Aim
Description
JADE Health is designed to integrate validated best practices and/or (cost-)effective interventions across countries and regions through transnational pilot initiatives, complementing and reinforcing existing policies and programs. The project covers holistically all the pathology, from improving health literacy and awareness of dementia, traveling through screening and primary prevention among high-risk populations, and reaching people living with Dementia including other neurological disorders. This project will consider the role of care providers, relatives, and health professionals, improving service pathways and care solutions.
The project initiative covers the entire pathology from a holistic viewpoint. Awareness, prevention, early detection, treatment, and care methods. JADE Health also addresses transversal and intersectional aspects, e.g., promoting equity in health, social, cultural, and ethnic diversity, and the improvement of data availability.
The project involves 44 organizations from 17 countries. The project is coordinated by La Fundación para la Formación e Investigación de los Profesionales de la Salud de Extremadura (FundeSalud) (Spain). The project in Latvia is being implemented in cooperation with Riga Stradiņš University and Riga Eastern Clinical University Hospital.
