Project

A Unique Public Health Innovation Project

The Girostudi project by the Dipsalut Observatory is a pioneering initiative to understand the social, environmental, and health factors that determine the well-being of the Girona population. It is based on a digital and longitudinal cohort of 4,000 people aged between 16 and 79, with a planned 10-year follow-up.

To meet this challenge, Dipsalut entrusted Genomcore's technology to develop a digital platform, which serves as the heart of the project. This solution not only facilitates the collection of user information via questionnaires through a mobile App, enhancing participation and data quality, but also incorporates a powerful CRM to optimally manage all interaction with participants, from initial communication to continuous follow-up, thanks to Genomcore BIMS.

The system ensures high efficiency and drastically reduces the need for in-person or telephone interviews, thus guaranteeing the study's long-term viability and improving the user experience.

The Girona Provincial Council is convinced that Girostudi will be an indispensable tool, helping local councils to shape public health policies for the coming years in an equitable and effective manner.
