Abstract

ICT enabled Service Integration for Independent Living (INDEPENDENT) is an ICT – PSP project funded under objective 1.3 ICT for ageing well / independent living. Work has started as early as February 2010 and expected to finish after 3 years. INDIPENDENT will address current limitations of telehealth and telecare platforms to serve needs for support and delivery of support to the elderly which is not limited to a single sector (healthcare or social care) but spans the two sectors and empowers informal carers and the third sector to participate in delivery of support. This paper will discuss the Greek experience when drafting pilot scenarios that fit into the project’s goals.
