Abstract
Putting users at the heart of care: engaging the “cared-for” in integrated innovation
Highlights
Context: Eurostat population projections (1) estimate those aged over 60 will increase by two million people per annum in the coming decades
While the number of persons in need of care will increase, the number of persons available to provide informal and formal support and care will decrease. This means there is a need for innovation in health and wellbeing across the life course
Problem statement: Involving users in the innovation process contributes to successful design and implementation of solutions supporting ageing
Summary
Context: Eurostat population projections (1) estimate those aged over 60 will increase by two million people per annum in the coming decades. While the number of persons in need of care will increase, the number of persons available to provide informal and formal support and care will decrease. This means there is a need for innovation in health and wellbeing across the life course. Problem statement: Involving users in the innovation process contributes to successful design and implementation of solutions supporting ageing. There is a growing need to develop common practice allowing researchers to genuinely involve older people in the co-production of innovations in practice, especially in the care system and in social/health care services delivery
