Strategic intelligence monitor on personal health systems (SIMPHS) : structure of available data and new measurement framework with selected indicators
No full textMeasurement system for the personal health system market, innovation, and health outcomes. This policy brief provides findings from empirical research on market and innovation dynamics regarding Personal Health Systems (PHS) in Europe. Even the already most consolidated of all PHS segments (i.e. RMT) is found to be radically different than the initial assumptions. The research has revealed that the market is in a state far from being mature and as a result there is little standardised data available. RMT contributes only a tiny fraction of the eHealth market revenues. Pilots are still dominating the form of implemented cases. The market is fragmented also in terms of players without distinct segments. This policy brief recognise a huge potential in a modified approach towards evaluation and measurement of eHealth

The Diversity of Platform Work— Variations in Employment and Working Conditions
No full textPlatform work emerged as an employment form and business model in Europe about a decade ago. While it is still small in scale, it is dynamically developing. This also refers to an increasing heterogeneity within platform work, which results in different effects on employment and working conditions of platform workers. This chapter suggests a classification of platform work using a combination of five criteria: scale of tasks, skills level required to fulfill them, format of service provision, selector of task assignment, and form of matching. Applying these criteria identifies 10 distinctive types of platform work which had some critical mass as of 2017. Based on this, the chapter discusses the employment and working conditions of platform workers affiliated to 5 of these 10 types. It stresses that there is no type of platform work which exclusively poses advantages or disadvantages to the workers. Indeed, their opportunities and risks vary quite substantially. That said, platform work which is related to small-scale, low-skilled tasks (algorithmically) assigned to the worker by the platform which—beyond matching—also determines work organization tends to raise more challenges for workers and the labor market
