Digitization in healthcare is a very important topic and the pandemic has shown the lack of this capacity. This urgently needs to be improved and the online information between therapists and patients/guests needs to be designed more optimally. This also applies for the bookings in spa resorts and in all areas of aftercare.
Defining digital tools that help destinations and companies in this health tourism sector to make a self-assessment and diagnosis in terms of competitiveness and sustainability in order to optimize the positive impact of this sector on local development and employment creation and also as a base for medical information. Smart technology could motivate and stimulate both public and private investments and thus revitalize some thermal destinations. For European the goal is to age actively and live longer by detecting issues earlier.
Measurable result: 
- in the next two years starting a cooperation for harmonized data collection system
