Conditions studied: Frailty, Old Age
In brief
The Integrating Health promotion with and for Older People eHealth (IHOPe) project is expected to contribute vital knowledge on how older peoples capabilities and societal resources can be used in a more efficient way to promote health, self-management and enhance teamwork in partnership.The aim is to describe and evaluate this person-centered e-support intervention that promotes a sustainable partnership between community-dwelling frail older people and health and social care professionals. A digital platform, co-created with users and designed to create inclusion of individuals who today are living in a digital alienation, will be used in the health planning. In IHOPe frail older people will be able to identify their potential health issues but also their resources together with team partners from health- and social care, family or societal representatives. The intervention consists of person-centered phone calls with a health care professional as well as access to a digital platform that is accessible to the old person and invited team-partners. The project includes a randomized controlled trial, a process evaluation and a health economic evaluation. People 75 years or older screened as frail will be included. Also, in the process evaluation team-partners using the digital platform will be included. Specifically, this project is expected to reduce hospitalizations, result in improved or retained self-efficacy whilst being cost effective. Additionally, the project is expected to enhance frail older peoples opportunities to participate as an equal partner in their contacts with health and social services.
