• Aims at funding the development of ICT-based solutions which enable
and support sustainable care systems for older adults, i.e.
o systems that are socially and economically viable for the future and
which do not result in disproportionate or unfair impacts on any
significant contributory element of the healthcare system.
• targets new concepts necessary to ensure patient centred care with
focus on older adults considering the growing importance of informal
caregivers to deliver future care services and maximising the opportunity
for technologies to support care and new providers to enter the market.
o New solutions to also support prevention, early discharges, reduce
readmissions and sustain health outcomes to regain independent
lifestyles.
• It is anticipated that the call will be launched at the end of March 2014,

2014), followed by the conclusion of the necessary agreements
