What is DREAMING about? The quest for a sustainable ICT-based elderly care solution The systematic building of evidence to sustain the business case for the large-scale deployment of the solution The permanent search for sources of funding and new business models which can accelerate the roll- out of innovative elderly care services 3

The DREAMING partners are seriously committed Friuli Venezia Giulia: the DREAMING services will continue to be provided, as foreseen in the Grant Agreement, to the current and a few additional users while decisions are made on the basis of the outcome of the trials Aragon: new layers of population have been included in the service in addition to those who participated to the trials: Dependent elderly people Older people living in elderly residences South Denmark: new independent older people have been offered the services using an up-to-date technological platform 6
The DREAMING partners are seriously committed Germany: on-going negotiation with health insurers to include telemonitoring among the reimbursable items of service and addition activities for increasing the evidence base (RENEWING HEALTH & United4Health) Sweden: waiting for some essential components provided at national level for integration with main care information systems to be put in place not to duplicate investments and create new information silos Estonia: reflection underway to evolve towards a service to offered in Estonia and abroad to reach economies of scale and sustainability 7
