Impact Innovation: Prevention 360

Prevention 360 is a prestudy by Vision Zero Cancer together with AI Sweden, Informationsdriven Vård, Prevention Barnfetma and Fokus Patient.

Challenges

The view of maintaining health in individuals and populations needs to evolve; from reactive and general to proactive, precise, and informed. A society that remains in good health by intervening in early tailored ways minimizes the need for resource-intensive health care, as well as freeing up resources of high-quality care for those who need it.

About the project

Prevention 360 is a prestudy by Vision Zero Cancer together with AI Sweden, Informationsdriven Vård, Prevention Barnfetma and Fokus Patient.

Through a data-driven approach, both individuals and societal actors, municipalities and regions, can act in an informed and proactive manner with targeted interventions to promote health and counteract the deterioration of health, while in parallel giving the individual new ways to take responsibility for their health. This is important for improved health throughout society, both for the individual as well as for societal actors like regions and municipalities and to increase resource efficiency.

With a broad and highly relevant network of experienced and capable partners, and a vibrant scope from clinical needs, research, technology development and implementation in society, we will work mission-oriented and with mobilizing all sectors throughout society.

The national innovation networks together with a patient organization aim to develop the next Strategic Innovation Program.

Facts

Prevention 360 is a prestudy from February to October 2023. Project partners: AI Sweden, Nollvision Cancer, Informationsdriven Vård, Prevention Barnfetma and Fokus Patient. The call was funded by Vinnova, Formas and Energimyndigheten.

HomeVision Zero Cancer is member in Lung Cancer Policy Network

Vision Zero Cancer is member in Lung Cancer Policy Network

The Lung Cancer Policy Network is a global alliance of almost 50 world-renowned experts in lung cancer and cancer screening, with the goal of making lung cancer a policy priority worldwide. The Network’s website has now launched, and we are pleased to say that Ebba Hallersjö Hult from Vision Zero Cancer is a member.

There is compelling evidence that implementing targeted screening programmes can transform lung cancer from a fatal to a treatable disease, and dramatically improve quality of life for people with lung cancer. The initial focus of the Network is to promote the adoption of screening to increase early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer.
Members of the Network include clinicians, researchers, patient organisations and advocates, and industry experts. All members share their knowledge and expertise, which feeds into an evidence base to encourage policymakers to make lung cancer a health policy priority worldwide. The Network will soon launch its inaugural report, outlining key lessons learnt from the implementation of lung cancer screening around the world, as well as an online map tracking the progress of lung cancer screening globally.

Europe’s Beating Cancer: implementation roadmap

The European Commission has published an implementation roadmap and progress indicators for Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan to monitor developments on the ten flagship initiatives as well as its other actions. Vision Zero Cancer was involved in the consultation processes around the development of the plan almost a year ago.

HomeSweden-Russia experience exchange on lung cancer – accelerating innovation to improve survival and quality of life for people with lung cancer

Sweden-Russia experience exchange on lung cancer – accelerating innovation to improve survival and quality of life for people with lung cancer

Around 60 experts gathered during the virtual experience exchange between Sweden and Russia as part of a collaboration between the Association of Oncologists of Russia and Vision Zero cancer, aided by Business Sweden and the Embassy of Sweden to the Russian Federation.

A warm and shared welcome to the meeting was given by H.E. Malena Mård, Ambassador of Sweden to the Russian Federation, Mattias Lindgren, Swedish Trade Commissioner to the Russian Federation, Market Area Director Eurasia, Business Sweden, Professor Andrey Kaprin, MD, General Director of the National Medical Research Radiological Center of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, President of the Association of Oncologists of Russia, and Ebba Hallersjö Hult, Head of Vision Zero Cancer. The scene for Cancer care in Russia and Sweden with particular focus on lung cancer was set by presentations from Professor Andrey Ryabov, MD, Deputy General Director of the National Medical Research Radiological Center of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and Associate Professor Mikael Johansson, MD, Senior Consultant Oncology, Umeå University Hospital and Senior lecturer at Umeå University.

The presentations and following discussions centred around three key areas containing an impressive 25 expert speakers giving their view on (1) Prevention, Improved awareness and Education, (2) Early Detection and Screening and(3) Diagnostics, Treatment and Care.

Attached to this short overview is the full agenda.

The meeting has further underbuilt the coming memorandum of cooperation (MoC) between the National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (NMRRC), the Association of Oncologists of Russia (AOR) and Vision Zero Cancer as well as paved way for experience exchanges on site in Sweden and Russia. All to continue the common fight against cancer.

Meeting agenda

The purpose of this meeting was to share knowledge and experience on how to improve early cancer diagnosis, outcomes and care for patients and to discuss potential new technologies for early lung cancer detection, including the implementation of targeted screening and precision diagnostics and treatment.

Five different areas that need renewal

Fewer people shall get ill and die from cancer. For that to work, we need to think in new ways. Both in terms of developing new solutions and getting better at using what is available.
