The MPower project aims to empower older individuals to live independently while reducing unnecessary use of primary care services through self-management supported by e-health interventions. It targets the significant impact of long-term conditions on both patient quality of life and societal costs, with a focus on improving healthcare outcomes. The initiative promotes connected, personalized care and provides resources such as wellbeing action plans and shared learning opportunities.
