Imagine trying to organize a complex medical plan for an elderly relative where the doctors and social workers don't talk to each other. This project creates a guidebook to help these different services work together based on what the patient actually needs. It uses a special way to measure if the money spent on these services actually improves lives.
Health and social services for the elderly are fragmented, leading to poor care quality and wasted resources. This is worsened by social and gender inequalities that prevent equal access to care.
A co-design toolkit and a set of policy recommendations for integrating long-term care.
If you are a software provider dealing with fragmented patient data between clinics and social work—this project developed a toolbox that helps design inclusive care paths. This ensures your digital tools meet the actual needs of older adults with complex care needs.
If you are a care operator dealing with high patient turnover or dissatisfaction—this project developed a co-design method that involves patients and caregivers. This leads to more sustainable care solutions that can be measured by social return on investment.
If you are a city official dealing with rising costs of aging populations—this project developed policy recommendations and a toolkit. This helps you organize health and social services to reduce inequalities in care access.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information for the final toolbox is provided.
The project is designed for cross-national application across 6 countries, suggesting a scalable model for EU-wide health and social service integration.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing details are not mentioned.
The project maps existing ecosystems and identifies corresponding regulatory frameworks across Europe to ensure the solutions are applicable in different legal environments.
The project period ends on 2027-02-28, which is when the final outcomes are expected.
The consortium is heavily academic, with 5 universities and 2 research institutes leading the 9 partners. However, it includes 2 SMEs and 1 industry partner, giving it an 11% industry ratio. This suggests the project is primarily driven by scientific evidence and policy research, with limited but present commercial validation.
