Description: The World Health Organization estimates that over 10 million people in Europe live with dementia, and this number is expected to double by 2030. According to the European Brain Council, the number of people with Parkinson’s disease in Europe, currently at 1.2 million, is also projected to rise. These patients often suffer from additional conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. WHO also reports that cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of premature death and disability in Europe and worldwide.

TeNDER – affecTive basEd iNtegrateD carE for betteR Quality of Life is a multidisciplinary project funded by the European Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. From late 2019 until April 2023, TeNDER developed an integrated care model for patients with Alzheimer’s disease (and other forms of dementia), Parkinson’s disease, and cardiovascular diseases, along with related comorbidities.

International pilot testing of the TeNDER system for improving the quality of life of patients includes the use of micro-tools for recognizing human emotions, personalizing the system according to the patient’s needs, and coordinating clinical and administrative patient information.
