Empowering Systems for Healthy Ageing in Europe
Large European populations are facing increased risks of cognitive impairment, frailty, and chronic health conditions. This project aims to promote healthy ageing, independence, and quality of life through innovative approaches and inclusive systems that address the diverse needs of citizens in ageing populations. By fostering resilience, integrating health and social care systems, and embracing technologies, the goal is to enhance the well-being and sustainability of individuals and communities.

Citizens in a Citizens in a rapidly ageing rapidly ageing European population are at European population are at greater risk of cognitive impairment, frailty and multiple chronic health conditions multiple chronic health conditions with considerable negative consequences for with considerable negative consequences for their independence, quality of life quality of life and for the and for the sustainability of health and care systems sustainability of health and care systems. . Countries will be selected as comparative case studies related to dependency ratio, population pyramid and special circumstances cross boarder, contested identities, migrant populations (including some Reference Sites). Early detection of at-risk or prodromal symptoms of impairment related to ageing; using established and new tools (e.g. WGQs, RATA++) and perhaps wearable technology in naturalistic environments physical, neurological, psychological, community and QoL perspectives. An approach that incorporates provision for impairment associated with ageing and impairment from other causes one inclusive system for all, leaving no one behind . Addressing the SDGs re gender, disability, ethnicity intersectionality of ageing. A life-course approach with care-pathway planning into the future, anticipating needs, resources and opportunities, decades ahead. Increasing duration of productive (new meaning) work, leisure, cultural life, new enterprises; positive ageing and living a good life with impairment. Embracing fitness, nutrition, cognition etc for healthy ageing in general. Using technologies to supplement (decreasing) intrinsic capacity and increase functional capacity. Promote resilience through sense of coherence, role and purpose. Spill-over effects - how the system add value to other members of the community. Integrate health and social care systems, keep people connected to them but anchored in communities (Kobe) triaging skills across professionals, volunteering, peer support, community networks. Embrace different settings independent living, sheltered communities, residential. Address duty of care re State vs duty of service users, in user-empowered models of service provision, as well as other models - for-profit, charity, PPPs. Promote sustainability by addressing structural barriers (Pillar of Social Rights, UNCRPD, heath as a consumer right) and providing inclusive and equitable pathways to policy development and revision is required. Adopt market-shaping to ensure provision of services to all groups (especially marginalised groups) and maintain incentives for product and market innovation for the full range of stakeholders. greater risk of cognitive impairment, frailty and their independence,
The challenge is to foster The challenge is to foster large improved quality of life improved quality of life to citizens while demonstrating significant to citizens while demonstrating significant efficiency gains in health and care delivery across Europe delivery across Europe. . large- -scale deployment of integrated digital solutions scale deployment of integrated digital solutions which will bring which will bring efficiency gains in health and care Demonstration projects must be scalable, and therefore a methodology for scaling good practices is required. This requires understanding how context patterns possibility. It does not require uniformity but the capability to adapt to diversity and difference. These good practices must be systemically integrative of all technologies that can promote smart and healthy living - and must manage and then use the information intelligently. The system here must be the system-as-experienced form the user s perspective across sectors (health, welfare, employment, education). Intelligence here means learning and adapting both for the individual s technology (assistive, sensors, ICT) and for the system that mediates it. Specific foci may include and should highlight aspects of commercial assistive living robots, wearable sensors, AI and biophotonics. Intelligence also embraces morality and ethical use and development of technologies. A code of practice or ethics protocol, protecting individual rights, and identifying service provider obligations and identifying State responsibilities is needed. Efficiency gains may require users to develop a level of health or technology literacy to avoid technology abandonment. The economic cost-saving from demonstration projects is required.
