AKTIVE由Sue Yeandle教授指导，由四个合作伙伴开发：利兹大学的CIRCLE（牵头伙伴）;牛津人口老龄化研究所（牛津大学）;通斯托尔医疗保健（英国）有限公司;这些合作伙伴正在与更广泛的AKTIVE联盟合作，包括来自医学，设计，风险，残疾和人体工程学的专家，在两个地方当局和代表老年人、护理人员和护理工作者的机构中设立远程护理专员。它的资助时间为2011年6月至2014年5月，调查：·使用远程护理的老年人（特别是痴呆症患者和/或易受福尔斯影响的老年人）的特征是什么？远程医疗设备如何在私人家庭中使用？无报酬的护理人员如何以及以何种方式从老年人家中使用远程护理中受益？·个人、家庭和服务提供商采用远程护理的障碍是什么？·远程护理是否为护理工作者、提供者和专员提供了改善工作设计和质量的机会？·远程医疗市场的主要特点是什么？可以做些什么来加强创新和提高接受率？

AKTIVE is directed by Professor Sue Yeandle and is being developed by four partners: CIRCLE at the University of Leeds (lead partner); the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing (Oxford University); Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd; and Inventya Solutions Ltd. These partners are working with a wider AKTIVE consortium, includingexperts from medicine, design, risk, disability and ergonomics, telecare commissioners in two local authorities and agencies representing older people, carers and care workers. It is funded from June 2011-May 2014 and investigates:• What are the characteristics of older people (especially with dementia and / or susceptibility to falls) who use telecare?• How is telecare equipment used in private homes?• How and in what ways can unpaid carers benefit from the use of telecare in older peoples' homes?• What are the barriers to the adoption of telecare for individuals, families and service providers?• Does telecare offer opportunities to improve job design and quality for care workers, providers and commissioners?• What are the main features of the market for telecare and what can be done to enhance innovation and improve take-up?
