Background:
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain a major public health burden, despite widely established preventive interventions. Digital Health solutions focusing on prevention are often fragmented and weakly linked to evidence-based guidelines.
Objectives:
This work aimed to develop a systematic approach for translating guideline-based health indicators into the PreNUDGE ecosystem, a digital prevention platform.
Methods:
Clinical guidelines for four NCDs were screened to identify prevention-relevant indicators suitable for self-reporting, which were structured using a standardized schema, aligned with HL7 FHIR principles and prepared for integration into qualified apps within the PreNUDGE platform.
Results:
A core set of disease-specific health indicators was derived and is ready to be translated into apps and ready to be implemented in the PreNUDGE ecosystem.
Conclusion:
The approach demonstrates the feasibility of operationalizing guideline-based health indicators within a digital prevention platform to support personalized prevention and public health analyses.
