Excerpt: Prof Máire Connolly, Professor of Global Health and PI of the RAPIDE project at the University of Galway confirmed that “RAPIDE’s long-term goal is for healthcare systems across Europe to utilise novel digital health technologies, models, and approaches to enhance regular non-pandemic care during health emergencies. RAPIDE's software tools, logical models, care delivery mechanisms and methods, remote care capabilities, patient-empowering technologies, and training resources—co-created with patients and other stakeholders— will facilitate the transition to new models of care. The hybrid care models being developed could also potentially support health care delivery in rural and remote regions in normal situations.” RAPIDE is an EU-funded multi-disciplinary research project with thirteen partners including the University of Galway coordinated by Professor Aura Timen, MD at the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
