The final General Assembly of the CAREPATH project took place in Birmingham, UK

The final General Assembly (GA) meeting of the CAREPATH project took place on 12 June 2025 in Birmingham, UK. All consortium partners were invited to attend, and the meeting provided an opportunity to present and review the progress, achievements, and remaining tasks in each work package. The meeting also addressed regulatory and ethical challenges encountered during implementation, especially concerning software as a medical device (SaMD). As a matter of fact, an in-depth discussion was held regarding the complexity of ethics approvals and regulatory inconsistencies across partner countries. The group agreed to collaborate on a commentary or letter to highlight these barriers, potentially targeting a journal such as Lancet Digital Health. Contributors will include advisors and clinical leaders across the consortium.

A WP6 Delphi Workshop took place on the first day of the meeting.

Partners were reminded to submit final deliverables by 30 June 2025 and to provide designated points of contact for technical and financial reporting over the summer months. The final project review is confirmed for 25 September 2025, and at least one rehearsal session will be organised.
The meeting concluded with appreciation for the dedication shown by all partners throughout the CAREPATH project. Despite numerous challenges, the consortium delivered integrated technical and clinical solutions that were well received by end users. The team now turns to successful finalisation and review of all project outcomes.

Mert Gençtürk and A. Emre Akpınar represented SRDC at the meeting and presented the results of the User Experience and Usability Evaluation of the CAREPATH Adaptive Integrated Care Platform.
