A second layer is established by the IMPROVE Knowledge Warehouse, consisting of 492 relevant review papers. The relevant papers were yielded through the title and abstract screening of more than 18,000 papers within the scope of two Screenathons. Stakeholders' Community Workshops form the third layer of the IMPROVE Living Lab. Stakeholders from academia, economy, politics, public and the natural environment of societies discuss their specific needs and will test the IMPROVE platform.
