Concept of Automation and Services for People with Special Needs

Obiettivo

The CASA project aims to design, develop and evaluate a platform to provide services for elderly people, based on home system technologies and links to service centres.

The CASA project takes as a starting point the idea that the provision of services is fundamental to the development of 'assistive technologies' to the home. The project will carry out :

- Social and market studies involving an analysis both of the requirements of elderly and disabled persons and existing service environments.
- Development of products based on Home System Technology and design of a service centre interface.
- Implementation of two test beds in Portugal and Spain in order to evaluate product and services.

Technical Approach : The technical approach of the project involves application of Home System Technologies, development of user friendly interfaces based on a TV set and infra-red remote control, and implementation of STN, ISDN and CATV access, to monitor services in the home. The service centre includes a video communication system to dialogue with residents in their homes and a service supervisor unit based on a personnel computer.

Impact and Expected Results : The results of the project are as follows :

- Design of Home System products suited to the needs of older and disabled persons
- Development of the remote service centre software
- Market analysis of the requirements of older and disabled persons for services.
