The iLIVE Project, Live well - die well

The iLIVE Project, Live well - die well

The international research project “The iLIVE Project, Live well - die well” aims to increase our knowledge and provide applicable policy advice on palliative care in Europe. In this project the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two innovative interventions in end-of-life care will be evaluated. Its objective is to develop and evaluate a digital clinical tool to optimize medication management to relieve symptoms that occur at the end of life, and an international volunteer Programme to support patients dying in the hospital and their families. iLIVE will also provide in-depth understanding of the concerns, expectations and preferences of dying patients and their caregivers and deliver the first Core Outcome set for care of the dying. Judit Simon as Principal Investigator and team, Claudia Fischer as Lead researcher and Michael Berger, from the Department of Health Economics at the Medical University of Vienna's Center for Public Health investigate the cost-effectiveness of these tested interventions as part of a dedicated work package within the iLIVE consortium.
