About us

Musculoskeletal non-communicable diseases affect the bones, joints, and muscles, making movement painful and difficult. They often lead to reduced mobility and a loss of independence—especially as people age—and include common conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic back pain. Due to demographic ageing, Europe's society is facing a major challenge, and new solutions are needed for the healthcare system and society as a whole. This is where our project steps in.

Bringing together 26 partners from across Europe, SmILE is developing smart solutions for earlier diagnosis and better long-term care of musculoskeletal diseases. With AI-driven insights and a patient-centred approach, we aim to empower older adults to take charge of their health and stay active for longer.
