Ingo Meyer

Ingo Meyer is a senior research consultant at empirica. He holds a degree in Sociology, Political Science, and Theology from Bonn University. He has been working for empirica and in the field of ICT for health, care and independent living since 2002. For the past six years he has been focussing on issues of integrated care, preferably supported by the use of ICT tools. In this context, Ingo works on requirements-based service definition, the development of integrated health and care service processes and their implementation in real-life environments. One aspect that he has been specialising in is the development of viable business models for integrated care, based on socio-economic impact assessment and cost-benefit analysis. Among other things, he has been and is involved in projects such as CommonWell (www.commonwell.eu), INDEPENDENT (www.independent-project.eu), SmartCare (www.pilotsmartcare.eu) and the recently started BeyondSilos project.
