Welcome to ADLIFE
We are thrilled to set ourselves on this Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action project, under the call H2020-SC1-DTH-2019 – large scale pilots of personalized & outcome based integrated care, (total budget of 6,379,671 euros) for the next four years.
ADLIFE responds to the societal and health system challenge in Europe of an increasing number of people with Advanced Chronic Diseases, who are facing permanently or temporarily reduced functionality and capabilities. We aim to improve their quality of life by providing innovative integrated intelligent personalized care. Due to its multidisciplinary nature, ADLIFE addresses a broad audience: patients, healthcare professionals, healthcare provider organisations, health IT departments, and other actors in the health sector.
Our consortium is composed of 11 organisations from nine different countries, with Kronikgune Institute (Basque Country - Spain) the projector coordinator. We count on healthcare service providers and managers, experts in digital development of healthcare solutions and experts in intervention deployment and evaluation. The well- balanced ADLIFE consortium is our strength to achieve the main goal of the project.
We invite you to get acquainted with the ADLIFE project and get the latest updates on the project progress through our newsletter!
