Digi4HEALTH – A Digital VET Toolkit for Promoting the 4th Industrial Revolution in the European Health SectorNo. 2018-1-UK01-KA202-047909 |

Digital solutions for healthcare can increase the well-being of millions of citizens and radically change the way healthcare is delivered to patients. Emerging technologies such 4G/5G mobile, robots, drones, 3D Printing, Virtual and Augmented Reality are some means by which healthcare professionals will be increasingly supported in their work, all aimed towards enhancing inter-professional cooperation and ultimately personalised patient care. As a result of these technologies, is visible the impact of the 4th industrial revolution on healthcare, known as Health4.0. Thus, healthcare trainers of disciplines such physiotherapy and podiatry need to be urgently assisted to catch up with the range of digital technology advancements taking place due to Health4.0. At the same time healthcare personnel have a difficulty to find the time to attend continuous professional development courses. Nevertheless, they need to be supported learning about digital technologies infiltrating the health sector. For this reason, VET trainers as well as healthcare mentors need a Toolkit with an open repository of relevant training resources to aid them in helping healthcare personnel catch up with Health4.0 technologies even in work-based settings. Focusing on this “Digi4HEALTH” has been developed to support European VET Trainers and health sector mentors and assist healthcare professionals and stakeholders to catch up with technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
