First, patients need to become the owners of their own health by giving them access, new insights and control of their own data through notions of GDPR legislation and the new European data strategy. Health data are usually seen as a personal possession, but this opens up a range of new possibilities to provide citizens with systems that offer them better control of their health data and the ability to share the data when appropriate. This will make them understand that data can be used for the greater good at the same time that to improve their own health and well-being.

The current structure of storing health data at healthcare and social care institutions is connected to legislation rather than providing the citizens with the best opportunity to utilize their data. Moreover, health and social care systems have different structures and the actual technologies for self-monitoring at home are rarely transferred between healthcare and social service providers. Therefore, is necessary to involve and share in the new model design, data from all critical actors: citizens, eHealth and the welfare tech industry as well as healthcare and social service providers (private and public).

The next step will be to bring cutting-edge innovation and trend technologies into the system to make the most of the collected data. A data lake can in a simple form serve as a safe harbour to store personal health data for citizens. But CRANE aims to develop a more advanced data lake applicable to different services as well as to different research, innovation and development activities. To ensure its success is also needed to build trust with the patients through transparent and open policies as well as applying a feedback system to demonstrate gains for the individuals, both in the short and long run. In this context, CRANE will base its platform on the latest encryption technology to develop a secure public-private data lake platform.

The multidimensional needs of the individual would need more than just technology at home. The garden of care around the patient, which starts with healthcare and social care services, needs to be flexible to adapt dynamically to each person needs and the social context. CRANE garden of care will be tailored to improve control, safety, security, freedom and awareness of citizens well-being.

Moreover, a person able to become a self-managed chronic patient will also need: Data management and digital literacy, health literacy about his/her condition and motivation, adapted to her/his personality. Provide citizens with these tools will empower them to take responsibility for the design of their individual integrated care model and become self-responsible for their own health. This empowerment will improve patient’s self-esteem making the system fully succeed.

• Generate evidence on results
• Be ready for a value-based service procurement when the project ends.
• Evaluate the performance of suppliers and solutions in CRANE.
• Identify areas of opportunities
• Help the innovators to complete a product that the health service wants
