The HITTS project will develop 1 pilot experience of the Strategy developed in WG2 with different thematic focus in each country (1 in Spain, 1 in France and 1 in Portugal). All pilot actions will share common and other distinctive elements, depending on the characteristics of each territory, its potential and needs and the existence of a different national reference framework. Each territory will test common elements of the Strategy necessary to achieve the desired socio-economic development. In this regard, the common part tested by all partners will include the development of a participatory governance system (A3.1); design of an action plan translating the strategy into concrete measures (A3.2) and training for local actors (A3.3). The thematic pilot experience will be different in each territory: — Spain (PP1, PP2, PP3) – Readaptive Wealth Use Approach: promote, condition and adapt cultural and natural heritage to ensure universal access to certain identified elements or goods. — France (PP7, PP8) – Mobilisation of actors for the creation of tourist, artistic and cultural activities for the revitalisation of the cultural and natural heritage of a common protected area. — Portugal (PP5,PP6) – Readaptation of the natural heritage of the lizards and conditioning of the hiking routes in Montalegre. These actions will be very important for HITTS, as key and common elements of the strategy can be tested in real environments with their uniqueness and themes. The results obtained will serve to collect improvements to be integrated into the Strategy based on the aspects tested in the SUDOE territory.
The WG3 related to specific objective 3 will converge towards the experimentation of pilot actions in the areas of the project. These actions will allow the concrete implementation of new devices (such as services, equipment, tools, methods or approaches) derived from a joint reflection or will demonstrate the feasibility/transferability of existing solutions to a specific territory/sector.
Pilot test of the AI-based predictive platform “Henko” and innovative digital technologies with end-users of palliative care (A3.2): people with palliative care needs (N=120), family members (N=50), professionals (N=25). (1 pilot action implemented in the 7 care beneficiaries, INTRAS, GSS, HEALTH, DIPBI, CHUB, PM, IPO).
Pilot or mini-pilots of the “Tool Box” (A3.3): Brief experimentation of innovative technologies or services in the market or with sufficient technological maturity, as well as process innovations or care models. “Soft evaluation” methodology. (1 pilot action implemented in the 7 care beneficiaries, INTRAS, GSS, HEALTH, DIPBI, CHUB, PM, IPO).
Conduct of a randomised multicenter clinical trial with intervention and control group in 300 elderly patients of the Geriatric/Internal Medicine service in the hospitals participating in the project. The hospital care model of the HUN Geriatrics Service has demonstrated, through scientific evidence, the prevention of disability generated during hospitalisation in 60 % of patients who perform the individualised exercise program. Starting from the basis of this model, and seeking its optimisation, an innovative hospital care model will be developed jointly that will be implemented in HDFF (Portugal), CHU-T (France), SAAS (Andorra) and HUN (Spain). The design of the clinical trial will take into account the needs, possibilities and characteristics of each hospital for its implementation and subsequent follow-up after 3 months of the intervention, in order to assess the adherence and the results of the practice of physical exercise and adoption of healthy habits. This pilot activity will begin with the joint elaboration of the protocol, and, after its approval by the different Ethical Committees, the recruitment of patients in the 3 hospitals that will be randomised through a blind procedure (month 7) will begin. The duration of the clinical trial is estimated at 2 years, and once completed, the results analysis will be carried out. The results of this pilot activity tested in the three hospitals will allow the development of a solution that can be easily transferred to other hospitals in different territories. The implementation of this pilot activity in three hospitals in different countries and regions brings added value to the results, since it includes a heterogeneous population with different social and economic characteristics of the SUDOE territory and with different health systems, increasing the impact of the results at a scientific level with social and political impact.
Evaluation of each pilot case, analysing its social impact, the functioning of the business unit and the sustainability of each pilot. Conclusions will be drawn that may favor its future replication and a comparative economic analysis of the expenditure in each pilot versus the savings induced in public health services will be made. This savings will serve to look for public-private solutions that allow the replication of pilot experiences.
Joint design and definition of a pilot project for proof of the concept of dynamisation hubs and stops on the CaS Road. The pilot will be developed in 5 territories: 1 in Portugal, 3 in Spain and 1 in France, to ensure the representativeness of the Sudoe collaboration area. Dynamisation Hub: Working group to carry out, among others, the mapping of key actors, the involvement of key stakeholders, a strategic analysis, the development of methodology and work plan, the measurement of impact, the collection of lessons learned and replicability models to other territories. The stop on the Camino will be a physical and virtual place where you can taste, acquire and send typical agri-food products, artisans and creatives. It will offer cultural, tourist, environmental and leisure information in a physical and virtual way, with connections to the network, and collect evaluations of products and services. It will serve as a meeting point between the inhabitants of rural areas and visitors and users of the roads. This pilot project will be based on the collaboratively designed common strategy and will monitor its simultaneous implementation in the 5 selected territories (A3.2 and A3.3). The information obtained from this development will serve to continuously improve the final version of the common strategy and action plan.
The different pilot experiences are structured into three groups, each identified with a theme and leading to a solution: The first group (digitalisation) will generate a solution in terms of digitisation of the agrotourism experience (demand) and improvement of business competitiveness (offer). — New digital technologies (mixed and augmented reality) for the creation of immersive agrotouristic experiences (CDA24). — Intelligent data management system (Smart Data) for the improvement of the competitiveness of agrotourism companies from the improvement of customer knowledge and the subsequent segmentation of products and tourism experiences. The second group (environmental sustainability) will generate a solution of valorisation and differentiation of agrotouristic products with low environmental impact: — Creation of tourist itineraries aimed at sustainable development and promotion of km0 agri-food products (CRTLO) and connection with environmental protection figures (products of the Biosphere Reserve, in the case of the RBOV). — Creation of a digital product passport with information on environmental footprint, origin, quality certifications, etc. (CIM VDL). The third group (segmentation of audiences) will generate innovative experiences adapted to different audiences particularly suitable for the agrotourism sector: — Agrotourism experiences designed for children and youth audiences of urban origin (F. Ávila), including collaboration in traditional trades. — Valuation of agri-food products among hikers (CDA09), both in destination (Ariège) and origin (concept store in Toulouse). — Design of agrotourism circuits for urban family audiences (SODEBUR), including intangible heritage associated with traditional rural life. The project therefore plans to develop a total of three pilot actions within the framework of RCO84.
