Smart Living Homes: GATEKEEPER System With Patients With Cancer and Dementia in Cyprus

Summary

The main objective of the Project is to create a GATEKEEPER, that connects healthcare providers, businesses, entrepreneurs, elderly citizens and the communities they live in, in order to originate an open, trust-based arena for matching ideas, technologies, user needs and processes, aimed at ensuring healthier independent lives for the ageing populations. By 2022, GATEKEEPER will be embodied in an open source, European, standard-based, interoperable and secure framework available to all developers, for creating combined digital solutions for personalised early detection and interventions that (i) harness the next generation of healthcare and wellness innovations; (ii) cover the whole care continuum for elderly citizens, including primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, chronic diseases and co-morbidities; (iii) straightforwardly fit "by design" with European regulations, on data protection, consumer protection and patient protection (iv) are subjected to trustable certification processes; (iv) support value generation through the deployment of advanced business models based on the VBHC paradigm.

GATEKEEPER will demonstrate its value by scaling up, during a 42-month work plan, towards the deployment of solutions that will involve ca 40.000 elderly citizens, supply and demand side (authorities, institutions, companies, associations, academies) in 8 regional communities, from 7 EU member states. Recently 3 Asian pilots have been added as a result of the Open Calls.

The achievement of the overall objective is supported by the following, among others, specific objective: To execute a series of PILOTS to demonstrate the effect, benefit, value and scalability of the GATEKEEPER solutions around REFERENCE USE CASES COVERING PRIMARY, SECONDARY and TERTIARY PREVENTION, initially deployed in 8 regions of 7 European countries.

The Cyprus pilot mainly focuses on the early detection of the condition worsening of cancer and dementia patients by monitoring whether the use of technology can trigger appropriate management, thereby reducing the need for higher acuity care, and even, at times, improving survival by supporting demand-driven solutions through high-quality health mobile systems.

Interventions

DEVICE

GATEKEEPER

The GATEKEEPER is a digital platform that allows patients and caregivers to record their day-to-day symptoms and other parameters such as quality of life using means such as apps and wearable devices that record both self-report (quality of life, depression, anxiety) and physiological data (mobility, pain, sleep patterns, heart rate), and allows healthcare professionals to monitor these data and tailor healthcare so to prevent and intervene in symptoms that may be occurring.
