Challenges identified during inDemand in the pilot regions

inDemand is a new co-creation model where Healthcare organizations (Challengers) and companies (Solvers) co-develop Digital Health solutions, with the economic support of public regional funds managed by Regional funding organisations (Funders). inDemand targets to solve Challenges identified by the Healthcare organizations. The first phase focuses on the need identification by the Challenger (Healthcare organisation), who launches an internal call for challenges (i.e.needs) among the professionals in the organisation. During the inDemand project challenges were identified in three pilot regions (Murcia, Oulu and Paris) in two different iterations: Paris 1st call: 05/01/2018 to 31/01/2018 Oulu 1st call: 09/01/2018 to 28/01/2018 Murcia 1st call: 06/11/2017 to 20/11/2017 Paris 2nd call: 15/11/2018 to 31/12/2018 Oulu 2nd call: 20/09/2018 to 06/10/2018 Murcia 2nd call: 15/10/2018 to 09/11/2018 In prevision of the Call for Challenges, a questionnaire (common for the 3 pilot regions) was created to collect the most important information necessary to assess and select the challenges in each region: Responsible of the challenge (name, position, department, email, etc.): anonymised for publication in Zenodo. Title and acronym of the challenge Definition of the challenge (description of the problem, overview of the current way or working, etc.) Potential scalability of the challenge to other areas/hospitals Expected functional requirements of an ICT solution that could tackle the need Feasibility to implement ICT solutions to address the challenge The commitment of the team to be involved in the inDemand model The data collected was of a qualitative nature. It was received via electronic tool and downloaded into .docx and .pdf formats.
