HENKO NET
Description
HENKO NET (Innovation and Digital Technologies for Social and Healthcare Palliative Care at Home) is a transnational cooperation project that seeks to transform the social and healthcare services provided to people with palliative care needs through innovation and the use of digital technologies. The project aims to strengthen palliative care systems, facilitating the continued provision of support at home, especially in rural areas, and promoting new organizational models based on collaboration, knowledge sharing, and person-centered care. One of its main developments is the creation of an artificial intelligence-based platform for the early detection of palliative care needs and the anticipation of medical or social events that may affect the well-being of those receiving care.
