As we fast approach the end of the first quarter of 2022, in this edition we share some summaries of our activities. As the project continues, we will provide further updates about our work, so look out for more information about how ADLIFE is progressing in future issues of our Newsletter!

New Blog

 

Visit the ADLIFE website to read the recent blog about 'Understanding and Addressing the Current Challenges of Advanced Care Planning'.

International Women’s Day

 

International Women’s Day was on 8th March 2022. It sought to celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness against bias and take action for equality. In ADLIFE we celebrated by meeting some of the fantastic women making a positive difference within the ADLIFE Consortium.

Conference Presentations

The 22nd International Conference on Integrated Care (ICIC22) is taking place in Odeon in Odense in Denmark from 23-25 May 2022 and provides an excellent opportunity for presenting the work of the ADLIFE project so far. Our ADLIFE Partners in Odense University Hospital, SRDC and Kronikgune have had abstracts accepted for oral presentations. These abstracts focus on 3 key components of ADLIFE: shared decision making; health data integration architecture for continuous health monitoring; and the ADLIFE health outcomes framework.

The ADLIFE Plenary Meeting
We’re excited to say that our June 2022 plenary meeting will be hosted by our Consortium colleagues in Sweden, where we will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face for the first time since 2020! We are all looking forward to sharing updates of the project to date and working together as we move towards the ADLIFE pilot project.
