A care model for patients with neurodegenerative
and
cardiovascular
conditions
THE CHALLENGE
As a result of ageing, the number of Europeans affected by Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and cardiovascular diseases is rising. Moreover, many patients face other chronic conditions, often termed ‘comorbidities’.
TeNDER project consortium is piloting an integrated care model in order to understand and meet user needs and provide support, giving all users more time to nourish their relationships, engage in activities that are mentally and physically beneficial, and markedly improve people’s quality of life.
STRATEGY AND SOLUTION
TeNDER project combines assistive technology easy to use and well-known, such as smartphones, health bands, motion sensors, and other similar devices, to monitor vital signs, capture movement and gait, and recognise emotional states and changes.
The patients’ personal contact with those who surround them will be not replaced, rather, TeNDER helps connect their environment in a way that extends their independence.
