Report of pilots implementation
ADLIFE’s pilots have now been implemented and the related Deliverable 8.2 has been submitted to the EU review panel for approval. A major objective of the deliverable was to present the lessons learnt from implementing the ADLIFE Toolkit in different countries and contexts, particularly those that have implications for scaling-up and transferability.
The purpose of the pilots in ADLIFE was to demonstrate that the Information and Communications Technology (ICT)-supported ADLIFE intelligent and outcome-based personalised care model of integrated care is flexible and can be deployed and replicated at a large scale in different environments, and be trusted regarding data access, protection, and sharing.
No-cost extension approved
A 5-month no-cost extension of the ADLIFE project was approved by the European Union. As a result, the project will now finish at the end of November 2024 culminating with the “Equitable, integrative, and value-driven digital health transformation” conference in collaboration with i~HD on 27-28 November 2024.
Qualitative interview protocol
A qualitative interview protocol has been designed to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of the ADLIFE toolbox, as part of the final qualitative evaluation.
WP9 Leads (Biosistemak) and WP10 Leads (Optimedis) worked together to define the outcomes to be evaluated, as well as the questions to be asked.
Semi-structured interviews will be carried out to:
get patients, caregivers, professionals, and managers’ experiences and perceptions with the intervention implemented,
evaluate the main outcomes from the point of view of the stakeholders,
explore health professionals’ satisfaction and working conditions, and to
complement the information obtained by the quantitative data.
