This project consists in the creation of an integrated e-learning information and collaboration online platform on health and diseases of the elderly (55+), targeting specialists/ clinicians, primary care providers, registered nurses, informal caregivers as well as senior citizens to whom the same evidence-based, up-to-date and accredited content will be made accessible in level-adjusted formats. The implementation is planned initially in Switzerland and subsequently in 5 European key regions as well as an outreach to China. A parallel scientific research study will demonstrate the use and value of an integrated platform that successfully addresses the informational needs of health professionals and the senior population in tandem.
