Objectives
The main objective of Many-Me is to offer patients in different stages of dementia a friendly and enjoyable environment supported by ICT solutions, empowering them to self-manage their condition by engaging and learning from people in a similar situation, make friends and attend support groups, test and adopt routines or techniques that help memory and cognition, undertake enjoyable activities, receive tailored medical advice as well as information which responds to their needs.
Expected results and impact
Many-Me is connecting people, making them feel they are not alone or helpless, empowering them to help themselves and stay active through the use of smart assistive technology specifically designed for patients in early and middle stages of dementia, cares, and community.
While disease progresses, Many-Me offers additional support by using familiar devices (smartphones) and Many-Me angel application. Adoption of this easy to use device will help patients perform daily tasks and significantly increase their safety, including through carer alerts and remote control functions. Patients need to feel secure in order to continue a normal living and Many-Me will reassure them that help is always available with a click of a button. Final goal is to keep patients engaged, support human contact and sense of well-being, allowing patients to live a meaningful and independent life. By designing a complete solution that adapts to disease progress, Many-Me aims at helping people live for as long as possible in the familiar environment of their homes.

Objectives
Many elderly suffer from nutritional problems that can cause chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure or cardiovascular diseases. The goal of the project LIFANA is to develop and evaluate the LIFANA Nutrition Solution that supports healthy nutrition through all phases of ageing, from active seniors to elderly users and patients in need of daily care. Individual meal recommendations based on personal advice from professional nutritionists and integrated with decision support in the supermarket will assist the users to change their eating habits in order to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Expected results and impact
LIFANA aims to reduce the effort of daily food-related tasks for end-users and their support persons by integrating the meal-recommendations with recipe databases, grocery delivery services and smart shopping lists. We also address socio-economic aspects by taking advantage of promotional offers from retailers. We expect significant improvement of well-being and a reduced risk of malnutrition during the field trials with 280 participants in three countries. Our business partners intend to integrate LIFANA into their existing “GoLive” products and tele-medication services as soon as possible after the project ends.

Objectives
IOANNA offers an integrated solution that combines various services into one platform. It helps its (mainly senior) users feel safe to walk around the city, continue being active citizens by finding an interesting temporary job or community service opening, thus, boosting their self-confidence, keeping in the same time their care-takers relaxed that if something happens, they will get automatically notified. An easy-to-use and friendly interface will help seniors find the store they are looking for, a specific product in good price near their location or offers that they would otherwise miss.
Expected results and impact
The final product will be an online platform (web or smartphone/tablet application). The amount of users and their opinion of the platform will be a strong indication of whether the outcome will be successful. The use of IOANNA will be beneficial for the stores, as such we expect them to be among the regular end-users. Statistics of stores using the platform will offer an insight of the change in the market share with IOANNA’s use. We expect that senior adults will now be more confident to stay alone at home or go out and do the everyday activities that they used to do.

Objectives
The INCARE project is addressing the recognized need of integrative technological solutions for sustainable elderly care. Within INCARE, we will turn national and European funded projects into viable products by building on two successful solutions developed within previous AAL and European projects. Both NITICS, funded within the AAL 2012 call, and RAPP, funded 2013-2016 through the EC through the 7th Framework Programme FP7, were designed to support elderly people to live independently in their home environment and social circle. Read more about these projects at NITICS and RAPP.
Expected results and impact
INCARE is designed to support seniors to live independently and reduce or optimize the amount of care they require. The success of INCARE will be considered against qualitative and quantitative key performance indicators such as user satisfaction (no lower than 80%), acceptance rate 70-75%, reduced caregiver burden, etc. The INCARE solution is planned to reach the market in maximum 2 years after project completion. Our current business model deals with monthly service fees from the end-consumer for their in-use INCARE modules based on micropayment (e.g. 9.50 EUR per module, month and account).

Objectives
With help of Ella4Life, elderly people – healthy or with a chronic disease or mental condition – stay healthier and live a more pleasant life, independent and safe. At home on a tablet and ‘on the road’ on a smartphone or -watch. Ella will support and encourage people to adapt a healthy lifestyle. Users will be more self-supporting and independent of professional healthcare, what will result in cost reduction and effectiveness. Ella will improve the quality of life of users, the productivity of healthcare professionals and relieve informal caregivers by making it possible to monitor their loved ones from a distance.
Expected results and impact
We are convinced that Ella4Life will improve the quality of life of end-users as well as informal caregivers. When people get older, their chronic conditions often worsen, and at the same time, they get more problems handling the devices helping them manage their condition. This integration of systems makes it possible for end-users to keep on using their trusted equipment even when physical and cognitive limitations would otherwise make that very hard.
Besides the Improvement of the quality of life for end-users, Ella4Life also improves the quality of life for the informal caregivers. End-users can keep on using the trusted equipment and informal caregivers are reassured because they can follow everything from a distance and retain their normal life.

Living well
The project aim is to adapt and develop an existing ICT virtual assistant currently used by independent and autonomous older adults so that it (Anne) can benefit people with cognitive and other ...
Read moreObjectives
Dementia and Alzheimer’s means high health expenditures, and as a result, the current government policy focuses on helping older and affected people to live at home as long as possible. However, good and affordable support for those affected requires a complementary alternative to the current healthcare system. In this project, a personal virtual assistant (PVA) Anne is being developed to assist people with early and advanced dementia in everyday life by activating reminder (appointments, medication, nutrition), employment (games, music, news, etc.) and service functions (video call, home automation).
Expected results and impact
Anne will fundamentally improve the quality of life for everyone involved: with Anne, those affected stay longer independent and can stay longer at home. For caregivers Anne could become an assistant and a direct link between the professional caregivers, the patients and their informal caregivers and provide information on the state of the patient thus making for more efficient and effective care. A prototype has been tested with the elderly and showed that support with personal calendar management was highly valued. We expect Anne to reach domestic market in the middle of 2020.

Objectives
Providing a user-sensitive ICT-based home environment that supports a personalised and 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. Central to the proposed idea is the combination and integration of home-based ICT and social networks, connecting the elderly person living at home with their families, friends and carers, on various levels. The project will provide the technological means to exploit the power of social networks and the beneficial effect of social inclusion and activities on cognitive and mental processes.
Expected results and impact
Different technologies and devices will be integrated to provide solutions targeting the needs of the individual elderly person:
- Innovative technologies for the unobtrusive detection of user states and activities;
- A social networking technology platform specifically designed to meet the needs of, and be usable by, the elderly person;
- Ambient devices for the display of information and events and for easy interaction with the home-based system and connected others.
