Action Group C2 - Development of interoperable independent living solutions

EIP on AHA’s Action groups were (2012-2020) a community of partners committed to work on specific issues related to active and healthy ageing. They did this by sharing their knowledge and expertise with their peers, increasing the added-value of their national and local experience, and identifying gaps that need to be fulfilled at European level. Currently, Futurium is the platform of choice for partners to continue to share their work.

The objective of the C2 Action Group was to develop interoperable independent living solutions, including guidelines for business models. This should boost the deployment of open and personalised solutions supported by global standards, the validated implementation of interoperable platforms and new evidence on the return of investment, helping to promote active and independent living. This is essential for creating a market for cost-effective products and services and to reinforce research and innovation through public-private partnerships. The Action Group gathered around 100 commitments and can provide essential input to the creation of a new market for cost-effective products and services for older people, helping them to live a more active and independent life.
