It’s amazing how medical advancements have increased our lifespan since the NHS began. Thirteen extra years! It really highlights the changing demands on healthcare. Thinking about those numbers, it’s almost like a puzzle, a real-life Wordle Unlimited scenario trying to solve how to best allocate resources, especially considering the higher costs…

With the rise of virtual education, many institutions are now using an online exam monitoring system to prevent cheating and ensure fairness during tests. I’m curious how well do these systems actually work in practice? Do students find them reliable and comfortable, or do they feel like it adds unnecessary stress? It would be great to hear o…

Dear EMS members, I came recently across an information about a digital solution which makes it simple for older adults to manage medical emergency events. The app is called Simple Launcher and older users can download it and thus receive a simplified user interface that is tailored to their needs. With this app they can enlarge the font and the…

Dear John, thank you for bringing up the topic. I personally think that the application of health apps will improve the quality of health care provision for older adults. Nevertheless, there are some barriers towards the acceptance of health apps that need to be considered. Some of these challenges for example are lack of trust, data privacy…

…And I think Joachim is mentioning an important point here: Where do we go from here? Technology will undoubtedly play a major role in the future of healthcare (in general and regarding elderly care). So it’s even more important to think about certain aspects: what could/ should technology do? What are the responsibilities, and who should…

Good morning John,

If you look for “Socialcare” app on the web, you get lot of choice, including app properly related to health. I think it is worth to try first apps developped or endorsed by recognized health organisations (such as the NHS, see here a few apps: https://www.nhs.uk/apps-library/category/social-care/) than trying randomly.

Have a good day.

Hey everyone,

I was searching for some applications that could improve the situation in the healthcare / EMS sector, especially in regards to the elderly. There are actually already some useful collections out there:

This discussion was founded to give an overview of e-health apps for seniors.

Maybe we will find some common ground or food for thought for future developments?

I am able to reply to myself: there exists another program in the field called “More Years, better lives”. This Joint Programming is a new approach to foster collaboration and coordination in R&D in Europe. It is a member-states driven activity and seeks to enhance coordination and collaboration between European and national research programmes…

Thank you for your prompt reply Sandra. I can only agree with what you said. An issue (probably the most important one) with the use of technologies by the elderly is their lack of interest to be trained with it. Many technological products developed during an AAL project did finally not manage to come on the market.

All in all, our organisation…

Dear Joachim,

Our health research institute doesn’t have much experience with AAL programmes, but I think we definitively should take the leap and participate. In Spain, ageing and chronic diseases is a matter of great concern since our life expentancy keeps growing but also the number of people with multiple chronic diseases that affect their…

Good afternoon, I am opening a discussion with a rather ‘administrative’ than medical issue. You probably have heard about the European AAL funding programme, aiming to create better quality of life for older people and to strengthen industrial opportunities in the field of healthy ageing technology and innovation. However, it seems that few…
