About
Philipe de Souto Barreto is a leading researcher in geriatric medicine and public health, whose work centers on the development and implementation of integrated care models for older populations. His primary research areas include frailty, disability prevention, and the translation of World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines into scalable clinical practice. De Souto Barreto is best known for spearheading the INSPIRE ICOPE-CARE programme, a pioneering initiative that operationalized the WHO's Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework in real-world settings. His landmark paper, "Implementation of the WHO integrated care for older people (ICOPE) programme in clinical practice," has garnered 185 citations, while his foundational work on the programme's framework has been cited 105 times. These contributions have demonstrated the feasibility of large-scale, person-centered care pathways that screen for intrinsic capacity declines and coordinate multi-disciplinary interventions. By bridging global policy with local healthcare delivery, de Souto Barreto has provided a replicable model for aging societies, significantly influencing how health systems approach the challenge of supporting functional ability in later life.
