As life expectancy continues to increase in most EU Member States, smart technologies can help enable older people to continue living at home, despite the challenges accompanying the ageing process. The Innovation Action (IA) SHAPES 'Smart and Healthy Ageing through People Engaging in Supportive Systems' funded by the EU under the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (grant agreement number 857159) attends to these topics to support active and healthy ageing and the wellbeing of older adults. This protocol article outlines the SHAPES project's objectives and aims, methods, structure, and expected outcomes. SHAPES seeks to build, pilot, and deploy a large-scale, EU-standardised interoperable, and scalable open platform. The platform will facilitate the integration of a broad range of technological, organisational, clinical, educational, and social solutions. SHAPES emphasises that the home is much more than a house-space; it entails a sense of belonging, a place and a purpose in the community. SHAPES creates an ecosystem - a network of relevant users and stakeholders - who will work together to scale-up smart solutions. Furthermore, SHAPES will create a marketplace seeking to connect demand and supply across the home, health and care services. Finally, SHAPES will produce a set of recommendations to support key stakeholders seeking to integrate smart technologies in their care systems to mediate care delivery. Throughout, SHAPES adopts a multidisciplinary research approach to establish an empirical basis to guide the development of the platform. This includes long-term ethnographic research and a large-scale pan-European campaign to pilot the platform and its digital solutions within the context of seven distinct pilot themes. The project will thereby address the challenges of ageing societies in Europe and facilitate the integration of community-based health and social care. SHAPES will thus be a key driver for the transformation of healthcare and social care services across Europe.
在大多数欧盟成员国，随着预期寿命持续增长，尽管老龄化进程带来诸多挑战，但智能技术有助于老年人继续在家中生活。由欧盟在“地平线2020研究与创新计划”（资助协议编号857159）下资助的创新行动（IA）SHAPES（通过参与支持系统实现智能与健康老龄化）关注这些议题，以支持老年人积极健康老龄化及福祉。本方案文章概述了SHAPES项目的目标、宗旨、方法、结构和预期成果。SHAPES旨在构建、试点并部署一个大规模、符合欧盟标准、可互操作且可扩展的开放平台。该平台将促进广泛的技术、组织、临床、教育和社会解决方案的整合。SHAPES强调家远不止是一个居住空间；它蕴含着归属感、在社区中的位置和意义。SHAPES创建了一个生态系统——由相关用户和利益相关者组成的网络——他们将共同努力扩大智能解决方案的规模。此外，SHAPES将创建一个市场，旨在连接家庭、健康和护理服务的供需双方。最后，SHAPES将提出一系列建议，以支持寻求将智能技术整合到其护理系统中以调节护理服务提供的关键利益相关者。自始至终，SHAPES采用多学科研究方法来建立实证基础，以指导平台的开发。这包括长期的人种志研究以及一场大规模的泛欧活动，以便在七个不同的试点主题背景下对平台及其数字解决方案进行试点。该项目将由此应对欧洲老龄化社会的挑战，并促进基于社区的健康和社会护理的整合。因此，SHAPES将成为欧洲医疗保健和社会护理服务转型的关键驱动力。
