PEMS-PC3

The main objective of the PERSONALIZED MEDICINE SERVICE FOR PRIMARY CARE COMMUNITY CENTER (PEMS-PC3) project is to design, deploy and verify the clinical efficacy and economic impact of care pathways created for the selected diseases: COPD, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. These “care pathways” will consist of a set of programs based on a personalized medicine model, in which primary care centers and community centers get coordinated to give support and follow-up to patients who use them with the aim of covering the selected diseases’ health care needs of the population.

This project will design, implement and deploy a personalized service that can be tested in a community center in China. This pilot service will include the following elements / activities: service platform; shared medical history; patient registration; personalized health care plans; clinical and economic validation.
