Project description
A multi-stakeholder co-creation platform for better access to long-term care services
By the middle of this century, one quarter of the EU population is going to be aged 65 and over, facing difficulties accessing long-term care (LTC) services. The EU-funded SoCaTel project will create, implement and pilot a multi-stakeholder platform for fostering ageing in place. The aim is to facilitate end-users' free choice of governmental and non-governmental LTC services according to their needs. Moreover, the platform will empower citizens to champion their causes. Users', public services' and innovators' collaboration on novel services will lead to synergies and address emerging needs by means of a facilitator, while encouraging bottom-up innovation. The platform can interchange governmental and private data sources and could benefit public authorities across Europe, as well as SMEs and third parties.
Objective
SoCaTel will cater to the needs of the growing ageing populations in Europe by overall improving the accessibility, responsiveness, efficiency and transparency of social and care services, focusing on long-term care. SoCaTel will create, implement and pilot a multi-module/multi-stakeholder platform, which fosters ageing-in- place in a friendly environment and community. This platform, based on past project results such as OASIS and its open government platform Ozwillo, will facilitate end-users’ free choice of government and non-government long-term care services according to their needs, and will empower citizens’ voices and their representatives to champion their causes. Users, public services and innovators will collaborate throughout the process, from design through to development and testing, and onto implementation – facilitating the co-creation of novel services to address emerging needs and opportunities, while encouraging bottom-up innovation. SoCaTel will use governmental and private data sources, via links to platforms such as UniversAAL and PERLIS elderly supervision system, thus also creating additional business opportunities.
The SoCaTel approach and platform will be piloted in 4 countries, involving service users, government authorities, universities and the private sector: Spain, Finland, Hungary and Ireland, thus covering different welfare state models and addressing different challenges and cultural settings.
SoCaTel puts forward solid frameworks for co-creation, impact assessment, ethics and change management, promoting a smooth introduction of co-creation approaches into public administration. The outputs of the project will be a range of services co-created during the pilots and ready to be deployed. The SoCaTel technological platform will be released as open source, facilitating its uptake by public authorities across Europe, as well as creating business opportunities to the SoCaTel SMEs and to third parties.
