Funding, News and Announcements

The goal of this funding opportunity is to build a collaboration of stakeholders in Europe and Canada in the domain of smart living environments for ageing people that will focus on the development, integration and evaluation of eHealth innovations addressing transition in care challenges in order to improve health outcomes. In addition, the collaboration should also consider ways to optimize the quality of outcomes and the cost-effectiveness of smart living environments that support care transitions (i.e. pragmatic evaluation and use in care delivery programs or systems), through rigorous research designs.
