The International Foundation for Integrated Care is an amazing community for trying cross-sector collaboration and reinventing service design (while studying the process at the same time). NWA had the pleasure of presenting a poster at the 2025 conference event in Lisbon on building a Next Generation Digital Model to support a Salutogenic approach in community care (find it here also).

Co-authored with Eva Turk (UAS St. Pölten), Carina Dantas (SHINE 2Europe), Monika Knudsen Gullslett (Norwegian Centre for E-Health Research), and Gregor Muzak (ZOPS – Slovenian Patients Organisation), the paper focused on how to bridge the possibilities in a digital approach and lived experience with the organizational needs to integrate services.

The event was particularly relevant also in the light of the new MyHealth@MyHands project that intends to build a digital access tool for personal health data for at least 1 mio. Europeans.

The conference in Lisbon gathered hundreds of great experts – it will be a pleasure to participate and hope to reconnect with many in Birmingham in 2026.
