Two intense days in Bragança with the STARS-Health consortium!


On 19 and 20 October, partners from the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal, Spain and the Czech Republic met at Polytechnic University of Bragança to move the project forward.


STARS-Health aims to help older adults with lower health and digital literacy understand and use digital health services. We are doing this by designing a Luma app and ecosystem and by creating training for formal and informal caregivers, so that care is more integrated and health inequalities between older adults are reduced.


What we worked on:

- Blended care: reviewing the test-phase results and the adjustments ahead (WP4)

- Caregiver training: a co-design workshop on “Working and Deciding Together” (WP5)

- Impact, dissemination and publication strategy (WP2)

- The road towards the final results (WP3)

- A meeting of our advisory board


Thank you to everyone who travelled to Bragança and to those who joined online. Great discussions, and a warm welcome from the whole UPB team.
