OneAquaHealth: Linking urban aquatic ecosystems and human health with HL7 FHIR
Session organized by HL7 Europe
Panel: Anne Moen, George Koutalieris, Eleni Kokinou, Elena Petelos, Christos Lionis, Catherine Chronaki.
The OneAquaHealth project aims to improve stainability and integrity of urban freshwater ecosystems by investigating the interconnection of ecosystem health and human wellbeing. The identification of early warning indicators aspires to enhance environmental monitoring with AI-assisted tools to support decision-makers. In this way, adequate and timely decisions towards effective measures will help restore the health of aquatic ecosystems and promote OneHealth.
This panel aims to support better insights in how to foster the use of environmental observation to meet OneHealth challenges with health interventions that activate citizens’ vigilance and create thriving communities. Exploring links between the health of nature, aquatic ecosystems and human health, panelists will explore different perspectives ranging from technology and early warning systems to managing health and personal well-being.
