Project Description
“Strengtheningthe eHealth literacy skills of older adults” (2025-1-EE01-KA210-ADU-000356010)
E-HEALTH4SENIORS is a European cooperation project designed to strengthen the digital health literacy of adults aged 55+, with a strong focus on seniors living in rural and remote areas. As healthcare systems across Europe rapidly digitalise, many older people face significant barriers in accessing online medical services, telemedicine platforms, and digital health information. Implemented within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, the project responds to these challenges by empowering older adults to confidently, safely, and independently use digital health tools for self-management, prevention, and everyday health-related decisions, ultimately supporting active ageing, wellbeing, and social inclusion.
To achieve these goals, E-HEALTH4SENIORS develops a comprehensive and accessible eHealth Literacy Toolkit addressed both to seniors and to adult educators who work with older learners. The Toolkit is complemented by community workshops, train-the-trainer sessions, and national training activities, creating supportive and age-friendly learning environments where seniors and educators learn together. Older adults acquire practical skills in areas such as telemedicine, digital health applications, data protection, and assistive technologies, while educators strengthen their capacity to deliver inclusive, learner-centred digital health education. Through free, multilingual, and open-access resources, the project ensures long-term impact, contributing to reduced digital exclusion, stronger community resilience, and equal access to digital healthcare services for older citizens across Europe.
