COLLaboration on AGEing-COLLAGE: Ireland's three star reference site for the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA)

The Région Languedoc Roussillon is the umbrella organisation for an interconnected and integrated project on active and healthy ageing (AHA). It covers the 3 pillars of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA): (A) Prevention and health promotion, (B) Care and cure, (C) and (D) Active and independent living of elderly people. All sub-activities (poly-pharmacy, falls prevention initiative, prevention of frailty, chronic respiratory diseases, chronic diseases with multimorbidities, chronic infectious diseases, active and independent living and disability) have been included in MACVIA-LR which has a strong political commitment and involves all stakeholders (public, private, patients, policy makers) including CARSAT-LR and the Eurobiomed cluster. It is a Reference Site of the EIP on AHA. The framework of MACVIA-LR has the vision that the prevention and management of chronic diseases is essential for the promotion of AHA and for the reduction of handicap. The main objectives of MACVIA-LR are: (i) to develop innovative solutions for a network of Living labs in order to reduce avoidable hospitalisations and loss of autonomy while improving quality of life, (ii) to disseminate the innovation. The three years of MACVIA-LR activities are reported in this paper.

Eip On Aha

Given health and health economy assessments, a common assessment framework for active and healthy ageing (CAFAHA) is ideally desirable, even if not yet fully feasible, given the activities developed within European Innovation Partnership for Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) since 2012, now moving into its subsequent framework on healthy ageing. However, as there is diversity with respect to maturity in regions, in order to fully develop prevention practices and campaigns, assets as part of maturity need to be defined more clearly.

Pobudo »Alergijski rinitis in njegov vpliv na astmo« – (angl. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma, ARIA) – so leta 1999 ustanovili na delavnici Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije – World Health Organization (WHO). Njeni prvotni cilji so bili: 1. predlagati novo klasifikacijo alergijskega rinitisa, 2. spodbujati koncept večobolevnosti pri astmi in rinitisu ter 3. skupaj z vsemi deležniki razviti smernice, namenjene globalni uporabi v vseh državah in vsem skupinam bolnikov. Pobuda ARIA se uporablja v 70 državah, trenutno pa se osredinja na uporabo novih tehnologij za individualizirano in napovedno medicino. Mreža MASK – nadzorna mreža MACVIA (Proti kroničnim boleznim za aktivno staranje, franc. – Contre les Maladies Chroniques pour un Vieillissement Actif) in ARIA (angl. ARIA Sentinel NetworK) uporablja mobilno tehnologijo za razvoj klinične poti, ki bi bolnikom, multidisciplinarnim ekipam zdravnikov in raziskovalcem omogočila nadzor rinitisa in astme. Mobilna aplikacija (Android in iOS) je na voljo v 20 državah in 15 jezikih. Uporablja vizualno analogno lestvico za oceno nadzora nad simptomi in oceno delovne zmožnosti in ponuja sistem, ki pomaga pri kliničnem odločanju. Aplikacija omogoča povezovanje z zdravnikom ali drugimi zdravstvenimi delavci. Ta strategija upošteva priporočila Evropskega partnerstva za inovacije za aktivno in zdravo staranje (angl. European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing, EIP on AHA). Cilj novega pristopa pobude ARIA je zagotoviti aktivno in zdravo življenje bolnikov z rinitisom ne glede na njihovo starost, spol ali družbenogospodarski položaj zato, da bi se zmanjšali zdravstvena in družbena neenakost, ki sta posledici te bolezni.

Health And Well Being

Demographic ageing societies require a timely and well-planned response containing its negative social and economic effects. The European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) is a major European Commission led policy initiative to address the challenges of demographic change in Europe and turn it into an economic opportunity, capable of offering better prospects for the ageing population in terms of quality of life and overall health and well-being. The Greek EIP on AHA Network has been developed as a interdisciplinary scientific society, aiming at coordinating multiple remarkable but fragmented trials and group of people in Greece and aligning them with the activities of EIP on AHA.

Method Approach

ABSTRACTThe European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP-AHA) was launched by the European Commission in 2011 to promote innovation in ageing research. This paper explores the experiences of partners delivering frailty interventions within Europe, registering their programmes with the EIP-AHA. Data were collected using an online survey from 21 partners in seven countries. A mixed-method approach was used with inductive thematic analysis of free-text responses to improve data richness. Responses indicated that there was a lack of consistency between EIP-AHA partners in methods of defining, screening and measuring for frailty and pre-frailty. Open responses to survey questions about intervention facilitators, moderators and barriers were coded into two themes: working with stakeholders and project management. We concluded that EIP-AHA partners are providing interventions addressing physical, cognitive and wellbeing elements of frailty. However, there needs to be an increase in the proportion of interventions that consistently apply valid methods of screening and/or measuring frailty and pre-frailty. Most, but not all projects are targeting pre-frail older adults, suggesting an appropriate balance of prevention in a useful ‘intervention window’ but also a growing understanding that frailty at later stages is amenable to intervention. Findings suggest design manipulations to improve outcomes and adherence to interventions, specifically inclusion of a perceived benefit/reward for older adults, e.g. a social aspect or health-care promotion.
