Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Smart \& Healthy Ageing through People Engaging in Supportive Systems (SHAPES) Innovation Action is a Horizon 2020, EU-wide project looking at how technology can enable the older population to live healthier lives at home. It involves the development, piloting and deployment of a large scale, EU-standardised open platform. This platform will integrate with a wide-range of technological, organisational, clinical, educational and societal solutions seeking to facilitate long-term healthy and active aging.

Within this project are 7 pilot themes investigating various potential uses of the platform, in Northern Ireland we are leading on medicines control and optimisation.

This pilot is focused on identifying, managing and improving deficiencies in adherence to medicines and treatments of older individuals living with permanent or temporary reduced functions or capabilities due to chronic, age-related illnesses and living at home. Digital Solutions (including blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, weight scales and glucometers) will be used to enable self-monitoring of the individual's physiological parameters. Data will also be used to develop an algorithm to help predict decompensations in participants with heart failure and dynamic personal ranges will also be developed. In the future this may enable early opportunities to adjust medicines and treatments so as to deliver safer and more effective use of medicines in-home, however, in this pilot there will be no changes to treatment.

The target population is composed of older individuals (+65 years) living at home with heart failure and/or diabetes. We aim to recruit 30 people (for 3 months) to our pilot in Northern Ireland. We are working closely with colleagues in Spain, Czech Republic, Cyprus and Germany to run similar pilots within their healthcare systems.

intervention

The intervention being piloted in this study is a novel system of supporting older individuals with multiple long-term conditions to self-manage their chronic conditions through the daily use of a digital health product that can also facilitate the remote monitoring of a person's health status.
