iCareCoops
iCareCoops is a new, ambitious 2-year project, that tackles the increasing demand for elderly care at a time of limited resources. Eight partners from seven European countries create novel ICT-driven solutions to empower carers and elderly people to extend the time they can live in their preferred environment by facilitating the cooperative model. iCareCoops is designed as a three-level-concept with information, cooperative, and AAL-driven service levels. These intelligent, interactive and inclusive services will be developed with deep end-user involvement and will be provided via a powerful web-based platform, a mobile app, and an Open API. Users will find essential know-how on elderly care and cooperatives on the complementary Open Knowledge Hub.
The Foundation Navigator and convenient applications such as Member Management and Collective Buying streamline the process of founding and efficiently running a cooperative. Existing AAL tools will be integrated via the AAL Solution Selector and a free CareCast App.
