Ecare4PD
Exchanging good practices in e-health care for adults with Parkinson’s
and their family caregivers in Europe
The project E-Care4PD is born to provide solutions and bet on technology, digital content and good practices as facilitating tools to contribute to the well-being and improvement of the quality of life of many people.
The central axes of the project will be:
Awareness of Parkinson´s Disease for the general population.
Advocacy for adults living with Parkinson's
Training in treatments promoting the use of technology to provide therapy through telemedicine, encouraging independent living for patients at home.
Supporting carers through education and counselling.
At the end of the project, we will present this work in a "Good practice guide".
Participants at the project meeting in Aegina, Greece, said:
"I learned more about the whole field of everyday care which patients need.
"We exchanged opinions and activities about Parkinson"
"We learned from the presentation about e-devices"
We learned more about different interventions with patients in different countries and how to improve some of our activities"
