Track A – Wellbeing & care of older adults with chronic conditions
Responsible
Geja Langerveld
The focus of track A is the wellbeing and care of older adults with chronic conditions – physical as well as mental – and their carers.
The first objective is to bring together Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) projects funded under call one ‘Prevention and Management of Chronic Conditions’ and other thematically related projects on the European and national levels.
In the sessions we will present several types of solutions and discuss relevant aspects regarding end user involvement and ethical issues. There will also be opportunities to exchange experiences on success factors and problems, to learn from each other and to network.
Another objective is to reflect on topics closely related to the development of solutions for older adults with chronic conditions, including:
- How can the needs and wishes of informal carers be successfully integrated?
- Which topics are missing in the AAL Joint Programme (JP)?
- How is wellbeing and care related to other domains of life?
- What is foreseen regarding wishes of future older adults with chronic conditions and what methods can be used to address these challenges?
