myHealth@myHands Project kicked off in Dublin
The myHealth@myHands Project was successfully kicked off on the 7th-8th of April, 2025, in Dublin, Ireland. During two productive days filled with engaging workshop sessions, the consortium was able to lay the base for a successful project ahead.
On the 7th and 8th of April, 2025, the myHealth@myHands consortium partners met in Dublin, Ireland to officially kick off the project.
In the beginning of the first day, the frame for the myHealth@myHands project was set by Zoltan Lantos and the Project Officer Giulia Ancillotti, laying the foundation for all further work. Through engaging workshops, the partners used this day to align their objectives and end goals for the overall project and the individual work packages. Through various exercises, the consortium had the opportunity to put themselves into the perspective of our target group –European citizens – as their needs and concerns remain at the heart of the project. Additionally, the consortium discussed and outlined the innovative digital solutions that will be the outcomes of the project, narrowing down their concepts, planning next steps, and defining needed contributions from various work packages.
On the second day of the consortium meeting, the focus shifted to fostering synergies across work packages. The meeting participants examined the intersections and differences between their respective tasks, ensuring a cohesive and effective collaboration. By identifying how workstreams need to interact, the consortium reinforced the importance of collaboration, to ensure the best possible project outcomes.
