Athens pilot
About the pilot
Target group:
The Athens pilot is dealing with older adults over the age of 65 (and informal caregivers), with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension, living independently in the community.
Stakeholders involved:
An online support and coordination of care multidisciplinary team consisting of medical, paramedical and psychosocial professionals from 2 organizations, AMC (medical, nurse) and AFIC (psychosocial support) as well as informal caregivers (family members, peers of patients). In the Athens pilot site the ICHOM set of Outcomes for Diabetes (Type I and II) and Clinical and Lifestyle Variables and Outcomes (Questionnaires) relevant to Type II Diabetes Mellitus will be collected from patients, their formal and informal caregivers.
This pilot will use both the VALUECARE app and the back-end digital solution. In addition, the target group and the informal carer (family member, peer) can receive online psychosocial support via a help-desk service operating via the online digital solution (teleconference sessions).
AI/ML algorithms will be developed to (1) detect patterns of behaviours that keep patients healthy and active at home for longer periods of time as well as (2) patterns of behaviours that can predict deterioration of frailty status and underlying disease and give prognostic information.
