Objetivo INSIDE is an intelligent system - to access health care and related social information (legal, insurance, taxes, cultural, etc.) distributed among various structured and unstructured data banks - which aims to provide an integrated information delivery service to older people.The general objective of INSIDE is to provide an integrated information delivery service to older people through the use of an intelligent system to access health care and social information (legal, insurance, taxes, cultural, etc.) distributed among various structured and unstructured data banks. Specifically the system focuses on the geriatric diseases and the rehabilitation problems of older people. It is intended to be used as a test-bed model which will be exported on a European scale.INSIDE will result in the development of an infocenter consisting of a local area network connecting a local database server and application oriented workstations; a relational database management system (RDBMS) for the retrieval of the information, conceived as an intelligent index to local and remote data banks; a number of operator terminals accepting and processing telephone requests from users.User access will be provided through telephone calls to professional operators, responsible for receiving, identifying and processing the request. Users will be both older people and professionals looking for specific information.The innovative aspect of INSIDE lies in the availability of a unique, user oriented interface (access point) to a large range of 'sensitive' information but using a uniform and simple procedure. Technical Approach : The main technical development will be structuring the raw information available in RDBMS tables, developing procedures for fast and effective data acquisition and update from different sources (paper, electronic, etc.), developing RDBMS applications for user interface, remote access or remote query execution, integration of local/remote connections and procedures.The work will be carried out accordingly to the following steps: specification of user requirements, selection/design of services to be provided, design of the organisational framework, architectural design, including local and remote RDBMS definitions, local and geographical connections, interface to users, links to external professionals and institutions, RDBMS tables design, systems implementation and software development, installation and test bed running, technical evaluation of the prototype, social impact evaluation and dissemination activity.Impact and Expected Results : The work to be carried out in INSIDE mainly consists in the design, development and evaluation of a telematic service provider centre. The INSIDE consortium is committed to follow a dissemination policy starting from a regional level but with the possibility of wider dissemination across Europe. To this end, each participant in the project will contact local Authorities and Institutions, both public and private, in order to make them aware of the existence of the system, giving them the opportunity to use the system themselves. In a second phase, concertated actions will be carried out in order to present/advertise the system at a macro-regional level (more European countries involved).The commitment to apply the results of the project to health care and social assistance authorities at regional and national level will afford the opportunity to survey not only the impact on users but also the costs.
