In Hungary it will be an app for youngsters, where they can apply for various voluntary positions - like bringing food to elderly, or taking care at their homes -, while the demand of the target group will be co-ordinated by formal caregiver organizations, like elderly homes or Red Cross.

B) DigitalLife

The digitalLIFE4CE project is looking for novel solutions in the field of digital integrated healthcare systems

About the project: The digitalLIFE4CE project is looking for novel solutions in the field of digital integrated healthcare systems. The fragmentations of the health care system, as well as weak cooperation between relevant actors negatively, affect regional authorities, care providers, and citizens in many regions of central Europe. To answer these weaknesses, the project brings together policy makers, experts from research and development and actors relevant for implementation.
They will work on a new framework to provide policy stakeholders with: a global picture on available solutions and their implications; technology solution providers with options for joint cooperation; and beneficiaries with new applications and technologies. Additionally, the project will research and promote best practice cases in so called 'Healthcare Excellence Spots' and investigate ways to increase investment in digital health start-ups and to boost innovation in healthcare systems with a need for an integrated care coordination.
