Abstract

The European population is ageing. Funding pressure, policy imperatives and apparent technological possibilities have created significant policy interest in the provision of more integrated care services to older people. However, the track record of attempts to develop such services, suggest many difficulties still have to be confronted. This paper reports on progress in a European Union funded project involving collaboration between local government, system developers, service providers and users to develop virtual health and social care services for older people. A key feature of the project is the use of a new 'co-production' approach to make 'users' central to the system design and development process.
