Thanks to electronic and digital services, patients prospectively will be more involved in deciding on therapies and medications as well as in obtaining information about effects and side effects. They help doctors and nurses with diagnosis and therapy, communication with patients, and database maintenance. 

Companies from the eHealth field received support from the EU through the eHealth Hub project to position themselves in the market and raise their profile. They were also able to take advantage of legal and regulatory advice and participate in workshops on business models. 

A total of 650 companies were reached on an international level. Over 400 companies received support in developing their business models, as well as in accessing financing, commercialization and advice on legal aspects. A total of 45 events and training sessions were held.
