Mathematical models (i.e. Markov Chains, decisions trees and Bayesian Networks) and computer simulations (e.g. Montecarlo simulations) can support scientists in considering HTA prospective (i.e. will the final product be cost-effective, apart being safe?) as soon as possible during the research and develop stages. WHO stated that HTA is perceived as a barrier to the introduction of new technologies in the health care systems (80% developed by SME in EU) and one of the reason is that: “the 'problem' of the assessments is considered only when the technology is close to its placing on the market and not during R&D process”*. This commitment aims to organize training schools, workshops and webinars aiming to spread the knowledge of those methods (i.e. early stage HTA, headroom, few states Markov models and Bayesian networks applied to health economics during research and development) and tools (e.g. MAFEIP tool, Nottingham early stage HTA tool etc.) across partners, aiming to facilitate the translation of research outcomes out of the research labs and to increase their impact, speeding their uptake (e.g. NHS reimbursement for medical applications), if appropriate. At European level, the Commitment will work in strict collaboration with the European Alliance for Medical and Biological Engineering and Science (EAMBES). Regarding international level, the Commitment will build on existing interactions with the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE). The IFMBE is also a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) for the United Nations with wide network to national societies. As recognized NGO, the IFMBE is constantly called to provide technical and scientifically inputs to all the UN and has the possibility to nominate a focal point persons proactively involved in the General Assemblies of all the UN agencies, including those that are particularly relevant for AHA including the WHO, World Bank etc. Dr Pecchia, responsible for the coordination of this commitment, is a member of the Administrative Council of the IFMBE, Chair of the IFMBE Health Technology Assessment Division, and Chairman of the EAMBES Public Affair Working Group. *WHO web site (last access 15.04.2016): http://www.who.int/medical_devices/assessment/en/";"3.1 Benchmarking criteria & tools. , 4.1 Sustainability, ""lobbying"" and community generation around falls prevention related topics , 4.2 Looking for funding and finance opportunities";"";"Leandro Pecchia";"l.pecchia@warwick.ac.uk";"Sunday, 14 June, 2015";"Sunday, 10 June, 2018";"This Commitment will be mainly financed by the IFMBE Health Technology Assessment Division (HTAD) [http://2016.ifmbe.org/organisation-structure/divisions/].

This latter activity will be also pursued by the assessment of health pharmaceutical databases. Then targeted strategies (specific therapeutic interventions and nutritional intervention) will be pursued in order to decrease the risk of subsequent falls and favour functional recovery, as assessed from a biomechanical point of view.

Since falls are due to complex and dynamic interaction of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors, combinations of wearable physiological sensors, together with wearable accelerometers, will be used to detect in real time the onset of Autonomous Nervous System (ANS) states responsible for a limited capability to react, while exposed to extrinsic risky situations (i.e. rising form bed, unsupervised toileting). The majority of other researches focusing on falls prevention and prediction have focused mainly on wearable accelerometers/gyroscopes and/or ambient sensors (i.e. pressure sensors, cameras, motion sensors), and not physiological sensing. Those approaches are giving interesting results, but their cost-effectiveness can suffer from the fact that the those are additive technologies having no other direct benefit for elderly health.

By the age of 70 half of the population will have experienced syncope at least once. We will focus on cardio-postural control interactions, which occur during upright posture. During standing, physiological responses (increased heart rate and vasoconstriction) and the effects of skeletal muscle contractions of blood vessels ensure that venous return to the heart and blood flow to the brain is maintained. With increasing age these mechanisms are compromised leading to reduced blood flow to the brain and dizziness, presyncope and fall-related injuries. Detailed analysis of cardio-postural interactions in the elderly would allow for increased understanding of cardiovascular regulation in the aging and suggest ways to prevent syncope. Mathematical modeling can be applied to quantify complex interactions leading to tools for assessing syncopal tendencies and the design of treatment strategies.

The consortium is more fully described on our website http://profound.eu.com. ProFouND has worked with the EIP-AHA focusing on falls prevention to bring about the dissemination and implementation of best practice in falls prevention across Europe, using novel ICT solutions. The originally funded ProFouND comprised of 21 partners from 12 countries and with associate members from 10 countries. ProFouND has brought together relevant stakeholders to consolidate guidelines regarding fall prevention and facilitate communication between service providers and key stakeholders (private and voluntary organisations, public authorities) at national, regional or local level to ensure effective implementation and reach. ProFouND aims to influence policy and to increase awareness of falls and innovative prevention programmes amongst all sectors and organisations that work with older people. ProFouND’s objective is to embed evidence based fall prevention programmes for older people at risk of falls using novel ICT and effective training programmes, to facilitate widespread implementation. ProFouND has submitted a Business Plan and Sustainability Strategy to EC and at the final meeting of the consortium in Feb 2016 the majority of partners agreed to continue to work together to progress the work of the EIP-AHA AGA2 as ProFouND for the next 3 years. Specifically 1. UNIMAN have offered to provide a light touch administrative coordination function for the immediate 6 months following end of funding and to look into how such a function could be maintained in the longer term. Individual partners will continue to work as part of EIP-AHA to disseminate best practice and network with partners. 2. Partner EuroSafe volunteers to continue to coordinate communications among the European Stakeholders Alliance on Falls for a further 3 years, and to facilitate the partnership of European stakeholder organisations in implementing the campaign materials produced in the framework of the annual European Falls Awareness campaigns. UNIMAN has undertaken to continue to provide the central co-ordination of the press releases involved in the annual campaign for the coming years with EIP-AHA dissemination and feedback. Other partners will need to commit on an individual basis to work with the EIP AHA on the Annual Campaign. 3. UNIMAN will liaise with partners in order to continue the series of EU Falls Festival events as these provide an excellent platform for the exchange of good practice amongst the various professions and stakeholders. Specifically we have offers from partners in the Netherlands to host 2017, UK 2018, and Norway 2019. Funding mechanisms for this are being explored. 4. The ProFouND website will be maintained, Partner NTNU have offered ongoing support for the portal resources and content management, supported by ProFouND NEC members for continued uploading of resources onto the portal to ensure sustainability for the coming 3 years. Demokritos have committed to providing technical support for the portal with modest payments. 5. Partner ECHAlliance will continue to encourage and promote the use of the Online Innovation Factory developed as part of ProFouND for the coming 3 years. 6. Partner LLT will continue to provide support for cascade training but using a market model including payment for services. The online training portal for cascade training will be maintained as well as face to face training provided as a market activity. 7.

The aim of the current work we are performing in our neuro-rehabilitation center is to develop a program for falls prevention and to evaluate it for secondary falls prevention. The work is articulated into three phases. In the first phase, programs and practices in falls prevention are being collected and systematized in an easy-to-use repository. In the next phase, the efficacy of the repository for secondary falls prevention will be evaluated by longitudinally recording falls in a population of patients who experienced an injurious fall and were admitted to a rehabilitation hospital because of it. In the third phase we will evaluate a Fall Risk Index, comparing the data from the evaluations with the evidence based falls database. We would like to be included in the PROEIPAHA database, contributing to the reaching of the impact indicators within the AG A2 practice, augmenting the numbers of members (physiatrists/physiotherapists/bio-engineers), in different neurological settings (Parkinson disease, neuropathies, etc..), sharing our database, or, eventually, even extending the study in a multinational dimension.";"1.2 Widening the AG A2 collection of innovative practices , 2.2 Experts agreement to evaluate quality of practices/technologies in falls prevention. , 4.2 Looking for funding and finance opportunities";"";"massimo caprino";"m.caprino@ccppdezza.it";"Friday, 15 April, 2016";"Sunday, 31 December, 2017";"We are collecting data regarding our inbound patients, at the arrival and at the discharge from the clinic and then at home, after 3 and 6 months.

The main purpose of this development work has been to produce new information in fall prevention to ensure that students are given enough evidence-based knowledge and practical experiences about how to prevent falls, already during their studies. In addition, new pedagogical methods will be developed, tried and tested. The pedagogy of this development work is based on the philosophy of integrative learning and connective training. Integrative pedagogy is a teaching principle that connects the basic elements of expertise. On an individual level, these elements are theoretical knowledge, practical expertise, self-regulation skills development and socio-cultural information, which are manifested on a wider scale in the workplace. A pilot study phase in spring 2016 was initiated under the framework of educational development. The main idea behind data collection was to determine the learning experiences of health care students and their understanding regarding fall prevention among old people. The data for this pilot study were collected in three phases. The data in the study phase 1 was collected from the small student group thematic discussions at the beginning of the gerontological nursing and home care course. The students are asked to discuss their previous understanding about environmental and personal factors related to falls and fall prevention. The data in phase 2 was collected through observation of the simulations and by using a thematic analysis of the educational debriefing. The phase 3 data will be collected by using a focus group interviewing, where the students reflect on their experiences about fall prevention after the clinical practice in May 2016. The participants of this pilot study are 30 voluntary health care female students from Savonia University of Applied Sciences, who participate in a gerontological nursing and home care course in spring 2016. One educational theme in this course is fall prevention among old people. The data in the pilot study will be analyzed during the spring 2016. The results of the pilot study will be published in national and international journals. In additional, the results of this pilot study will be used in educational development work in autumn 2016 when pedagogical methods will be developed.

There are some studies and clinical applications in this area, but our approach is novel in two ways. First, we will focus on the potential benefits of rhythmic imagery, that is, the possibility of imagining rhythmic patterns instead of hearing or seeing them. This possibility would strongly contribute to increase the patient’s autonomy and it would be more cost-effective than current approaches that rely on external technological devices. Second, we will investigate the role of emotional arousal in rhythm-driven gait. Emotional arousal may be conveyed by the groove – a property of the rhythmic stimulus acting as a driving force in most humans -, and by the idiosyncratic (associative) meanings of musical materials ( the “Darling, that’s our song” effect). In our studies, we will compare Parkinson’s Disease patients with age-matched healthy controls. Therefore, we will also have results on the impact of rhythm on gait parameters within the non-degenerated population.";"1.1 Bringing together relevant information concerning existing programmes and practices in falls prevention, 1.2 Widening the AG A2 collection of innovative practices , 4.2 Looking for funding and finance opportunities";"";"Susana Silva";"susanamsilva@fpce.up.pt";"Thursday, 1 September, 2016";"Friday, 30 August, 2019";"";"Área Metropolitana do Porto";"Rua Alfredo Allen, s/n, 4200-135 Porto";"Porto";"Portugal";"Health";"http://www.fpce.up.pt/cpup/english/index.html";"International";"";"Porto4Ageing";"Improve gait stability in Parkinson´s Disease and healthy seniors, Reduce falls by at least 10% in Parkinson's Disease and healthy seniors";"Disseminating findings in the general public, Presenting findings to the scientific community, Publishing one paper, Create partnership to implement a prevention programme , Reporting the outcomes of prevention programme";"";"";"";"Research / academia" "3215";"Falls and fracture prevention initiative in LRMP";"Commitment";"Ongoing";"A2 - 1.Scaling up of innovative practices.";"17/06/2016 - 19:10";"A2 Falls prevention";"The initiative in the Region Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi Pyrénées: (i) raises awareness, (ii) drives attitude change with respect to falls and falls prevention and (iii) improves access to information on falls prevention.

Active and Healthy Ageing (AHA) is a major societal challenge common to all countries and to all populations (1). Ageing is intertwined with socioeconomic inequalities, is an under-appreciated cause of poverty and hinders economic development, particularly in underserved populations and in women. AHA needs to be promoted very early in life to be successful. The EIP on AHA is deployed in 3 areas and 6 action plans (2) (Table I): Table I: Areas and action plans of the EIP on AHA • Prevention of diseases and health promotion: o Innovative ways to ensure that patients adhere to their treatment (A1). o Innovative solutions for personalised health management, with focus on falls prevention (A2). o Action for preventing functional decline and frailty, with a particular focus on malnutrition (A3). • Care and cure: Scaling up and replication of successful innovative integrated care models for chronic diseases amongst older patients, such as through remote monitoring (B3). • Active and independent living of older adults by improving the uptake of interoperable independent living solutions including guidelines for business models (C2). • Horizontal topics: Networking and knowledge sharing on innovation for age-friendly environments (D4). The Région Languedoc Roussillon (LR) is the umbrella organisation for an interconnected and integrated project on AHA. It covers the 3 pillars of the EIP on AHA (3). All of the sub-activities (A1, A2, A3, B3, C2 and D4) are included in MACVIA-LR which has a strong political commitment and involves all stakeholders (public, private, patients and policy makers). It is one of the reference sites of the EIP on AHA. Falls represent a major cause of burden and death in older adults. Approximately 30% of people over the age of 65 fall each year, and one third of them are repeated fallers. Falls are the most serious and frequent home accidents. The WHO has estimated that, since 2010, 540,000 people have died due to a fall (4). Falls are caused by numerous factors including mental health disorders (5), depression (6), impaired vision, certain medications (especially psychotropic drugs) (7), decreased activity of daily living and impaired cognition. A multidisciplinary approach is therefore optimal (8). Approximately 30% of falls result in an injury that requires medical attention, with fractures occurring in approximately 5% and hip fractures in 1% (9-11). Falls are the third leading cause of years lived with disability and are one of the leading causes for hospitalization. Falls can also have psychological consequences resulting in reduction of physical function and social interaction. Falling puts a strain on the family and is an independent predictor of admission to a nursing home. Falls in nursing homes are common (12, 13), and the rate is much higher than in ambulatory older subjects (14). Falls represent around 15% of overall hospital admissions. Confirmed diagnoses of fractures of the femur account for 10% of overall admissions (15), and fractures in nursing homes represent between 1 to 2% (16). Falls are also the most common type of inpatient accident, and account for up to 70%. Approximately 30% of hospital patient falls result in physical injury, with 4 to 6% resulting in serious injury (17). According to the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) (http://www.openlivinglabs.eu), a Living Lab is a real-life test and experimentation environment where users and producers co-create innovation, Public-Private-People Partnerships (PPPP) fostering user-driven open innovation. It allows research results to be deployed in real life for all users. The MACVIA-LR falls initiative is a cross-cutting Living Lab based on the EIP on AHA at the regional level. It covers all of the action plans (A1, A2, A3, B3, C2, and D4) of the EIP on AHA. The Living Lab will: (i) raise awareness,(ii) drive attitude change with respect to falls and falls prevention, and (iii) improve access to information on falls prevention (http://www.chu-montpellier.fr/fr/acteurs-de-sante/prises-en-charges-specifiques/personnes-agees/projet-macvia-lr/) (Figure 1). Figure 1: The MACVIA Falls Living Lab The Languedoc-Roussillon Region (budget of 1.2 billion €, 3200 members) has the following mission: to address the issues of education, training, economic development, long-term national and regional development, research and public health. Social care is vital (highest population growth rate in Metropolitan France) and the Region has made important investments in the training of health and primary prevention (health education programme for 15-25 year olds) (Figure 2).

It is a specialist medical clinic for people who have fallen or who have been screened by their general practitioner (GP) as having a significant risk of falling (people who complain of fear of falling, balance disorders, dizziness, low muscle strength in the lower limbs). In accordance with their GP, some of the patients have been screened through public awareness/information campaigns organized by the different municipalities around Montpellier. Every year, the LR Balance and Falls Prevention Clinic tests around 200 patients aged 65 years or above. Patients at risk of falls (or recurrent falls) benefit from a 3-hour geriatric multidimentional assessment by a geriatrician and a physiotherapist. Based on this first assessment, the clinical assessment may be supplemented at the same time by other examinations (neurologist, ophtalmologist, ENT, dietician, social worker) (18). If needed, a bone density scan is performed to check for osteoporosis, as recommended recently (19-21). Based on this comprehensive examination, a management plan for falls and fracture prevention is given to the patient and mailed to the referent physician. This plan includes tailored physical exercises to improve balance, muscle strength, flexibility, and motor coordination. Documents are also given to the patient (ProFouND tools, in particular) (22) (http://www.chu-montpellier.fr/fileadmin/Docutheque/Tripli_PreventionChute_1112_200ex.pdf).The examination is complemented by the home visit of an occupational therapist. Depending on the results of the assessment, patients may be oriented towards physical activity training groups developed in collaboration with city councils and the University Department of Science of Physical Activities and Sports. A network of specialists particularly interested in falls prevention (physiotherapists, occupational therapists) has been created, with regular meetings to disseminate new evidence in falls prevention. http://www.cdomk34.fr/index.php/newsletter/archive/view/listid-1-mailinglist/mailid-58-invitation-du-cdomk34 The LR Balance and Falls Prevention Clinic has a local recruitment of people at risk of falls and is a ressource centre for GPs and hospitals throughout the area. It is also a research and teaching centre that helps to coordinate research (in link with Euromov, M2H), education (in link with STAPS), and dissemination in the field of falls prevention in LR. The Clinic provides its experience and help to create falls prevention consultations and day hospitals throughout the region. The interoperable ICPs for falls prevention uses DXCare® (MedaSys, http://www.medasys.fr and Orange business service (http://www.orange-business.com). This is the most common ICT tool used in French hospitals. Also operational in SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) mode, DxCare® allows procedures and coding to be collected within the patient records, and offers flexibility of implementation. It is operational in Montpellier (IPSoins®)(23). Behavioural and psychological symptoms and depression predict falls among nursing home residents, independently of physical performance and psychotropic drugs (7). As an example, lavender olfactory stimulation may reduce agitation and falls in elderly nursing home residents (24). The Altera group has developed a programme of cognitive stimulation activities using touchpads adapted to nursing home residents with cognitive impairment (http://www.altera.com). The objective of the ongoing study conducted in 50 nursing homes in the LR region is to demonstrate that Kodro may improve quality of life and prevent cognitive decline, behavioural disturbances and falls in nursing home residents with cognitive deterioration (http://www.kodro.fr). Nîmes university hospital The Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation centre of Nîmes university hospital accommodates patients suffering from loss of autonomy, in particular further to a fall. Since 1995, it has been developing programmes for the recovery of postural control and to enable patients to regain their autonomy. In these programmes, the patients benefit from care and support until they return to their place of residence (Mobile EGERIteam). The centre has a clinical, instrumental, and technical evaluation platform for postural control. Moreover, patients at risk of fall (especially those with neurodegenerative diseases and orthopaedic disorders) are screened in the centre. It functions in association with the Memory centre and implements physical activity prevention programmes (Table 3).

It participates actively in the living lab falls MACVIA-LR project within the framework of its Institut Régional du Vieillissement (Regional Ageing Institute) which includes 5 operational centres: • An observational centre • An approval and evaluation centre • A global and flexible office for all services to simplify access and provide advice and guidance to retired or pre-retired social security contributors who are at risk of frailty. As soon as a patient at risk of fall is detected, a plan is established in order to direct him/her towards identified preventative workshops or adapted establishments (prevention centres). • An advisory centre for relevant training • A research, study and experimentation centre 2- Low vision institute (A2, D4) The impairment of vision is associated with a loss of function in activities of daily living. Avoidance of physical activity and consequent reduced functional capacity is common in older people with visual impairment and is an important risk factor for falls (25, 26). The ARAMAV institute in Nîmes is a multidisciplinary centre which aims to improve the vision of adults with a severe visual impairment. It includes training for improved vision by an ophthalmologist and an orthoptist (27). This evaluation enables environmental and behavioural interventions to be determined with occupational therapists and/or psychologists to increase mobility and quality of life. 3- Age-friendly environments (D4) Pôle Autonomie en Santé in Lattes (PAS), Etape (Figure 2) PAS proposes multi-sectoral innovative solutions to enable older and/or handicapped people to maintain independent living. The PAS project is managed by the city of Lattes’ Social Welfare Centre and is comprised of elected representatives of the city, the Département de l’Hérault (General Council) as well as citizens (http://www.etape-pole-autonomie-sante-lattes.org). It includes representatives of clubs and societies for senior citizens. PAS offers a free municipal public service dedicated to supporting the population in the choice and testing of technical and technological aids: ETAPE. PAS provides information for a database in accordance with the ISO 999/2011 norm for assistive products available in the centre. ETAPE promotes ICT products and services adapted to older people’s needs through the promotion of better access to urban services, higher autonomy and home services. It is participating in a pilot study to create a national database for the CNSA (Caisse Nationale de Solidarité pour l’Autonomie). ETAPE is part of the Smart Eco City® of the Montpellier Agglomeration. Around 1,100 persons (handicapped individuals, social workers, family members) visited ETAPE in 2013. Falls prevention represents a large percentage of the needs of these subjects. Given its mission of technology watch and referencing of innovative solutions for autonomy, ETAPE collaborates with approximately one hundred companies in order to test and demonstrate their products. This mission enables ETAPE to work with these companies to develop protocols of experiment and feedback with regards to their innovative solutions. There are close links between ETAPE, the Balance and Falls Prevention Clinic of the Montpellier hospital and I2ML. Satellite centres are being implemented in the Region and the first one is situated in Lodève (remote rural area in the Hérault department). 4- I2ML, home automation and silver economy (D4) The I2ML (Institut Méditerranéen des Métiers de Longévité) Fondation Partenariale was established in 2011 by the University of Nimes and 20 founder members and partners, including the Région LR, the Nîmes Métropole, the Conseil Général du Gard, the university hospital of Nîmes, insurance companies and other private companies. It has contributed to the emergence of a Silver Economy sector in LR. This Living Lab was first established as a centre for home automation, including the conception, improvement and innovation of products, services, interfaces and spaces. It was also developed for the user, the family and the practitioners involved in the conception process. It is run by five collaborators (an engineer specialist in home automation, an environmental psychologist with a specific interest in older people, a designer-ergonomist). This group is reinforced by experts in regulations, law, ethics, health, home automation and nutrition. 5- Education, training and coaching The Universities of Montpellier 1, 2, 3, the major training centres in Europe, the University of Nîmes and the Ecole des Mines d’Alès (Alès technology and engineering university) are involved in training activities. Founded in 1843 in Alès, the Ecole des Mines has developed and adapted to changes in industry and society. Founded to study the mining industry, it is now an engineering school (Grande Ecole) with an international reputation that forms multidisciplinary engineers. (http://www.mines-ales.fr) ETAPE is used by the INRS (Institut National de Recherche et Sécurité , http://www.inrs.fr ) for the training of occupational health and safety. ITEV: The Institut Transdisciplinaire d’Etude du Vieillissement (Transdisciplinary institute for ageing studies (http://www.itevephe.univ-montp2.fr/)) is an institute of the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (http://www.ephe.sorbonne.fr). Two teaching courses are effective in Montpellier in collaboration with the CNAM: (i) for the professional care givers of older people and (ii) for nurses in nursing homes. Trans InnovLongévité (Investissement d’avenir, Agence Nationale de la Recherche (http://www.agence-nationale-recherche.fr) is a trans-disciplinary, multisectoral, private-public partnership whose aim is to provide training and coaching on frailty, falls, ageing and independent living. It uses ICT teaching of 3 universities (Paris, Montpellier, Strasbourg: http://www.aunege.fr) and French speaking countries. Master Institute Télécom ICT and health: A joint training course that includes University Montpellier 1 and 2, the École des Mines d’Alès and the Télécom Institute for the multidisciplinary training of students (from ICT, physics, biology, medicine, pharmacy or sports) and citizens (http://www.telecom-montpellier.fr). 6- Research activities Basic and translational research is being carried out by the Inserm and CNRS units of the region. Moreover, EuroMov is a nexus for research, technology, and innovation in the Movement Sciences. EuroMov conducts state-of-the-art research on human normal and pathological movements, with high-level academic and professional training, technological development and business incubation (http://www.euromov.eu). The new EuroMov building (2500 m2), in the north of Montpellier, hosting all activities of the centre, was launched in June 2013, during the international conference HEALTH IN MOTION (organized by the EuroMov research unit -Movement to Health (M2H, Montpellier-1 University)). (http://www.euromov.eu) 7- Care pathways at the regional level with physicians (A3, B3), pharmacists (A1), nurses and social workers (A3, B3, D4) 97% of French private pharmacists use the Dossier Pharmaceutique® (DP®). The vast majority of patients agree to be followed by the DP®. Coverage includes over 35% of people in France (all ages). A project in collaboration with pharmacists and nurses will screen for possible falls in subjects over 75 years of age visiting pharmacies and nurses. This programme will include measures that can be taken to reduce the incidence of falls. It will also include an assessment of psychotropic drugs and their relation to falls using the DP® (A1). Based on the results of the project, an integrated care pathway for falls prevention will be established between pharmacists, nurses, primary care and an existing falls prevention clinic. If needed, adapted physical activity, interactions with social workers (CARSAT) and age-friendly coaching (D4) are proposed to the patient. The Sports Faculty in Montpellier and Euromov implement adapted physical activity programmes (the “posture, balance, motor skills, and education for health” method: Méthode Posture-équilibration-motricité et education pour la santé)(PEM-ES), available in the main cities of France (Activité physique adaptée à la santé: APA, C2) (http://www.apa-sante.f) 8- Care pathways for stroke (A1, A2, A3, B3, C2, D4) Falls are one of the most common medical complications after stroke, with a reported incidence of up to 70% in the first year post-stroke (28). The best medical approach to manage this potentially life-threatening emergency and its long-term functional consequences is early intravenous or intra-arterial infusion of thrombolytic agents and the admission to a Stroke Unit. In the Stroke Unit, a multidisciplinary team will integrate and coordinate the different aspects of acute stroke management such as maintaining cerebral homeostasis, cardio-vascular monitoring, early mobilisation and neuro-rehabilitation. In LR, a care pathway for the prevention and management of stroke was initiated in 2010 (Plan National d’Action AVC 2010-2014, http://www.sante.gouv.fr). In the first phase of the plan, 10 actions were initiated in LR including information and prevention, care pathways coordination and coaching. In the region, two different situations exist and can be compared: 1. The coastal region (2.6 million inhabitants) has 5 integrated neuro-vascular units (stroke units). Each stroke patient is urgently (within the hour) sent to a stroke unit. The patient receives immediate care by a multidisciplinary team. An emergency MRI is carried out and a decision is made with regards to the administration of thrombolytic treatment. A rehabilitation programme is then set up. The stroke unit within the Montpellier University hospital is equipped with interventional neuroradiology for thrombectomy. 2. The Lozère department (remote rural area, 80,000 inhabitants) does not have a stroke unit. The general hospital is equipped with an MRI scanner that is always available for emergencies, as well as emergency physicians adequately trained in thrombolysis. Tele-health is used to enable neurologists from the Montpellier University Hospital to make urgent medical decisions. This procedure reduces post-stroke disability and complications as much as possible. Prevention and rehabilitation programmes are significantly linked to the risk of post-stroke falls. A dual approach has been initiated: stroke units in emergency departments and tele-health-based emergency in Lozère.The first results indicate 3 positive elements: (i) better knowledge of the warning signs of a stroke and of how surrounding people should react, (ii) earlier and better care in the stroke unit, (iii) better adapted rehabilitation programmes. This “Hit hard and fast” method is managing to reduce the number of people who suffer from post-stroke disability in LR. 9- Interactions at the local, regional, national and European levels Public partnership The Living Lab includes most public institutions of the Languedoc Roussillon which have an interest in a falls prevention initiative (Table 4). All of these institutions are linked with social workers through municipal social and welfare community centres (CCAS) as well as the ARS and CARSAT.

Industrial competitiveness is managed through Eurobiomed (French government ""competitive cluster” (www.eurobiomed.org)) and the silver economy (I2ML). The Eurobiomed biotechnology cluster federates 216 members, mainly SMEs, 5 universities, higher education establishments, 400 research laboratories, 4 university hospitals and pharmaceutical groups. In Europe, spa therapy, largely prescribed for osteoarthritis, particularly for the knees, was found to be effective (29, 30). The Balaruc-les-Bains Thermal Baths offer a wide range of water, steam, and mud treatments for rheumatologic diseases. It is the third largest thermal spa in France, and does its utmost to welcome over 45,000 patients each year. Balaruc is developing a specific falls prevention initiative. AxLR is a technology transfer acceleration company. It specialises in helping innovative projects derived from academic research reach maturity and commercialization. This single window access increases the efficiency of the innovation system and the competiveness of the industry (http://www.axlr.com). CR2I (Centre for research and industrial innovation) aims to produce closer medical diagnostics and new technologies. Supported by the cluster Eurobiomed, CR2i is dedicated to ICT and the health sector, bringing together actors in diagnosis, therapy and new technologies. CR2i develops and industrializes new solutions for health diagnosis and telemedicine, particularly in the areas of personalized medicine, ambulatory medicine and telemedicine. (http://www.eurobiomed.org/.pdf) Patients’ organisations ETAPE serves as a mediator between users and professionals from the medico-social sector whose mission is to help people who are losing their autonomy to stay at home. ETAPE collaborates with the main patients’ organisations in the LR region: Association des Paralysés de France, Association France Alzheimer, Association Française de Myopathie Téléthon, la Fédération des Aveugles et Amblyopes de France, Comité de Liaison et de Coordination des Personnes Handicapés de l’Hérault, le CLIC Maillage, le Groupement pour l’Insertion des Personnes Handicapées Physiques du Languedoc Roussillon, association France Parkinson, Cap Horizon (blindness). French national partnership I2ML is a founder member of the National Living Labs forum in health and independent living and represents the Living Lab Falls MACVIA-LR. I2ML is also a member of CNR Santé. The Living Lab Falls-MACVIA-LR collaborates with different French teams in different educational and research projects in pre-frail and frail older people with the aim to prevent falls. The Living Lab Falls-MACVIA-LR participates in the French group that has been assembled by INSERM to write guidelines on “physical activity and falls” and in the falls interest group (created in 2014 within the French Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology SFGG). Guidelines and teaching programmes are provided at the annual meeting of the SFGG. European Union MACVIA-LR is one of the reference sites of the EIP on AHA (3). It participates in the Prevention of Falls Network for Dissemination (ProFouND), a new EC-funded initiative dedicated to the dissemination and implementation of best practices in falls prevention across Europe (http://profound.eu.com).

Computational models of body organs are supported by characterization of the mechanical behaviour of tissues, including the effects of ageing. Such models support clinical decisions regarding rehabilitation or replacement, considered key-enablers of significant improvements and advanced technological solutions in the Health and Wellbeing of the population. 2. Health and related indoor environmental conditions in the building stock. Elderly spend most of their time indoors (9-10 times more than outdoor). Thus, comfort and air quality become of the highest importance.

Falls have a multifactorial origin, however most of the fall risk factors are amendable by implementing falls prevention programs based on improving strength and balance and modifying behaviours. Even though, fall risk screenings and the implementation of such falls prevention programs are rarely part of the elder’s routine. In this project the creation of the FallSensing system is proposed. This system will enable the evaluation of multiple fall risk factors and the implementation of fall prevention exercise plans, while providing feedback during the execution of the exercises. The data collected during fall risk evaluations or performance of falls prevention exercises are stored in a medical record platform, so that the healthcare professionals and caregivers may follow the evolution of the user and define personalized exercise plans. These personalized exercise plans may also be automatically recommended by the system promoting a continuous adaptation of the intervention plans to the evolution of the user. FallSensing system is intended to create a new technological solution to enable screening and monitoring of the risk of falling and the implementation of falls prevention programs in the elderly population.

We have all had grandparents struggling to climb stairs, who really just needed the security and support of a helping hand to continue climb stairs safely themselves. After having made simple concepts and discussing them with users and health professionals, we started building the first prototypes of the AssiStep, mimicking how we used to assist our own grandparents. We strongly believe in the importance of living an active everyday life, and for the group of mobility impaired, the stairs are one of the best sources of activity – to stop using them should be a last resort.

This concept has been defined as “a transparent, interactive process by which societal actors and innovators become mutually responsive to each other with a view to the (ethical) acceptability, sustainability and societal desirability of the innovation process and its marketable products (in order to allow a proper embedding of scientific and technological advances in our society)”(von Schomberg, 2012). The current configuration of the concept in Europe considers six key areas (European Commission, 2014) that integrate the demands observed by the D4 Action Groups and pinpoints new ones that should be included in the dialogue among the different action groups of the EIP AHA such as Governance, Public Engagement, Gender Equality, Science Education, Open Science/Open access and Ethics. With this framework in mind this synergy pretends to identify how the organizations in the EIP on AHA are contributing to each of those 6 key areas and to create a database of promising practices in responsible research and innovation for active and healthy ageing. This database, which will be integrated in the EIP AHA repository of innovative practices, will serve to identify the current state of the actions and initiatives of RRI in AHA and to provide a roadmap of the future development of the concept.";"";"";"Irene Monsonís Payá";"irene.monsonis@uv.es";"Friday, 1 January, 2016";"Sunday, 31 December, 2017";"In the call for commitments of the EIP on AHA launched by the European Commission at the beginning of 2016, 135 organizations expressed that their commitment was somehow related with the RRI & AHA synergy. Later on, during the months of June and July 2016 an online questionnaire was sent to those organizations to gather information about practices undertaken by them which could be considered relevant in the field of RRI. A total of 39 practices were submitted via the online questionnaire by 35 organizations. In order to assure the correct implementation and sustainability in time of the collection of promising practices during the months of October and November several Skype meetings have been organized with the team of the PROEIPAHA. As a result, a procedure to integrate the RRI practices in the EIP AHA repository of innovative practices have been outlined. Before the end of the year, we will inform to the organizations which submitted good practices about the need of including further details about them on the repository. Therefore, the practices submitted will be evaluated according with the general procedure of the repository which has been updated to include a category on Responsible Research and Innovation. This will allow us to identify the current state of the actions and initiatives related with the concept of RRI in the framework of Active and Healthy Ageing and to identify potential partners to identify the more urgent actions to be undertaken on RRI for AHA.
