The DAI@Oxford is the partnership based at Oxford University who will work with colleagues at the Royal College of Art and Newcastle, the International Longevity Centre and Design Museum, and a variety of stakeholders from design, business, policy and academia, to address the importance of design in the light of global ageing. The partnership is funded by a UKRI Research England award for 3 years.

The Elderly People’s Integrated Care System (EPICS) was initiated by The Helen Hamlyn Foundation in the 1980s   in partnership with statutory authorities in Kensington and Chelsea, Derbyshire and Shropshire. EPICS was inspired by On Lok in San Francisco’s Chinatown.  The concept of person-centred-care, at the heart of EPICS, is now the basis of healthy ageing and long term care across Europe and elsewhere (WHO 2019). The legacy of EPICS is significant. Building on this we wished to develop the model the light of current approaches to healthy ageing in place, which emphasize the importance of sustained community connections between generations and across the life course. Public Health England highlights community-centred interventions as a fundamental element of place-based approaches for reducing health inequalities.
