Healthcare 5.0 supporting the transformative shift of regions

In June 2024, the Central Danube Development Agency Nonprofit Limited Liability Company (CDDA Nonprofit Ltd.) took part in the elaboration and submission of a successful project proposal with the acronym HUMAN in a consortium of 12 organisations under the Interreg Europe Programme. Implementation started on 1 May 2025.

The emerging idea of Industry 5.0 in the healthcare sector, also known as Healthcare 5.0 makes use of cutting-edge technologies to revolutionise healthcare delivery, improve patient outcomes and improve the healthcare experience as a whole. Healthcare 5.0, with the right strategies in place, aims for a world where healthcare is affordable, accessible and equitable. HUMAN brings together a well-balanced partnership in terms of expertise, geographical distribution and level of development. Along with its extensive network of relevant stakeholders, the HUMAN partnership cooperates to improve 8 policy instruments aiming a transformation towards a more efficient, targeted and universal healthcare. The project focuses on those fields of application where regional and local policies can play a role, namely: telehealth, human-centric care, accessibility, digital health literacy and digital inclusion. HUMAN’s overall objective is the provision of more affordable, accessible, equitable and resilient healthcare services.

I. international meeting – Ireland (15-16. September 2025.)

The first international project meeting of HUMAN – Healthcare 5.0 supporting the transformative shift of regions took place in Ireland on September 15-16, 2025.

The event was held in Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland. The program for the first day of the event took us through the beautiful landscape of western Donegal to Gaoth Dobhair, where we gained insight into how healthcare works in remote regions.

The focus was on pre-hospital care, telemedicine, and local innovations.
This was followed by an analysis of regional contexts led by the University of Porto, and an inspiring visit to Glenveagh National Park.
The day ended with a dinner, where partners had the opportunity to connect on a personal level.

The second day continued in Letterkenny with professional presentations and workshops.
Main topics:

  • Presentation of remote respiratory monitoring, which was the first to provide virtual care in Ireland.
  • Sharing of good practices among partners and establishing regional stakeholder groups.
  • Presentation of the RemoTED and Tech2Heal projects, which strengthen the role of digital health and technology in remote areas.
  • We discussed communication and project management overviews and preparations for the next meeting.

The day ended with a joint lunch, giving new impetus to the further work of the project.
Eszter Mimi Kocsis, international project manager at CDDA Nonprofit Ltd., participated in the two-day event.
