The SUPER project aims to provide digital multidisciplinary training to address several challenges related to Parkinson's disease (PD), including the expected increase in prevalence, the impact of PD progression on health and care systems, the lack of knowledge on Integrated Care (IC) models, and the poor digital skills of people with Parkinson's (PPD). By improving the knowledge and skills of multidisciplinary care teams, the project seeks to enhance the quality of life and autonomy of PPD and their families, while also increasing the effectiveness of care delivery. Specific objectives include designing a co-validated training course and e-learning platform, increasing knowledge on IC models, encouraging collaborative work among professionals and PPD, promoting empowerment and digital skills among PPD and their families, and raising awareness among stakeholders. Ultimately, the project aims to have a positive impact on the lives of those affected by PD and improve the capabilities of care providers across the EU.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is possibly one of the most complex and varied pathologies, which difficult their treatment. 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 multidisciplinary care team of Parkinson to have the most detailed knowledge of the pathology as possible, of the advances in its treatment and the applications that new technologies make possible in this field. Therefore, "Improving the availability of high-quality learning opportunities for adults" was a deeply thought-out choice and aimed to reflect the need to provide professionals with quality knowledge and skills in the field of PD and to facilitate their access by taking advantage of the opportunity that new teaching methods (e-learning) offer, thus being able to reach a wider and more diverse audience (different countries, cultures...).
