Imagine someone with a serious illness who feels they've lost their independence. Instead of just managing pain, this program uses targeted physical exercises and support to help them stay active and social. It's like a specialized tune-up for the body and mind to make the most of their remaining time.
Over a million Europeans suffer from disability due to incurable cancer, creating a heavy burden on healthcare systems and families. Current care often lacks integrated rehabilitation to maintain patient independence.
A short-term palliative rehabilitation intervention and a set of practice and policy indicators developed via Delphi consensus.
If you are a clinic dealing with high patient disability rates in incurable cancer — this project developed a short-term rehabilitation intervention that improves function and quality of life. It can be integrated using existing staff with little or no additional cost.
If you are an insurer dealing with the high cost of long-term care for cancer patients — this project developed a cost-effective intervention that reduces the burden of care for families. This could lower the overall cost of supportive care services.
If you are a software developer dealing with a lack of standardized care paths for palliative care — this project developed a set of indicators and core interventions. These can be used to build digital tracking tools for palliative rehabilitation.
The project states the intervention can be integrated into health systems using existing staff and services with minimal or no additional cost.
Yes, the project is testing a scalable intervention through a multinational trial across five European countries (UK, France, Italy, Denmark, and Norway).
Based on available project data, there is no mention of patents or specific licensing terms, as the focus is on clinical and cost-effectiveness trials.
It is designed to be integrated into various health systems using existing staff and services to ensure it becomes part of routine care.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2026-08-31.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward public and academic institutions, with 5 universities and 2 research centers. While industry representation is low at 7% (1 SME), the strength lies in its geographic reach across 7 countries and the inclusion of 6 'other' organizations, likely the civil society partners mentioned for citizen engagement.
