Aged society
More knowledge and quality expectation from citizens
Mobility (people/diseases)
Multi-diseases & more specialized labor division
ICT (Internet, wireless networks, 3G)
Biomedical technology
Globalization

Integrity, accessibility, mobility, interoperability
Standards & diversity
Laws, policies, and regulations
Opportunities
Can ICT makes a better healthcare ? How?
–
Resolve communication problems between healthcare providers and
healthcare receivers and even among different healthcare institutions.
–
Educating Knowledgeable healthcare citizens
–
Increasing healthcare co-operation and team work (e.g., tele-medicine, teleexperts diagnose, consult, operation)
–
Increasing shareability of healthcare knowledge
–
Increasing interoperability among healthcare community
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) for Ageing
society

Objectives: To extend the time during which elderly people can live
independently in their preferred environment with the support of ICTs.

Targeted needs: individual elderly person, their families and
caretakers (not healthcare institutions), e.g., safety, security, social
access, medical and emergency services, infotainment, etc.

User centered, muliti-disciplinary research focus (1):
–
working prototype; ICT context aware smart products, systems,
and service; mobility, increase autonomy and reduce the need for
institutionalization, accessibilty and usability, test environment, and
user interaction


AAL architecture for seamless integration of required devices,
reliable and trusted solutions, interoperability management,
standards, privacy, based on on going work in home platform,
mobile communication, sensor network, sensor data collection and
fusion, micro-and embedded ssytem.
Project should stimulate business innovation involve relevant
industrial partners SMEs (ISs or STREPS be supported?)
Instruments: ??
Indicative budget: 40M Euro;IPs: 50%, STREPs, CAs, SSAs
50% ?
Project scheme

Component 1: A need analysis to identify required devices,
ICT context aware smart products, sensor, and sensor data
collection, mobile devices and fusion

Component 2: Standards and sensor network integration,
transition to Web (gateway)

Component 3: Design Database and Web architecture,
design intelligent mornitering and alarming system

Component 4: Test environment: Build up laboratory to test
integration, interoperability, reliability, and security of the ICT
devices and communication.
