Two associate partner have recently joined Trans2Care:
• ASS1, i.e. Azienda per i Servizi Sanitari (Health Care Agency) n.1 of Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia (acting according to the guidelines of W.H.O. health promoting hospitals & health services)
• LILT, i.e. Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori (Italian League for the Fight against Cancer), Trieste's branch (cancer prevention)
Trans2Care partners share and integrate their expertise in research, education, healthcare and technology transfer.
Trans2Care aims at establishing a permanent, bi-directional knowledge transfer among the project partners, industry and other stakeholders, so to establish an environment generating innovative products and services for the public healthcare system. In particular, the project addresses questions about prevention, diagnosis and treatment of widespread diseases.
The most urgent societal need is to develop approaches for healthy ageing, which may be either “soft” or “hard”.
Soft approaches consist in exploiting and transferring scientific knowledge about healthy life styles to the general population, from the youth on. To this purpose, Trans2Care acts in partnership with ASS1 and LILT.
Hard approaches consist in identifying and developing innovative services and products for the healthcare system, to be developed in interaction with industry stakeholders. To this purpose, Trans2Care finds support in Enterprise Network Europe, at the level of local contact points.
Given the importance of food choices, food quality and type of diets in reducing the incidence of most common chronic human diseases, Trans2Care is focussing in strengthening and exploiting its knowledge base in the field of diet- and food-related diseases.
