Frailty and cognitive impairment

This line includes projects focused on frailty, on the association between cognitive function, cognitive impairment and physical function, or on exercise and physical activity, either from a clinical, pathophysiological or epidemiological viewpoint, as well as focused on the implementation, in the real context, of new models of care.


Ongoing projects: MEDPHOTAGE (non-invasive measurement of blood flow and cerebral metabolism during cognitive and physical tests, funded by the Carlos III Institute, DTS, in collaboration with the Institute of Photonic Sciences - ICFO), DIALCAT (diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, multi-centric observational and intervention project, funded by RIS3Cat-FEDER), + ÀGIL Bcn (implementation of a complex community intervention to prevent disability in frail older people, self-financed in collaboration with the Catalan Health Institute - ICS).

Transitions of care and readmissions.

This line includes projects of translational research and organizational innovation closely linked to geriatric care, which aim to promote safe care transitions, as well as the adherence to different treatments and the recovery of an active life at home, with the ultimate goal of reducing complications and the rate of hospital readmissions.


Ongoing projects: TransitionA (complex person-centered non-pharmacological intervention, aimed to empower the persons before the transition and to prepare them for return home), Comprehensive Geriatric Hospital at Home (both with own funding).
