As the population of elderly grows, the capacity of the care sector to meet their needs is unfortunately diminishing. Emerging technologies like robot assistants offer solutions to many challenges in the care sector. We develop real life scenarios for deployment of telehealth robotic technologies to complement and enhance caregivers’ skills, train staff and make policy recommendations to ensure happy aging. HAPPY-U offers a comprehensive framework for building future digital competences in elderly care, including a model for transferability and cross-sectoral adaptability. The project will offer robust scientific evidence for improving by means of education the acceptance of relevant telehealth and telecare robotic technologies. It emphasizes the importance of co-designing interventions together with stakeholders, development of targeted education programs, analyzing risks and gains from implementing contextually adaptable policies within the sector. To achieve these goals, HAPPY-U engages 12 partners from Estonia, Germany, Portugal, Austria and Spain. The scenarios will be piloted in Estonia, Germany, Portugal and Austria, involving stakeholders from the higher and vocational education, care providers, public and business sector. Evaluation Summary Report Evaluation Result Total score: 13.50 (Threshold: 10 ) Criterion 1 - Excellence 101177588/HAPPY-U-11/06/2024-12:45:28 1/4  Associated with document Ref. Ares(2024)4200472 - 11/06/2024 Score: 4.50 (Threshold: 3 / 5.00 , Weight: - ) The following aspects will be taken into account, to the extent that the proposed work corresponds to the description in the work programme: - Clarity and pertinence of the project’s objectives, and the extent to which the proposed work is ambitious and goes beyond the state of the art. The primary focus of the proposed project is to co-design contextually adaptive robotic telecare interventions in the elderly healthcare sector and, as such, it corresponds to the description of the topic call and work programme. A strength of the proposal is that there are clear and well-defined objectives, each presented alongside corresponding work plan tasks and deliverables, and incorporating suitable measures to evaluate outcomes. The objectives are also linked to state of the art. The proposal represents current state of the art in that it compliments existing initiatives through a substantial experiment including a substantial number of elderly people and caregivers in many countries. The plan to deploy, monitor and evaluate the working relationship between humans and technology in a real-world setting, rather than in simulated lab environment, is a clear strength, but not a unique one, and as such the proposal does not sufficiently justify progress – beyond – state of the art. This is a shortcoming. - Soundness of the proposed methodology, including the underlying concepts, models, assumptions, inter-disciplinary approaches, appropriate consideration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content, and the quality of open science practices, including sharing and management of research outputs and engagement of citizens, civil society and end users where appropriate. The proposed methodology is comprehensive and coherent. The methodology is organised around an open innovation model with a multiple-cycle participatory design approach incorporating scenario-lines, with each cycle well described and argued, with clear linkage to the tasks of the work plan. The robustness of the initially envisaged AI-systems has been sufficiently outlined. The approach is suitably interdisciplinary and incorporates qualitative and quantitative methods. A strength to the methodology is the co-design and involvement of end-users and stakeholders in the process. Gender aspects are satisfactorily considered in the methodology. Open science practices and research output management are also sufficiently considered. Criterion 2 - Impact Score: 4.50 (Threshold: 3 / 5.00 , Weight: - ) The following aspects will be taken into account, to the extent that the proposed work corresponds to the description in the work programme: - Credibility of the pathways to achieve the expected outcomes and impacts specified in the work programme, and the likely scale and significance of the contributions from the project. Expected impacts are in line with those given in the work programme, and there are credible pathways to develop and deploy new technologies. The pathways to achieving these impacts are mostly credible and presented with a good level of detail. The integral involvement of stakeholders combined with a focus on creating training materials strengthen opportunities to create impact well beyond the participating consortium partners and countries, and will contribute to creating significant impact for the care sector throughout Europe. The potential impact on policy-makers is however not sufficiently demonstrated, a shortcoming. Barriers for overcoming obstacles to impact are identified and overall convincingly described. - Suitability and quality of the measures to maximise expected outcomes and impacts, as set out in the dissemination and exploitation plan, including communication activities. The intended amplification-of-impact measures are ambitious but appropriate and of high quality. Dissemination, communication and exploitation are inherently built into the work programme by design and include outreach activities across several countries with significant numbers of end users and other interested parties. The dissemination plan is mostly convincing and identifies appropriate key target groups, relevant tools, channels, activities and key performance indicators. There are minor shortcomings, for example target publications are insufficiently specified. Strengths of the approach are that the consortium provides a solid network for dissemination to relevant stakeholders, and that the design and delivery of training to healthcare professionals will provide significant impact. A shortcoming is that exploitation activities are described largely at a generic level, and do not sufficiently build on the project’s activities or expected contributions. The strategy for the management of the intellectual property is good. Adequate protection measures for the exploitation of the outcomes and assets to be produced are identified. Criterion 3 - Quality and efficiency of the implementation Score: 4.50 (Threshold: 3 / 5.00 , Weight: - ) 101177588/HAPPY-U-11/06/2024-12:45:28 2/4  Associated with document Ref. Ares(2024)4200472 - 11/06/2024 The following aspects will be taken into account, to the extent that the proposed work corresponds to the description in the work programme: - Quality and effectiveness of the work plan, assessment of risks, and appropriateness of the effort assigned to work packages, and the resources overall. The work plan is convincing and coherent. It comprises the necessary tasks to achieve the project’s objectives. The work plan tasks are well identified and described, as well as logically sequenced, and include a good description of task interdependencies. Milestones and deliverables are appropriately identified and scheduled. The assessment of critical risks, including inherent and project-specific risks, is convincing and well-addressed, although critical risk assessment takes place too late in the project to be fully effective. This is a minor shortcoming. Resources are appropriately allocated in relation to the defined work packages, tasks and activities. - Capacity and role of each participant, and the extent to which the consortium as a whole brings together the necessary expertise. The competencies of individual consortium partners match well with allocated tasks and combined the consortium is well positioned and holds the necessary complimentary experience to undertake the project activities and deliver the expected outcomes. There is a good contribution from experts with a relevant background in the scientific and professional domains required in the project. The partners demonstrate, overall, good operational capacity and have access to the necessary critical infrastructure required to deliver the project. Whilst in general the consortium and individual partners demonstrate the necessary expertise to deliver the project there are some shortcomings. No partner has been convincingly designated on teacher education, and details about some partners are insufficient in relation to named researchers and roles.
