The European Interreg IVC project CASA is about the development of
regional policy - and the exchange of knowledge and experiences in upscaling of innovative ICT and services for independent living
and integrated care. Demographic changes make it necessary to
organise the care and housing of senior citizens and the chronically
ill in a smarter way including the use of ICT. These challenges also
give opportunities for innovative companies to develop new tools
and services.
14 organisations from 13 European regions participate in the CASA
project and interact on the topic of policy development on how to
boost the implementation of smart solutions in integrated care and
independent living. The activities in 2012-2014 comprise among
others study visits, exchange of good practices, bilateral
secondments and a final conference in Brussels.
Regions for Smart Living
The study visits organised in the participating regions cover the themes of: monitoring, safety
and self management, social interaction, chronic diseases, healthy lifestyle and rehabilitation,
informal care, telemedicine evaluation model, mobility and liveability integrated regional
policy, business and knowledge development, user driven innovation through public private
partnership and large scale deployment.
