Cooperation -Theme 3 Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)Objective ICT-2011.5.4 ICT for Ageing and WellbeingSmart and self-adaptive environments prolonging independent living: Focus is on flexible ICTsolutions able to provide early detection and adaptive support to changing individual needsrelated to ageing (e.g. increased risk of falls, depression, sleep deprivation, or cognitivedecline), and support timely involvement of carers and family. The aim is to promote betterprediction, prevention and support through long-term trend analysis of basic daily behaviouraland physiological data, building on unobtrusive sensing and advanced reasoning withhumans-in-the-loop. Major challenges to be addressed include: self-learning solutions buildingon open platforms, which can share contextual information with other artefacts in the surroundings of the user; low maintenance systems capable of graceful degradation in case of failure as well as affective and empathetic user interaction, taking into account the capabilities of elderly users.Expected impact:• Novel “ageing well” concepts providing convincing indication of substantial efficiencygains24 for care provision and augmented independence and quality of life for the ageingpopulation.• Improved competitiveness of EU industry through proven feasibility and impact to movethe results into downstream RTD or innovation.• Strengthened potential for Europe to become a global leader in the field of ICT and“ageing well”, including development of global interoperability standards in the field.• Proven concepts for early detection of ageing-related risks, substantial reduction in coststhrough standardisation and increased quality of life.Funding scheme: Small-medium sized research project
