PERSSILAA is a unique project that aims to develop and validate a new service model for older people, to screen for and prevent frailty. This multimodal service model, focusing on nutrition, physical and cognitive function, is supported by an interoperable ICT service infrastructure, utilising intelligent decision support systems and gamification. PERSSILAA offered to older adults (> 65 years) through local community service, will be seamlessly integrated with health care services.
PERSSILAA develops service modules that focus on screening, monitoring and training.
Screening centres on the use of accessible and user friendly screening instruments to get an overall picture of an individual’s nutritional, functional and cognitive state.
Monitoring involves unobtrusive ambulant monitoring of every day functioning and its change in time in terms of being physically active, performance of cognitive demanding tasks and nutrition behaviour.
Training modules involve the use of remotely available health literacy programs, health promoting activities and professionally supported services developed in line with the chronic care model (Wagner, 1998), strongly emphasizing on improving self management.
PERSSILAA innovates our service organization by changing it from the current fragmented reactive disease management into preventive personalized services for community dwelling older adults. Services are offered through local community services, will be supported by a proactive team of caregivers and health professionals and are integrated into existing healthcare services.
The technical service infrastructure to support these multiple services and users will be efficient, reliable, easy and attractive to use.
