Objective
The SCALP project focuses on location problems of elderly people with dementia in an institutional/hospital environment.
Within an institutional, hospital environment, specific services are needed to provide alarms in emergency situations and to locate patients and staff when necessary. Information services are also required to maintain human contact and to give guidance to elderly people with dementia.
The SCALP integrated system, when compared to available or emerging processes and techniques, will include:
- the possibility of determining the degree of urgency of the alarm,
- the possibility of identifying the location of the person who needs help,
- the possibility of receiving calls as soon as a person enters a building.
Technical Approach: Following the identification of requirements from different types of users, the SCALP technology will use an innovative communication architecture to address the needs of disabled or elderly people with dementia and their carers. How these requirements are met through the SCALP system will be validated by means of a demonstrator installed in an institutional care environment in Spain.
Impact and Expected Results: SCALP will be an active contributor in European efforts aimed at defining and standardising new radio systems for elderly and disabled people to ensure a safe and user friendly environment, whilst also ensuring the dignity and independence of the patient. The new features offered by the SCALP technology will enhance services for disabled and elderly people.
