Let’s start with Health – definition and objectives
SC1 Health, demographic change and well-being Specific objective: to improve the lifelong health and well-being of all. “Lifelong health and well-being for all - children, adults and older people - high-quality, economically sustainable and innovative health and care systems, as part of welfare systems, and opportunities for new jobs and growth are the aims of the support provided to research and innovation in response to this challenge, and they will make a major contribution to the Eu. rope 2020 strategy” (Horizon 2020 Regulation)
Definition of Health (WHO) Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Let’s start with Health – WP 2016-2017
The overall strategic orientation of the 'Health, Demographic Change and Well-being' Work Programme 2016-2017 is 'promoting healthy ageing and personalised healthcare'.
Several research priorities: personalised medicine, rare diseases, human biomonitoring, mental health, comparative effectiveness research, advanced technologies, e/mhealth, robotics, patient empowerment, active and healthy ageing, data security, big data, valorisation, anti-microbial resistance, infectious diseases including vaccines, maternal and child health and the silver economy
In order to personalize medicine and to carry out researches that are patient-centered you need to consider not only medical but also
psychological, social and sociological aspects to offer the best and most customized service

Why do I need to integrate SSH in my proposals?
SSH experts are called by EC to contribute to framing the questions and issues to be tackled in Horizon 2020
Topics are 'flagged' for SSH by EC , i.e. they point to SSH
research as integral part of the expertise needed to properly address the issue outlined in the topic
Proposals submitted for topics 'flagged' for SSH should
contain meaningful, integrated contributions from SSH researchers
Evaluation panels include SSH expertise: evaluators briefed on
how to identify and evaluate SSH aspects

1. Topic analysis => SSH-flagged topics
1. Topics with an SSH component or RELEVANT for SSH
2. Topics DEDICATED to SSH
o Multidisciplinary topics where finding a solution requires knowledge and input from both SSH and STEM
o Consortia submitting proposals will need to include both STEM and SSH partners
o Finding a solution relies on knowledge and input from SSH researchers and practitioners
o Consortia submitting proposals will mainly consist of partners from various SSH disciplines
When you analyse the topic, you need to be aware that it can be a SSH-flagged topic => DEDICATED or RELEVANT
1. TOPIC ANALYSIS
Fare clic per modificare lo stile del titolo
Fare clic per modificare lo stile del sottotitolo dello schema
To assign the SSH flag, 'yes' to two key questions:
Are SSH terminology and research questions (examples provided in WP guidance document) included in the scope section of the topic?
Will the consortium require SSH partners to adequately and comprehensively address the issue at stake?

SC1-PM-04–2016: Networking and optimising the use of population and patient cohorts at EU level Specific challenge Population cohorts are invaluable resources to obtain detailed description of individual biological variations in connection with a variety of environmental, pathogenic, occupational, societal, and lifestyle determinants that influence the onset and evolution of diseases. Europe currently has some of the most valuable population and patient cohorts, including well annotated clinical trial cohorts. However, the lack of integration of these cohorts hampers the optimal exploitation of these resources, essential to underpin and facilitate the development of stratified and personalised medicine. Scope Proposals should aim at maximizing the exploitation of cohorts by bringing together national and/or European cohorts with common scientific interests (e.g. across diseases, children, mothers, elderly, birth, gender, etc.), and by taking advantage of new technologies (e.g. ICT, social platforms, etc.) and new type of data (e.g. geographical, genetic, eHealth records, etc.). Based on those cohorts using a comprehensive integration strategy to facilitate hypothesis-driven research, data sharing, harmonisation and analysis, proposals should provide expanded resources and knowledge on health and disease determinants, onset and course of diseases (including aspects of co-morbidity and/or co-infections), clinical, public health and socio-economic research. Synergies with relevant existing European infrastructures and additional collaborations with relevant international initiatives are encouraged. Proposals should also engage with relevant international/national/regional authorities to ensure that findings are implemented and translated into health policy. The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 8 and 10 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Expected impact Expected impacts include one of or a combination of the following point(s): • Make major conceptual, methodological and analytical contributions towards integrative cohorts and their efficient exploitation. • Contribute to providing novel information on health maintenance, onset and course of diseases, or population stratification, with a view to tailor diagnosis or to optimise prevention and treatment. • Provide the evidence base for the development of policy strategies for prevention, early diagnosis, therapies, health economics as well as addressing health inequalities. Wherever relevant, evidence for economic evaluation of interventions should also be included. • Optimise the use of population cohorts in defining/improving clinical practice and public health policy.

An Example: LIFEPATH
LIFEPATH Life course pathways underlying social differences in healthy ageing
Type of action: RIA WP Part: SC1 Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing Call: Personalised Healthcare Topic: PHC-01-2014 Understanding health, ageing and disease: determinants, risk factors and pathways
There are significant differences in the biological pathways to aging among individuals. In particular, healthy ageing, quality of life and life expectancy differ significantly between individuals of different socioeconomic groups. To understand what determines this variation, LIFEPATH integrates biology, biostatistics, epidemiology and epigenomics approaches with social science approaches (sociology, economics and public health policies). LIFEPATH aims to show that healthy ageing is an achievable goal for society, as it is already experienced by individuals of high socio-economic status. It will also investigate the consequences of the current economic recession and accompanying increase in social inequalities on health and the biology of ageing. Based on these insights, it will provide evidence for healthy ageing policies that can address social disparities in ageing

ATHLOS Ageing Trajectories of Health: Longitudinal Opportunities and Synergies
Type of action: RIA WP Part: SC1 Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing Call: Personalised Healthcare Topic: PHC-01-2014 Understanding health, ageing and disease: determinants, risk factors and pathways
Experts from the areas of demography, sociology, clinical medicine, epidemiology and public health, health statistics, economics, data management, and policy are involved in this research. ATHLOS is a research and innovation action aimed at identifying the trajectories and determinants of healthy and active ageing, from early stages of development onwards. ATHLOS will ascertain risk and protective factors, their interactions, the stages in the lifespan in which they most greatly impact health, and how the modification of these factors—through promotion, prevention and treatment interventions—can change individual and population health. This deeper understanding of ageing will also result in a more realistic definition of ‘old age’ than the standard chronological approach.
