The President von der Leyen has appointed Hungarian Olivér Várhelyi as the new European Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare. In the mission letter for the new Commissioner, there is a strong emphasis on disease prevention.
In the mission letter, the President writes: "I want you to intensify our work on preventive health, ensuring a comprehensive approach to health promotion and disease prevention throughout life. Investing in effective prevention measures will reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases, helping to ease the strain on healthcare systems and support healthy longevity.”.
This objective aligns perfectly with the mission of the DARE Project, which aims to develop innovative technological and digital solutions to prevent diseases and improve quality of life. Through the use of advanced technologies, DARE seeks to reduce the strain on healthcare systems while providing personalized, tailored health solutions for citizens.
This strong policy direction represents a decisive step for the evolution of healthcare systems in Europe, promoting a preventive approach that involves not only healthcare but also technological innovation, a central theme of the DARE project. The European Commission's support for these initiatives reinforces the vision of a future where disease prevention is at the heart of healthcare policies, reducing chronic illnesses and improving the quality of life for people across Europe.
