Medical Delta Your organisation and core Medical Delta is located in the South Holland province and is one of the most densely populated and industrialised areas in the world. activities Medical Delta comprises all stakeholders needed for healthcare and societal innovation: 3 universities, 2 university hospitals, 5 tertiary medical teaching hospitals, 4 universities for professional education, primary and community care networks, nursing homes, industry (more than 300 relevant SME’s and MNE’s), healthcare insurers, patient organisations, government, registration authorities and investors. Core activities include healthcare provision, education, research and development as well as commercialisation. Specific site activities comprise community based co-creation, implementation, evaluation (incl. feasibility, acceptability, effectiveness, cost effectiveness and business modelling) and monitoring. Initiative name Medical Delta Executive Summary We are an extensive regional multidisciplinary geriatric network and committed to objectives of the AHA initiative. Medical delta is dedicated to develop innovative tools for screening of risk factors, assessment tools, evidence based standards and best practice guidelines for falls prevention. The fall prevention program of Medical Delta is based on an integrated approach which include prevention, detection (identification of risk factors), diagnosis, multi-factorial intervention and monitoring. Currently, there are various projects which aim deploy, pilot and evaluate a range of innovative ICT solutions for fall detection and prevention management. The platform will be flexibly configured to the needs of specific target groups and risk factors associated with fall incidents. Based on the iVitality integrated platform: (a)End-users will enjoy tailored fall technological solutions, while (b) Medical experts and health professionals will be offered a wide range of tools, enabling them to customize fall solutions to the end-users’ needs. The effectiveness of the solutions will be tested by over 500 elderly users/ patients across different countries, cultures, age groups and fall risk factors. From a policy perspective, the project will elicit best practices for tailoring fall management solutions to specific risk factors, root causes and users’ (fallers’) needs where older citizen are the co-designers of their own health. Scope of implementation Regional level Key activities Direct contribution: activities are performed in community based living labs in the cities of Delft (14.000*), Leiden (10.000*), Rotterdam (13.000*) and The Hague (50.000*) all located within a radius of 14 km. Target population is elderly with and without
