The importance of sharing medical data in a health folder was the main theme of this new innovation dissemination format promoted by Espaitec.
In the first session of the debate programme La Clau de la Innovació, entitled "We are Music. Cartography of Health", the debate focused on research and knowledge transfer and on topics focused on the best way to transmit the knowledge acquired and the advances obtained in order to have a more informed patient, with personalized and effective treatments within reach of all citizens.
The format used for this debate was very peculiar, since the day began with the performance of two musical pieces with cellos and then gave way to a debate in a different setting that encouraged discussion of the topic among the participants. With this type of initiatives, it is intended that knowledge reaches all the representatives who are part of integrated healthcare, that it is transversal information for scientists and medical professionals, as well as for the patients themselves and their families, who have a lot What to say in the search for your health as they are the main protagonists.
After a brief introduction, in which we were presented with some ideas such as paying attention to health only when something is not going well or the importance of giving each term its concept and empowering the patient to make decisions once they have the information. , moved on to the screening of a short documentary that supported these ideas mentioned by the attendees.
Some ideas that were pointed out by the speakers were that, even today, the role of the patient needs to be defined and that they must be trained just as professionals are trained. In addition, it was highlighted that people who seek information are generally looking for magic, and it was concluded that there are many hoaxes on the subject of health, which is why it is important to try to create a health folder shared by all communities or even a European health portfolio. To do this, data must be transferred in a controlled manner and in accordance with the law. In this way, if this folder is created, citizens will have a reliable place to go to find out about health issues. Providing reliable and rigorous information can raise collective awareness and change habits to achieve better health for the population.
Finally, there was a small space for the audience and participants to debate their points of view and then move on to a brief relational aperitif in which participants and attendees could talk in a relaxed way.
