TraCeDem - our research
TraCeDem’s research targets prevention and care areas addressed via two methods, i.e. assessing needs and planning, plus implementing and evaluating interventions, and structured into six connected work packages on epidemiology, care needs, coordination, prevention, treatment, safety, and digital and social care solutions.
TraCeDem's scientific work is organised in three areas:
- primary and early detection
- secondary to quaternary prevention
- care organisation and welfare technologies
These cover the full range of care, from identifying risks to long-term support. There are two ways these domains are approached: first, we look at what the needs are and make a plan for how to help; and second, we put that plan into action and see if it works. All these projects are connected to each other.
Together, they form six interconnected work packages (WP1–WP6) spanning epidemiology, care needs, coordination, prevention interventions, treatment and safety, and digital and social care solutions.
