Future Well Ageing- a community-based program for prevention and interventions using welfare technology for a healthy everyday life

Research problem and specific questions The overall aim is to develop models that support older adults´ participation in everyday activities that engage and lead to well-being where welfare technology is used to reduce the need for primary- and homecare.The needs of older adults at risk/ with frailty and significant others participating in interventions using digital technologies and what is needed for successful implementation will be studied together with the older adults, significant others, informal carer and staff.Research questions Can a prevention program using technology supporting engaging activities in everyday life reduce risk or maintain/delay the level of frailty in older adults? (project A)How can a prevention program that use technology support “Good quality, local health care “for frail older adults become a self-evident and integrated way of working as an addition to physical care within primary healthcare? (project A)Can a specialized homecare service (Reablement) using technology support older adults’ participation and engagement in everyday life while living at home? (project B)What are the needs of informal carer who provide support to older adults living with frailty at home? (project A-D)What are the systemic factors for and how can co-creation methods contribute to successful implementation of an intervention using technology directed towards older adults to improve primary care and homecare services? (project A-E)                                                                                                                                                                Data and method The interdisciplinary program is based on tested interventions using digital technology with positive effects in the context of older adult’s home.

Five projects with qualitative and quantitative methods are planned. A digital platform will be used to compare data.

With analyses from projects A-D, a model describing effects of implementation that can change and implement new interventions and working approaches using will be developed (project E).Relevance and utilisation In Europe, more than 1/3 of older adults
