Imagine a doctor who knows your health problem isn't a virus, but loneliness or a lack of housing. Instead of just giving medicine, they connect you with a professional 'guide' who helps you find local community support. This project creates a system to make these connections work specifically for people who usually fall through the cracks, like refugees or seniors living alone.
Primary care services lack the tools and structures to address non-medical health issues like isolation and housing. This leads to poor health outcomes and inefficient use of medical resources for vulnerable populations.
A prototype of a digital linkworking tool and evidence-based social prescribing models tailored for vulnerable groups.
If you are a digital health platform provider dealing with fragmented patient data — this project developed a prototype of a digital linkworking tool that connects clinical care to community resources. This allows for better tracking of non-medical health determinants.
If you are a private clinic network dealing with high patient churn among vulnerable groups — this project developed evidence-based social prescribing models that improve access to care. This increases patient retention and health outcomes for 1,776 patients in the trial.
If you are a software company dealing with inefficient referral systems between doctors and NGOs — this project developed a digital linkworking tool for feedback by hubs. This streamlines how patients are referred to non-clinical supports.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided, though the objective is to create a cost-effective solution.
Yes, the project aims to enable health care systems to implement social prescribing as a scalable solution across diverse European contexts.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but a prototype of a digital linkworking tool is a key deliverable.
The project focuses on a digital linkworking tool to bridge the gap between general practitioners and community resources, though specific technical integration details are not listed.
The project runs from 2025-01-01 to 2029-12-31, with foundational co-creation work occurring in the first year.
The consortium is heavily research-driven with 13 universities and 3 research institutes, but it maintains a 12% industry ratio with 3 industrial partners, including 2 SMEs. This balance suggests a transition from academic validation to practical application, leveraging a broad geographic footprint across 11 countries to ensure the resulting tools are adaptable to different national health systems.
