The aim of the PAGE project is to develop, prototype and evaluate a platform for the integration of assistive health technologies in health networks. On the one hand, the focus is on the use and technical integration of current assistive technologies to support the daily needs of older people with the aim of maintaining their independence in their familiar home environment for as long as possible. On the other hand, the focus is on the analysis and further development of the value chain of medical service providers, companies in the health industry and other service providers. The following sub-goals are addressed for this purpose:

• Definition of demand-oriented bundles of assisting health technologies and health services
• Integration of the service bundles into innovative care models with the support of trans-institutional information system architectures.
• Development of integration profiles of service providers in health networks as well as IT and AGT providers
• Development of business models for the operation of an intermediary platform for the integration of assistive health technologies in health networks

The project is being carried out between 01/2009 and 06/2012 at the OFFIS Health Department. It is funded by the BMBF (Projektträger DLR).The official website of the project can be found at PAGE.
