Resumo: Introduction: Global aging and the vulnerability to the development of chronic diseases are challenging the sustainability of health systems, including countries in demographic and epidemiological transition, such as Cape Verde. One of the global recommendations to alleviate this pressure is the use of digital health. Objectives: Understand and explore the potential of using the digital service “BALANCE” to provide complementary health care for elderly people with balance disorders and risk of falling in Cape Verde. Materials and methods: In February 2022, a Policy Dialogue Workshop was carried out, via Zoom, including the Board of Directors of Hospital Central Doutor Agostinho Neto. Results: With the analysis of the Workshop's content, the interest and potential of using the digital service “BALANCE”, previously tested and evaluated in a Portuguese clinical context, were verified. However, for its clinical applicability, the need for time for the restructuring of work and allocation of health professionals and patient involvement was recognized. Conclusion: The future implementation of the digital service “BALANCE” in Cape Verde is an opportunity for research, allowing a close cooperation between Portugal and Cape Verde in the context of aging. It could be a promising example of health care cooperation between the member states of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries.

L'une des recommandations mondiales pour atténuer cette pression est l'utilisation de la santé numérique. Objectifs: Comprendre et explorer le potentiel d'utilisation du service numérique “ÉQUILIBRE” pour fournir des soins de santé complémentaires aux personnes âgées avec troubles de l'équilibre et risques de chute au Cap-Vert. Matériels et méthodes: En février 2022, un atelier de dialogue politique a été organisé, via Zoom, avec le Conseil d'Administration de l'Hôpital Central Doutor Agostinho Neto. Résultats: Avec l'analyse du contenu de l'atelier, l'intérêt et le potentiel d'utilisation du service numérique “ÉQUILIBRE”, préalablement testé et évalué dans un contexte clinique portugais, ont été vérifiés. Cependant, pour son applicabilité clinique, le besoin de temps pour la restructuration du travail et l'affectation des professionnels de la santé et l'implication des patients a été reconnu. Conclusion: La future implantation du service numérique “ÉQUILIBRE” au Cap-Vert est une opportunité de recherche, permettant une coopération étroite entre le Portugal et le Cap-Vert dans le contexte du vieillissement. Il pourrait s'agir d'un exemple prometteur de coopération en matière de soins de santé entre les États membres de la Communauté des pays de langue portugaise.Introdução: O envelhecimento a nível global e a vulnerabilidade para o desenvolvimento de doenças crónicas estão a desafiar a sustentabilidade dos sistemas de saúde, inclusive dos países em transição demográfica e epidemiológica, como Cabo Verde. Uma das recomendações globais para aliviar esta pressão é o uso da saúde digital. Objetivos: Compreender e explorar o potencial de utilização do serviço digital “EQUILÍBRIO” para a prestação complementar de cuidados de saúde a idosos com alterações de equilíbrio e risco de queda em Cabo Verde. Materiais e métodos: Em fevereiro de 2022, realizou-se um Workshop de Policy Dialogue, via Zoom, incluindo o Conselho da Administração do Hospital Central Doutor Agostinho Neto. Resultados: Com a análise do conteúdo do Workshop, verificaram-se o interesse e o potencial de utilização do serviço digital “EQUILÍBRIO”, previamente testado e avaliado em contexto clínico português. Contudo, para a sua aplicabilidade clínica, foi reconhecida a necessidade de tempo para a reestruturação do trabalho e alocação dos profissionais de saúde e envolvimento dos doentes. Conclusão: A futura implementação do serviço digital “EQUILÍBRIO” em Cabo Verde é uma oportunidade de investigação, permitindo uma estreita cooperação entre Portugal e Cabo Verde na conjuntura do envelhecimento. Poderá ser um promissor exemplo de cooperação de cuidados de saúde entre os Estados-membros da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa.Universidade Nova de Lisboa2022-10-22info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.430oai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/430Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; Vol 21 (2022): Estratégias de vacinação em contexto pandémico; 66-72Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; v. 21 (2022): Estratégias de vacinação em contexto pandémico; 66-722184-23100303-7762reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/430https://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.430http://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/430/355http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMartins Gaspar, Andréa G.Velez Lapão, Luís2022-10-26T05:45:21Zoai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/430Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:14:03.140885Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
