Innovative approaches to active and healthy ageing: Campania experience to improve the adoption of innovative good practices
The demographic projections on the
European population predict that people aged over
60 will increase by about two million/year in the next
decades. Since 2012, the Campania Reference Site of
the European Innovation Partnership on Active and
Healthy Ageing supports the innovation of the
Regional Health System, to face up demographic
changes and sustainability. Campania Reference Site
provides the opportunity to connect loco-regional
stakeholders in social and health care services
(universities, healthcare providers, social services,
local communities and municipalities), with
international organizations, in order to adopt and
scale up innovative solutions and approaches. This
paper describes the building process of Campania
Reference Site and the main results achieved, that
have been allowing it to become a hub for open
innovation in the field of active and healthy aging at
regional, national and international level
Health tourism: an opportunity for sustainable development
In February 2017, the âProgramma
Mattone Internazionale Saluteâ (ProMis), that is the
Italian Program for Internationalization of Regional
Health Systems of the Ministry of Health (MoH),
presented the first version of its Position Paper on
Health Tourism, which embeds a first shared
approach to the recommendations expressed by the
European Committee of Regions (CoR) on "AgeFriendly" tourism. The CoR stresses the importance
of local and regional authorities in the coordination
of multi-sectoral policies such as healthcare, social
assistance, transport, urban planning and rural
development in relation to the promotion of mobility,
security, accessibility of services, including health
care and social services.
"Age-friendly" tourism is an example of an
innovative tourist offer that strives to meet the health
needs of the entire "traveling" population, with an
integrated and cross-sector approach that involves
various organizations operating in sectors such as
healthcare, accessibility and transport.
The aim of the workshop was to explore the
interest of the stakeholders to participate in a
systemic action in the field of "health" tourism, and
to identify priority implementation areas that offer
opportunities to take advantage of validated,
innovative experiences that strengthen the
accessibility to health and social services in regional,
national and international contexts.
This effort provides the opportunity to take
advantage of aligning the European Structural and
Investment Funds (ESIF) to the development of
tourism, coherently with the needs and resources of
local and regional health authorities
ARIA digital anamorphosis : Digital transformation of health and care in airway diseases from research to practice
Digital anamorphosis is used to define a distorted image of health and care that may be viewed correctly using digital tools and strategies. MASK digital anamorphosis represents the process used by MASK to develop the digital transformation of health and care in rhinitis. It strengthens the ARIA change management strategy in the prevention and management of airway disease. The MASK strategy is based on validated digital tools. Using the MASK digital tool and the CARAT online enhanced clinical framework, solutions for practical steps of digital enhancement of care are proposed.Peer reviewe
The reference site collaborative network of the european innovation partnership on active and healthy ageing
Seventy four Reference Sites of the European Innovation
Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA)
have been recognised by the European Commission in
2016 for their commitment to excellence in investing and
scaling up innovative solutions for active and healthy
ageing. The Reference Site Collaborative Network
(RSCN) brings together the EIP on AHA Reference Sites
awarded by the European Commission, and Candidate
Reference Sites into a single forum. The overarching goals
are to promote cooperation, share and transfer good
practice and solutions in the development and scaling up
of health and care strategies, policies and service delivery
models, while at the same time supporting the action
groups in their work. The RSCN aspires to be recognized
by the EU Commission as the principal forum and
authority representing all EIP on AHA Reference Sites.
The RSCN will contribute to achieve the goals of the EIP
on AHA by improving health and care outcomes for
citizens across Europe, and the development of sustainable
economic growth and the creation of jobs

An IT-supported multidimensional approach for frailty screening in community-dwelling older adults
The Italian reference sites of the European innovation partnership on active and healthy ageing: Progetto Mattone Internazionale as an enabling factor
Ageing population implies an increasing demand for health care services and resources, unsustainable according to current previsions. The European Commission is tackling this challenge throughout initiatives such as the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP-AHA), where all the efforts are aligned to the common goal of adding two active and healthy years to the life of European Union (EU) citizens
Digital Health Service for Identification of Frailty Risk Factors in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: The SUNFRAIL+ Study Protocol
This article reports the study protocol of a nationwide multicentric study in seven Italian regions aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a digitally supported approach for the early screening of frailty risk factors in community-dwelling older adults. SUNFRAIL+ is a prospective observational cohort study aimed at carrying out a multidimensional assessment of community-dwelling older adults through an IT platform, which allows to connect the items of the SUNFRAIL frailty assessment tool with a cascading multidimensional in-depth assessment of the bioâpsychoâsocial domains of frailty. Seven centers in seven Italian regions will administer the SUNFRAIL questionnaire to 100 older adults. According to the answers provided by older adults, they will be subjected to one or more validated in-depth scale tests in order to perform further diagnostic or dimensional evaluations. The study aims to contribute to the implementation and validation of a multiprofessional and multistakeholder service model for the screening of frailty in community-dwelling older adult population
