## Description
MatchCare is a European research-driven platform that connects older adults with compatible professional caregivers through psychosocial matching. Using the dignitas-fuzzy-vikor algorithm (12 biographical dimensions), Relational Portraits, and the Hestia AI biographical intelligence system, MatchCare transforms long-term care from transactional service delivery into relational biographical care. Funded by Horizon Europe (Cluster 2), the project involves 9 partners across 8 European countries.

- Psychosocial Matching (dignitas-fuzzy-vikor): 12-dimension algorithm analyzing biographical compatibility

- UCLA-N: 8-indicator narrative loneliness detection scale (0-80)
