Project description
Towards open and personalised solutions for active and independent living
In the last decade numerous dedicated ICT solutions have been developed to deliver services in support of sustainable independent living and the promotion of active ageing of older people. The research community has spent a lot of resources developing personalised solutions covering the different perspectives of the problem - societal, organisational and economic with different levels of success. The lacking flexibility of specific solutions to support a broad range of services needed by older individuals such as safety, mobility, reminders, home management, telehealth and telecare has resulted in expensive and complicated solutions, therefore limiting scale of deployment and investments.
Building on the UniversAAL research project which was launched in 2010, REAAL aims to demonstrate the advantages of using open and flexible ICT solutions as basis for flexible and personalised delivery of a range of services needed for independent and active living of older people.
The project will measure the return of investment based on pilot deployment of services to more than 7000 users across seven countries in Europe and will contribute to action group C2 (Independent Living) of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (http://ec.europa.eu/active-healthy-ageing).
The headline objective of ReAAL is to promote standards, guidelines and reference platforms for interoperable solutions in the domain of active and independent living and demonstrate by 2015 an ICT ecosystem that uses them in pilot sites involving at least 5000 users in at least five countries. In this context, ReAAL will validate the role of common open platforms in putting interoperability standards in place and measure the related socio-economic impact. The evaluation framework will be multidimensional, allowing to also consider the ethical, legal, market, quality of life, and user experience impacts in addition to the socio-economic impact. Finally, best practices associated with the technical and organisational aspects of the deployment and public procurement will be collected, the effectiveness of the value chain for different business and organizational set-ups assessed, and existing business models refined and consolidated. ReAAL will make its findings and recommendations available in a public knowledge portal that should serve as the ultimate reference for best practices and lessons learned in case of large-scale roll-outs with interoperability focus.
To achieve the above goals, ReAAL plans to deploy within 36 months several applications in the field of active and independent living on top of the universAAL platform in several pilot sites involving ca. 7000 users in seven countries. As the result of the FP7 project universAAL (www.universaal.org) the universAAL platform is the most prominent candidate platform in this field. universAAL was launched in 2010 with the aim to reduce barriers in adoption and promoting development and uptake of innovative AAL solutions. The technical strategy has been to enable interoperability in terms of execution on a wide variety of different operating systems, allowing plug-and-play use of sensors and other equipment available on the open market and enabling easy composition of service elements to provide higher-level services. Within ReAAL, partners of the universAAL project will set up a full exploitation environment that consists of uStore, Development Depot, and run-time platform components.
