Cáritas Coimbra attended a European workshop on Impact Assurance for the pilots in the Pharaon Project
On March 26th 2021, Cáritas Coimbra attended a European workshop on Impact Assurance for the pilots in the Pharaon Project with the Valencia pilot site of the ACTIVAGE project, (the first LSP in the field of active and healthy ageing https://www.activageproject.eu/) that succeeded to bring the experimental service into the market.
The objective of the workshop was to present ACTIVAGE project experience, highlighting the key enabling factors that allowed the service adoption.
This workshop will potentiate the refinement of the Portuguese Large Scale Pilot (LSP) Impact strategy and related roadmap for trying to succeed in bringing your experimental services into the market. In this workshop was involved the three Impact Assurance Managers: namely Business Manager, Social Manager and Clinical manager, as well as the Exploitation and Innovation Manager of the Portuguese LSP.
The Portuguese pilot is coordinated by Cáritas Coimbra and Santa Casa da Misericórdia da Amadora. These pilot sites will test user-centred technologies and address challenges related to integrated care, planning, integrated processes and infrastructures, knowledge sharing and acknowledgement of urban green and blue natural areas as fundamental aspects to every citizen’s physical and mental well-being.
Pharaon – Pilots for Healthy and Active Ageing aims to develop integrated platforms that will allow personalized and optimized health and social care, maintaining the dignity of older people and increasing their independence, security, capacities and stimulating their interest in the urban natural areas near them. Furthermore, it intends to foster their active participation in preserving the environment. To this end, it proposes to integrate services, devices and digital tools on open platforms that can be promptly implemented.
The Pharaon consortium consists of 42 European entities and the project received a total investment of 21.5 million Euros funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No. 857188.
