0-3% budget dedicated to solutions integrating digital technology Main Barriers:

- Difficulty to identify the solutions available on the market (and get reliable info about them)

- Solutions with limited scope and difficult to integrate into existing information systems

- Lack of interoperability

- Lack of openness (proprietary solutions)

Key messages

• Older people spend more on healthcare services, on recreation and culture, on furnishings and household items.

• 60% of all healthcare spending (public and private) will be from the Silver Economy in 2025.

• By 2020 the size of the global connected health market will be close to €58.7b.

• The global market for ICT solutions for healthcare monitoring in private homes is expected to grow from nearly €10.7b in 2016 to roughly €31.5 by 2021

• Baseline forecast is for total Silver Economy consumption to grow by approximately 5% per year up to 2025 to €5.7 trillion.

SC1-DTH-11-2019: Large Scale pilots of personalised & outcome based integrated care

Innovation Action

- Open: 16/10/2018

- Close: 24/04/2019

Budget: 20 M€ (4-6 M€ proposals)

• Scope:

• - Large-scale pilots for deployment of trusted & personalised digital solutions

• - Dealing with Integrated Care to support (AHA) of older individuals

• - Strategy: patient-centred and individualised

• - Useable in any Member State

• - Applicable to a very wide range of patient pathways

Conclusions

• IoT is an area of strategic importance for Europe
