Up one levela²e²
a²e² stands for an innovative ICT solution designed to prevent or/and manage elderly individuals’ chronic diseases through an increase in physical activity, resulting in better physical and mental health, ultimately improving the quality of life of its users.
AGNES
The vision is to provide a user-sensitive ICT-based home environment that supports a person-centric care process by detecting, communicating, and meaningfully responding to relevant states, situations, and activities of the elderly person with regard to mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
ALADDIN
The aim of the project is to utilise state-of-the-art in ICT in order to develop an integrated solution for the self-management of dementia patients, and develop innovative tools to support this procedure. This solution can be conceived as an integrated platform enabling distant monitoring of patient status and facilitating personalised intervention and adaptive care.
Amica
AMICA aims at providing medical management and medical care to patients suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and to address these challenges by developing and assessing long-term COPD management solutions based on innovative Information and Communication Technologies.
BEDMOND
BEDMOND is an assistant for the health professional, a daily behaviour information provider to early diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stages as a first step of neurodegenerative diseases, focused in elderly people while living at home.
CAPMOUSE
With a non-invasive modus operandi, CAP MOUSE will use external capacitive sensors mounted on a CAP MOUSE headset to scan tongue movement and feed the signal into a processing unit that extracts and translates features from the signal into e.g. mouse clicks and commands of the integrated Mobile Device, thereby replacing the keyboard, the remote control and other electronic devices.
CARE
CARE targets the automated recognition and alarming of critical situations (like fall detection) using optical sensor and real-time processing while preserving the privacy and taking into account system dependability issues, especially ensuring reliability, availability, security, and safety from a holistic point of view.
CCE
The project supports the development of an open, standardised, integrated European platform to deliver connected ICT-based assistive living solutions for the elderly.
DOMEO
The project will design and demonstrate the technical efficiency and the medical relevance of an open integration platform for eldercare robots configuration and deployment in real-world environment and for everyday life requirements.
eCAALYX
eCAALYX will develop an efficient AAL solution for several chronic conditions that can provide reliable long-term and maintenance-free operation in non-technical environments, thus, ready for real-world deployment.
EmotionAAL
EmotionAAL specifically targets at elderly persons living in rural areas and offers them an integrated seamless solution including social services and new technologies to support self care, prevention and assistance to carry out daily activities, health and activity monitoring and enhances safety and security.
H@H
The H@H addresses elderly citizens affected by Chronic Hearth Failure (CHF), providing them with wearable sensor devices for monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory parameters and, at the same time, enabling the medical staff to remotely supervise their situations and taking actions by involving public/private healthcare organizations.
Happy Ageing
The HAPPY AGEING project approaches main limitations due to chronic diseases, low vision or malnutrition and dehydration and manages the individual needs of dietary control, safety and wellbeing. The HAPPY AGEING system will be composed of three modules, including a lifestyle monitor for recording main activities, a navigation assistant to support user’s mobility in close environment and a personal assistant to support performing distinct actions.
HELP
The project integrates a complex system that dynamically monitors and treats Parkinson’s Disease patients. The system comprises a non-invasive intra-oral drug delivery device, a pump to deliver rescue medication, a PAN (Personal Area Network) to gather user’s environment information, a telecommunication and services infrastructure to transfer information between the user and an automated system and a remote point-of-care unit to supervise the patients.
HERA
The HERA project aims at providing a platform with cost-effective specialised assisted living services for the elderly people suffering from mild Alzheimer or cardiovascular diseases with identified risk factors, which will significantly improve the quality of their home life, extend its duration and at the same time reinforce social networking.
HMFM
The HMFM project explores services related to medication and medicine related information and services, and to health monitoring and diet information. Enabling technologies for the services will be mobile devices and near field communication (NFC) technology.
HOPE
The Hope project addresses elderly people that suffer from Alzheimer’s disease to achieve a richer lifestyle. An ICT system will enable persons to perform activities they were not able to do before and which are important for their daily personal life. The proposed system provides a basis for integrating further services, e.g. control of the home environment.
IS-ACTIVE
The IS-ACTIVE project emphasizes the role of the home as care environment, by providing real-time support to patients in order to monitor, self-manage and improve their physical condition according to their specific situation. The project addresses all development phases of a prototype wireless sensing platform, from hardware platforms and software packages to algorithms and user interfacing and aims to introduce the platform 2 years after the project end.
PAMAP
PAMAP will develop an unobtrusive and fully mobile system that enables the accurate monitoring of the physical activities of aging people. The system will be based on a set of tiny MEMS sensor units and dedicated software for professional and private use. It will rely on a sounded bio-mechanical model of the human body, measure accurately the motions and efforts of the upper and lower limbs, thanks to an appropriate parameterization.
REMOTE
REMOTE will advance the Software Architecture in fields of tele-healthcare by enhancing the elderly’s home with audio-visual, sensor/motoric monitoring and automation abilities to trace vital signs, activity, behaviour and health condition, and detect risks and critical situations, as well as provide, effective and efficient support at home.
RGS
The Rehabilitation Gaming System consortium will develop and test a virtual reality based system that will allow an elderly person who suffered a stroke, to take advantage of a novel ICT based product to manage their chronic condition. RGS deploys an individualized and specific deficit oriented training that combines movement execution with the observation of a correlated action by virtual limbs that are displayed in a first-person perspective.
ROSETTA
ROSETTA will help community dwelling people with progressive chronic disabilities (i.e. Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease) to retain their autonomy and quality of life as much as possible and to support their (in)formal caregivers by developing and providing an ICT system that offers activity guidance and awareness services for independent living.
SOFTCARE
The proposed SOFTCARE technology will use behavioural patterns recognition and ZIGBEE sensing nodes to create an integral system for home monitoring which will greatly expand upon existing home-based health monitoring system, as it will take into account more than one chronic condition.
