The MetaRed Portugal is an association of Portuguese public and private higher education institutions, which is also open to other public administration bodies that carry out relevant activities in the field of ICT and in particular its application in higher education. It aims to be a “meeting point” for debate, reflection and collaborative work on the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in higher education, with full respect for the principle of autonomy of institutions, respecting their individual freedom to make their own decisions, proposing recommendations and promoting the sharing of experiences and good practices.
The main approach of NET4AGE-FRIENDLY is the creation of local or regional ecosystems in each COST country involved, to work on health and well-being in a digital world favorable to older people. The ecosystems will be made up of citizens, public authorities, companies/NGOs and researchers. They will be supported by four thematic working groups (inclusive user-centered design in age-friendly environments and communities; integrated health and well-being pathways; digital solutions and large-scale sustainable implementation; policy development, funding forecasting and cost-benefit assessments). The results of the thematic working groups will be integrated by a specific working group to create a synergistic result in the form of a reference framework.
The aim of GoodBrother is to raise awareness of the ethical, legal and privacy issues associated with audio- and video-based monitoring and propose privacy-conscious working solutions for assisted living, creating an interdisciplinary community of researchers and industry partners from different fields (computer science, engineering, healthcare, law, sociology) and other stakeholders (users, policy makers, public services), stimulating new research and innovation. GoodBrother will offset the “Big Brother” feeling of continuous monitoring by increasing user acceptance, exploiting these new solutions and improving market reach.
The aim of the action COST da Rede de Investigação sobre o Envelhecimento Vascular is to establish a network that will work to improve the development of new, user-friendly technologies for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment and monitoring of vascular ageing, through dialogue between industry and scientists, using a translational approach and establishing protocols for the validation of new technologies; harmonize knowledge by initiating a registry to complete the clinical validation of the most established surrogate endpoints, including comparisons of techniques, and by initiating peer network-oriented intervention studies in order to use the multiplicative effect of the network and promote a culture of vascular aging and propagate the use of preventive technologies and strategies, fostering viable solutions in low-income countries.
