Description
SHAPES stands for “Smart and Healthy Ageing through People Engaging in supportive Systems”.
The average life expectancy in countries in the European Union has increased. However, European citizens are still facing high risks of frailty, injury and long-term chronic illness.
Because communities and family structures become more dispersed, older individuals experience isolation and loneliness which further lead to psychological and physical negative effects.
The SHAPES project intends to develop a large-scale, EU-standardised open platform for integrated care.
Final outcome
- Build and deliver an EU open Platform which integrates smart digital solutions to collect and analyse older individuals’ health, environmental and lifestyle information; identify their needs and provide personalised solutions;
- Enlarge SHAPES Platform to allow stakeholders to exchange knowledge and expertise in order to identify current and future solutions and provide mutual advice, training and support;
- Achieve a successful market deployment which connects demand and supply, promotes the co-creation of digital solutions and seeks to improve H&C delivery in Europe.
