The Alliance and Partnerships for Patient Innovation and Solutions (APPIS) Initiative is back with a new edition. This year, we aim to drive better outcomes for healthcare consumers across Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa by bringing together patient communities and other key stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem such as policy makers, payers, medical community, etc. to identify key challenges and prioritize actionable solutions.
Pertinent issues faced by patient communities will be addressed through ongoing dialogues via different channels including multi-stakeholder workshops, the Summit as well as the APPIS Academy. Another key highlight this year will be the APPIS Innovator Program which aims to recognize and support patient organizations that have found innovative ways to elevate and amplify patients' voice.
The key themes of APPIS 2022 are :
Health Literacy
How patient organizations can upskill their content development knowledge and capabilities to create clear and concise materials on disease awareness for healthcare consumers
Health Policy Shaping
How to elevate proficiency to interact impactfully with policy makers to drive change
Digital Health & Communications
How to achieve sustainable patient outcomes by creating and using patient-centric digital tools
