• Aims at funding the development of ICT-based solutions which enable

and support sustainable care systems for older adults, i.e.

o systems that are socially and economically viable for the future and which do not result in disproportionate or unfair impacts on any significant contributory element of the healthcare system.

• targets new concepts necessary to ensure patient centred care with focus on older adults considering the growing importance of informal caregivers to deliver future care services and maximising the opportunity for technologies to support care and new providers to enter the market.

o New solutions to also support prevention, early discharges, reduce readmissions and sustain health outcomes to regain independent lifestyles.

• It is anticipated that the call will be launched at the end of March 2014, with a proposal submission deadline end of June 2014.

o The launch of the call is subject (i.e. regarding EU co-funding) to a final adoption of the legal base for the AAL-2 Programme by the European Parliament and the Council (envisaged for early April 2014), followed by the conclusion of the necessary agreements between the AAL Association, the Partner States of the AAL

Association and the European Commission.
