Project description
Preventing frailty in older adults goes high-tech
Older people are at higher risk of becoming frail, having falls, incurring disability and requiring long-term care. Frailty is a result of age-related decline, but it is preventable and treatable. As Europe’s population ages (a quarter of Europeans will be over age 60 by 2020), there is a growing need for effective interventions to postpone disability and sustain independence. The EU-funded eCARE project is developing a digital solution – tools and services – to improve outcomes for frailty in older adults by accounting for physical and psychosocial factors. It will target the pre-frail and frail older adults to facilitate the implementation of integrated care models across health and social services.
