COCARE - A comprehensive concept for healthy aging supported by digital solutions across the geriatric Continuum-of-Care.
COCARE is a project funded by the European Commission within the Active and Assisted Living Program (AAL). An international team is developing a comprehensive training system that can be used across the continuum of care (rehabilitation hospital, outpatient therapy, at home). An ecosystem is being developed with technological and digital solutions that enable efficient, personalized and effective treatment in inpatient settings with continuity and transfer to the home environment. A main goal of this R&D project is to develop a mobile version ("little brother") of the Dividat Senso for use at home. This product - the Dividat SensoFlex - is a roll-up mat equipped with sensors. The training can be connected via cable to a screen in the patient's own home. A large-scale randomized clinical trial to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the training system in seniors has started in January 2023.
