Abstract Background People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are known to be at higher risk of adverse health outcomes and premature mortality when compared the housed population often face significant barriers attempting access services. This study aimed better understand specific care needs PEH facilitators associated with their timely equitable services in European context. Methods We conducted an exploratory cross-national qualitative involving people lived experience social professionals...
Previous work identified that older patients with non-oncological chronic conditions, their informal caregivers and health care professionals (HCPs) have psychological, social, financial informational needs, such as about treatments prognosis, effective communication, knowledge palliative (PC) or lacking confidence when delivering PC. Some of these needs can be addressed supported by Information Communications Technology (ICT). Within this study we present a set digital solutions been...
Policy makers need to consider the situation of poor provision Palliative Care (PC) in Europe. This deficiency has significant impact on older persons' health and contributes increased healthcare costs later life. The InAdvance project (ref. 825750) generated new policy recommendations based solutions for early detection referral PC adults. These emphasize positive quality life patients their families as well cost-effectiveness implementing such strategies. For this purpose, various...
Introduction: Cancer care delivery is complex given the multifaceted nature of cancer and involvement diverse professionals. Accessing for people experiencing homelessness (PEH) a greater challenge due to specific barriers this group. Therefore, primary, secondary preventive among population crucial. Target audience: The CANCERLESS project presents valuable insights policymakers, professionals, academics invested in understanding integrated PEH. Involvement Stakeholders Project: Active...
Early palliative (PC) among patients with non-oncological chronic conditions is not such extended as diagnosed cancer. This partially due to the lack of clear and consistent indicators triggers define an ‘early’ or ‘timely’ initiation PC services identification needs can be complex uncertain in transitions advanced chronicity. The EU-funded project InAdvance (ref.: 825750) aims implement strategies identify older that could benefit from sooner trajectory diseases. For that, a multi-centre...
Background. Adults with intellectual disabilities are starting to live longer, and the percentage of family caregivers who grow old is increasing as well, facing a long-term care. This challenge together their own-age related health issues lack integrated care provision may have significant repercussions on caregivers, not adequately supported by services that usually provide fragmented Nevertheless, many studies primarily focused children disabilities. Based research findings, intervention...
Frailty is one of the most challenging issues among older adults, and relationship between frailty falls has already been assessed numerous times in literature. In present study, we explored mediating role self-efficacy related to (FSe) fall risk. a cross-sectional design, 1080 community-dwelling adults from Rotterdam (Netherlands) Valencia (Spain) completed questionnaire data were then analyzed via mediation analysis using bootstrapping approach. Results show that higher associated with...
Although clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have many benefits for practice, they also several barriers to their acceptance by professionals. Our objective in this study was design and validate The Aleph palliative care (PC) CDSS through a user-centred method, considering the predictions of artificial intelligence (AI) core, usability user experience (UX).We performed two rounds individual evaluation sessions with potential users. Each session included model evaluation, task test UX...
People experiencing homelessness (PEH) have a higher prevalence of adverse health outcomes and premature mortality compared to the non-homeless population. These include burden cancer cancer-specific morbidity mortality-outcomes that may be consequence significant barriers accessing primary secondary prevention community services. This study aimed better comprehend needs preventive care for PEH across four European countries as well necessary considerations developing interventions around...
Palliative care (PC) has demonstrated benefits for life-limiting illnesses. Bad survival prognosis and patients' decline are working criteria to guide PC decision-making older patients. Still, there is not a clear consensus on when initiate early PC. This work aims propose machine learning approaches predict frailty mortality in patients supporting decision-making. Predictive models based Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM) Deep Neural Networks (DNN) were implemented binary 1-year...
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare signifies a substantial shift, offering benefits to patients and systems while also introducing new risks. emphasis on patient safety performance standards is pivotal, especially with the European Union’s strides towards regulating AI through Act. This act focuses classifying based risk levels, mandating stringent requirements for high-risk AI, enhancing transparency, ensuring ethics applications. concept an “AI passport”...

Tilburg Frailty indicator (TFI) has been widely used in community healthcare settings for assessing frailty. objective this study evaluate predictive performance TFI several adverse outcomes community-dwelling adults. was tested through linear regression analyses receiver operating characteristics...
Abstract Background Rising life expectancy and ageing population are current phenomena that European society is facing these challenges for the healthcare systems. To face them, several e-health solutions already designed to optimize resources of provider system. However, most them not being implemented or deployed. Some reasons lack digital skills innovation readiness in staff, existing barriers changing organizational practices. Objectives The DISH project...
Palliative care is an alternative to standard for gravely ill patients that has demonstrated many clinical benefits in cost-effective interventions. It expected grow demand soon, so it necessary detect those who may benefit from these programs using a personalised objective criterion at the correct time. Our goal was develop responsive and minimalist web application embedding 1-year mortality explainable predictive model assess palliative bedside consultation. A been trained. We ranked input...
Abstract Background and objective People experiencing homelessness (PEH) face significant health challenges disparities in healthcare access due to barriers such as unstable housing, limited resources, social stigma.
