A new European research project, CarePath, has launched to support people living with long-term health conditions in managing their treatment effectively and comfortably. By offering personalised tools and resources, the project aims to improve health, wellbeing, and overall quality of life.
Thanks to advances in healthcare, many chronic conditions can now be managed successfully with medication. However, research shows that many people find it difficult to continue their treatment over time, often due to a lack of support, social stigma, or financial pressures.
A New IHI-Funded Project ‘CarePath’ Supports People with Chronic Conditions in Managing Their Treatment
CarePath will address these challenges by developing a flexible, ready-to-use toolbox designed to help individuals manage their treatments in ways that fit their needs and lifestyles. The project will focus on three common conditions—obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—and work across both primary care (such as GPs and community pharmacists) and secondary care (like hospitals and clinics).
