Knowledge Pill #2 – Technology Developments & Knowledge Sharing

This meeting of our ePI Technology Community explored how ePI is revolutionising the way patients and healthcare professionals access, understand, and interact with medicine information. From paper to digital, and now toward intelligent, interoperable formats, the latest innovations, challenges, and real-world use cases driving this transformation were discussed.

Knowledge Pill #3 – Clinical Practicalities
|
|
|
PredictBy, a Gravitate Health partner, is the lead of the recently published study in Nature Scientific Reports which explores the effects of information provision and salience on vaccine hesitancy. The study team found that simply providing electronic Product information (ePI) can increase hesitancy, likely because negative information is strongly highlighted. This study is among the first to provide evidence of the potential negative behavioural effects of vaccine information provision.

Knowledge Pill #4 – Vision & Outreach
|
|
|
|
|
Ιn our latest interview, professor and member of Gravitate Health Guendalina Graffigna highlights a key challenge: while patient leaflets are widely read, they are not always understood. In fact, 42% of over-the-counter (OTC) medicine users report difficulties in comprehension. To address this, she emphasises the need for improved accessibility through digital tools, clearer formatting, and focused health literacy. strategies.

A Scientific Tutorial Article
|
|
|
Members of Gravitate Health recently published a paper aiming to present the use of the Delphi consensus methodology to develop KPIs for the evaluation of novel digital health interventions. As a result substantial indicators being used to capture real-world data in developing and evaluating digital health interventions are provided. The list of KPIs will be useful to a broad group of stakeholders, such as international networks, investors, public authorities or policymakers, technology & service providers, as well as researchers and academics.
