COCIR is the European trade association representing the medical imaging, radiotherapy, health ICT and electromedical industries. COCIR is unique as it brings together the healthcare, IT and telecommunications industries.

From mobile health apps and wearables to telehealth and telemedicine, digital health solutions could sustainably support healthcare systems to become more citizen-centered and outcome-focused. Emerging technologies are breaking new paths to personalised care, but are Member States prepared to take them up? The new COCIR compendium entitled ‘Living Repository: Market Access Pathways for Digital Health Solutions’ assesses how Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom integrate health innovation. Let’s exchange on national efforts to incorporate digital health solutions!
