Descrizione del progetto
Soluzioni di case intelligenti per cittadini anziani
Circa il 14 % della popolazione dell’UE è di età superiore ai 65 anni e il numero è destinato a raddoppiare entro il 2050. La sanità e i servizi sociali sono indubbiamente messi alla prova dalla popolazione in crescita e che invecchia. Ecco perché migliorare la qualità della vita della popolazione europea sempre più anziana è fondamentale. In questo contesto, il progetto SMILE, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà soluzioni di sanità elettronica per sostenere gli anziani in casa. In particolare, individuerà i bisogni degli anziani che vivono in casa e lavorerà con loro per co-creare soluzioni digitali. In generale, lo scopo del progetto è sviluppare ambienti di case intelligenti che possano ridurre i tassi di ospedalizzazione, in particolare per gli anziani in zone remote.
Obiettivo
Drawing on practical situations that older people face in daily living, SMILE will create SMart Inclusive Living Environments (SLE) with novel eHealth solutions enabling ageing in place. There are 6 main objectives:
1. Identify the needs and preferences of older people while living in their home environments.
2. Undertake co-creation of easy to use digital solutions with older people and novel methods to involve people with dementia.
3. Develop a smart AI-based system (Digital Care Facilitator and Conversational Agent) to proactively support older people in daily living.
4. To provide acceptable digital solutions when these solutions are introduced into older peoples lives
5. Evaluate the SMILE package to assess replicability and scalability in enhancing living spaces supporting independent, active and socially inclusive living for older people.
6. Build Europe-Canada cooperation in replicating, scaling and extending the results of SMILE to benefit the very heterogeneous populations of older people in our societies.
These objectives will be achieved by 3 workstreams based on trans disciplinary research: co-creative design and evaluation; digital care facilitator and conversational agent; SMILE SLE ecosystem and digital solutions. Our targeted breakthroughs for smart living environments supporting independent and active living are: a participatory SLE ecosystem model; the ‘Digital Care Facilitator’, an AI-based system [TRL6]; a conversational agent as an everyday intermediary enhancing social participation [TRL6]; personal mHealth apps, and eHealth monitors and devices [TRL5-8]. We will demonstrate that SMILE works for a very heterogeneous group with different needs and preferences: older people with severe dementia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and care transitions during post-surgery recovery. With this combined package and related service improvements SMILE will go beyond state of the art in ways that are sustainable, scalable and exploitable.
