Context-Care
Our Aim
Context-Care will co-produce a person- and place-centred CBIC meso-level ecosystem model, which accounts for dissonance and digital deficits, and advances the equity of ageing-in-place for community-dwelling older people in peripheral places.
Responds to and informs: the HSE West/North-West’s assessment of existing provision, and development of new eco-system approaches, and the National Clinical Programme for Older Persons’ (NCPOP) involvement in ICPOP population planning and implementation in peripheries.

Objectives
Context-Care has four objectives. These are:
- Identify digitally-supported CBIC care-mix solutions that address the needs of diverse older populations and carers in peripheries, ensuring equitable, balanced person-centred delivery.
- Identify digitally-supported cooperative governance solutions that bolster the totality of an CBIC ecosystem in peripheral settings, regulating its effective and fair operation.
- Identify digitally-supported workforce solutions that build a sustainable informal and paid care workforce in peripheries, fostering integrative practices and equal opportunities for all.
- Identify a multi-stakeholder democratic process, as a transferable participatory development platform, to support the co-production of an CBIC ecosystem model for peripheral contexts.
