General Objectives

1. Generate a new ICT Sanitary Model (K4CARE model) for assisting HCPs in the enlarged Europe. The system will seamlessly integrate services, healthcare practices, and assistance knowledge coming from old (e.g. Italy, UK) and new (e.g. Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary) European countries.

2. Propose a telematic and knowledge-based CS platform (K4CARE platform) that implements the above model. This platform will include all the technologies developed in the project and it will assist all the human actors involved in the care of HCPs. These actors include physicians, nurses, social workers, rehabilitative professionals, patient relatives, patients themselves, and citizens in general.

3. The platform will be tested on west (Italy, UK) and east (Czech Rep., Romania, Hungary) EU societies through pilot tests in order to highlight their differences and also to pursue a convergence to a homogeneous way-of-doing, contributing to a unique European Healthcare ICT society in HC.

4. The K4CARE platform can serve as a means of integrating knowledge about HCPs assistance all over the new and old EU countries. Some healthcare centres from Italy, UK, Czech Republic, Romania and Hungary will work to demonstrate that sharing this sort of knowledge across EU countries is not only possible but also beneficial and necessary for achieving an European standard HC service supported by the new technologies.
