Launch of SHAPES project

On November 11th-13th, the kickoff meeting of the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action SHAPES – 'Smart and Healthy Ageing through People Engaging in supportive Systems' was held in Maynooth, Ireland.

The European population is aging and risk impairment and deteriorating health. SHAPES aims to improve the health, wellbeing, independence, and autonomy of these individuals while enhancing the long-term sustainability of health and care systems in Europe. This will be accomplished by deploying the SHAPES platform that consists of a wide range of digital solutions for supporting and extending healthy and independent living for older individuals. Omnitor will contribute with novel remote communication solutions and will lead two pilot test sites in Sweden.

The project is coordinated by Assisting Living and Learning Institute at Maynooth University. The consortium consists of 36 partners from 14 countries. The project will run for four years and have a budget of €21 million.
