INTEGRATED PERSONALIZED CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED CHRONIC DISEASES TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Project description

A digital system to longevity and quality of life

Medical breakthroughs significantly increased life expectancy. According to the World Health Organisation, global average life expectancy increased by 5.5 years between 2000 and 2016, the fastest increase since the 1960s. This major success in public health also highlights the need for guaranteeing a good quality of life to the longer-living elderly with chronic diseases. The EU-funded ADLIFE project will develop an innovative solution. Their toolbox will contain a personalised care management platform, clinical decision support services and a patient empowerment platform. The integration of therapies and approaches in supportive care aims to reduce suffering and speed-up patients’ recovery. This system will be tested on hundreds of patients in 75 hospitals across Europe.

Objective

Due to population ageing and advances in medical science, people with chronic diseases –including advanced severe life-threatening chronic diseases- live longer. Challenges are how to sustain quality independent living for the patient; support caregivers facing an increasing burden; create sustainable healthcare and social care systems with limited resources. ADLIFE aims to provide a solution for the integration of therapies and approaches targeting early detection and assessment of deterioration, advanced and well-coordinated care planning and integrated supportive care to enhance quality of life, reduce suffering and accelerate recovery for these patients and their families. It will deploy developed and validated personalised digital solutions for integrated supportive care based on H2020 projects C3-Cloud and Power2DM, previously tested in two health systems.

The ADLIFE Toolbox solutions include: a Personalised Care Plan Management Platform, Clinical Decision Support Services; Interoperability Solutions and Patient Empowerment Platform with Just-In Time Adaptive Intervention Delivery Engine.

The ADLIFE system will be deployed through large-scale pilots in 7 countries and Health Systems, involve 577 healthcare professionals from 75 hospitals, clinics and primary care services. It will prove that intelligent, collaborative digital solutions can enable care teams, patients and caregivers to improve or better maintain health in patients with advanced chronic disease (over 200,000 in the participating regions). It will test its effectiveness in 882 patients and 1243 caregivers. ADLIFE will demonstrate significant outcomes-based efficiency gains in health and care delivery enhancing seamless care coordination, avoiding gaps and overlaps in care.

The ADLIFE ICT Toolbox and the evidence behind this digitally-enabled approach from the 7 reference sites will be strongly disseminated to multiple stakeholders and decision makers in Europe both online and in-person actions
