Approximately 21 million infants per month need palliative care and more than 8 million specialized care during their lifetime and at the end of life. (namely in Europe 170,000). Palliakid is a European project with the objective of providing access to pal·liative cures for infants facing advanced, complex or end-of-life illnesses, with the objective of improving their well-being and quality of life. The prior IDIAPJGol connection is the basis of this project where the HEXCOM study will be developed in order to evaluate the complexity of pal·liative cures in adults. One of the main objectives of this project is the adaptation of this project to the pediatric environment.
Palliakid aims to improve the early identification of patients with the complex needs of pal·liative cures through the creation of predictive models. These models will differentiate patients according to their level of complexion, allowing for rapid, comprehensive and planned assistance. The project will reinforce the involvement of patients and their families, with the intention of developing instruments for a more precise assessment of their needs and expectations, facilitating the interaction and involvement of the entire health team. IDIAP Jordi Gol i Gurina is part of the consortium format with 17 partners from 12 European countries.
