From bespoke to ‘off-the-shelf’ technologies: supporting the delivery of integrated care services

Objective: This plenary session will showcase innovative solutions that are designed to address the key challenges associated with delivering integrated care services to promote the health and wellbeing of our ageing population. It will draw on the B3 Action Group members‘ commitments to EIP on AHA to illustrate the wide range of ICT that is being deployed in regions across Europe.

Main messages

• Citizens are increasingly choosing to use technologies and applications in their personal lives that can deliver personalised care and support.
• There is growing evidence of ICT solutions supporting individuals holistically rather than addressing their single diseases or needs.

Background Information: The B3 Action Group on Integrated Care was established in 2012 to develop a response to the challenges set by the Strategic Implementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership for Healthy and Active Ageing (EIP on AHA).
