Project: Connected Care for Elderly Persons Suffering from Dementia
| Acronym | CCE (Reference Number: aal-2008-1-101) |
| Duration | 01/07/2009 - 01/07/2012 |
| Project Topic | The project supports the development of an open, standardised, integrated European platform to deliver connected ICT-based assistive living solutions for the elderly. It will achieve this by: 1.Identifying user requirements for sufferers of dementia to ensure that the development of mainstream assistive technologies for elderly people is orientated towards users? needs and lifestyles, and to understand barriers to use. 2. Establishing performance requirements for interoperable technology solutions for assistive living provision. 3.Developing selected ICT-based hardware solutions for dementia. 4.Developing software solutions for assisted living for dementia sufferers in the home and outside. 5.Developing a health hub to integrate assistive living solutions for both in-home and roaming use. 6.Carrying out pilot studies to demonstrate and assess the application of ICT-enabled assistive technologies in real situations. The results will be used to identify barriers and develop guidance. 7.Assessing non-technical barriers to the mainstreaming of assistive technologies for the prevention and management of chronic conditions of elderly people (ethical, political, socio-economic, legal). 8.Disseminating the project results widely. The consortium comprises leading assistive industry, research and user bodies. It links national user groups and programmes to facilitate the development and integration of assisted living technologies across the EU. The project also covers different types of health systems in operation in Europe: government taxes (UK and Hungary), insurance (DE), a mixture of government taxes and insurance (NL). However, it is likely that, in each case, services will be funded through a combination of state, insurance and private financing. The project will investigate potential buisness models for the provision of different assistive solutions across Europe. |
