What made it into the indices?
In building the index we adhered to several principles to ensure that our conclusions are accurate, fact-based, and reflect the best possible information about the healthcare system.
Our partner
The role of the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies is to build and update the analytical and conceptual framework for the Personalised Health Index, with a focus on the selection, validation, and operationalisation of measures as well as the generation of data. The selected measures aim to capture the current status of and the future needs for personalised health on a national level. The Institute works in close cooperation with FutureProofing Healthcare’s expert panellists to ensure the selection of the best possible measures and to guide generation of additional data through external surveys where data gaps are identified.
