ADLIFE is a EU-funded project developing innovative digital health solutions to support healthcare planning and care delivery for patients with advanced chronic conditions (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or heart disease failure). ADLIFE's technology innovations will be deployed, used and evaluated in seven healthcare environments in Spain, the UK, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and Israel. ADLIFE intends to impact three stakeholders: patients, informal caregivers and health professionals, and consequently across the seven participating international healthcare systems. ADLIFE intervention aims at slowing down the patients' functional deterioration, ensuring their quality of life and promoting shared decision making, reducing the caregiver burden, and improving the health professional working conditions; all this under the scenario of an improvement in the healthcare resource use. The research aims to prove whether the ADLIFE intervention can deliver appropriate targeted and timely care for patients with severe long-term diseases when applied in real-life settings. Based on a mixed-method approach, the study will provide scientific evidence based on the effectiveness, socio-economic, implementation and technology acceptance assessment of ADLIFE compared to the standard of care (SoC) to provide scientific evidence supporting the funding decision-making of the ADLIFE intervention.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
