Descripción del proyecto
Formar a investigadores para que mejoren los dispositivos ponibles de bienestar
La ropa inteligente y los relojes inteligentes supervisan cada uno de nuestros movimientos, de nuestras respiraciones y de nuestros latidos. Dichos dispositivos ponibles se utilizan ampliamente en el ámbito de la sanidad electrónica y la vida cotidiana asistida por el entorno, lo cual permite vivir de forma más independiente y reducir los costes de asistencia. En el futuro, la nueva generación de dispositivos ponibles será heterogénea, funcionará con baterías, energía solar o se alimentará con el movimiento humano. En este contexto, en el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos A-WEAR se crearán programas doctorales europeos para formar a una nueva generación de investigadores noveles a fin de comprender y divulgar las vulnerabilidades y las soluciones correspondientes para la comunicación mediante dispositivos ponibles. El proyecto contribuirá a facilitar la vida, trabajar de manera eficaz y agradable, así como encontrar nuevas soluciones para proteger la privacidad.
Objetivo
The emerging market of wearables is expected to grow exponentially in the near future, driven by the sales increase of smart clothes, watches, and eyeglasses. The future wearables are likely to be heterogeneous, operating on batteries, sun power or human motion, and endowed with smart functions. They will co-operate in a decentralized manner with each other and will be able to reach various interconnected software and applications. The main stream wearable-based architecture has been applied so far in wellbeing industries, such as eHealth or ambient assisted living, which might also reduce the costs for care and guarantee a healthy independent live in the forthcoming older society. As the digitalisation and data-based economy are growing, the exploitation potential of the wearables can easily be expected to increase. Key wearables stakeholder groups in the future are also smart cities, comprising intelligent building industry and infrastructure, energy-efficient smart grid sector, public e-Services, and smart transport. Motivated by the opportunities that next-generation wearable intelligence is expected to provide, the mission of A-WEAR action is to cross-disciplinarily create new architectures, open-source software and frameworks for dynamic wearable ecosystems, with distributed localization and privacy constraints. We aim at building new joint/double European doctoral programmes to train a new generation of young researchers in order to be aware of, to cope with, and to disseminate to a large audience the vulnerabilities and the corresponding solutions of the communication and positioning through wearables. The impact of A-WEAR will be to enhance the future social well-being, to contribute to an easy living, effective and enjoyable work, and to offer new solutions to the challenges of violation of privacy by communication and positioning through wearables and to the need of applying the right of the ownership to one’s data.
