European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing – Integrated Care (EIP AHA B3 - Integrated Care)

The European population is ageing rapidly, but living longer does not necessarily mean living a healthier, more active and independent life. The number of Europeans over 65 will double in the next 50 years, and the number of over 80's will almost triple. Life expectancy will continue to increase, yet unhealthy life years make up 20% of a person's life. In order to tackle these challenges, the European Commission has launched an initiative creating a partnership to obtain commitment and investment from stakeholderspublic and private, EU, national, regional and local who have jointly agreed on three priority areas for action: (i) prevention, screening and early diagnosis; (ii) care and cure; (iii) active ageing and independent living. In order to achieve the main goals of the initiative, six action groups have been prioritised, and Integrated Care of chronic conditions is one of them.
