SUPER Project

suPer is a European collective project funded under the framework of the Erasmus+ programme. The suPer project aims to provide digital multidisciplinary training in the field of Parkinson’s disease.

suPer project is aimed to build knowledge, competences and skills of multidisciplinary care team members on the Integrated Care (IC) approach for Parkinson Disease (PD) through a co-designed training course and e-learning platform.

The Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is one of the most complex and varied pathologies and its treatment is difficult. Its neurodegenerative nature means that individuals living with the disease and their loved ones have to cope continuously and over many years with different symptoms and difficulties associated. In this sense, it is crucial for members of a multidisciplinary care team of Parkinson to have the most detailed knowledge as possible of the pathology, of the advances in its treatment and of the applications that new technologies make possible in this field.

The suPer project aims to provide a digital multidisciplinary training to effectively face:

The expected increase of people with PD (estimated high prevalence),
The progress of PD (due to ageing population) which has an economic impact on the health and care systems, society, professionals, caregivers and people with PD themselves,
The lack of knowledge on Integrated Care models adapted to the real needs of People with PD and their relatives/caregivers, through providing training for members of multidisciplinary teams,
The People with PD’s poor digital skills related to health and care management which has a direct link with their autonomy.
