The users of the platform (http://portal.
usefil.eu) will be able to register with the USEFIL portal, creating their own page so that they can interact with the whole system. Professionals
can also gain
access to a different user interface. They can access their patients’ health records, subscribe medications and schedule appointments and reminders via their personal calendar. They will also be able to communicate with their patients via audio and video communication and create questionnaires for their patients (which can be answered electronically using a user-friendly interface on the tablet or TV). A portal for developers will be
available as well (
http://devs.usefil.eu). After a successful registration, a developer will
gain access to
information and developer tools for implementing and registering his own application to the USEFIL Examples, source
developers will portal. code, API
documentations, forums and support from USEFIL’s
help
third party developer to create applications for their own needs. They can upload their applications to the developer site and, after a successful audit from the platform’s administrators, their application will become available through the platform’s store. Technology implementation will be on
based user acceptance and an
understanding of user interactions that will truly address user needs. The technology will be constantly online, and the cloud intelligence will be used for the benefit of the elderly user. The project also aims to promote future
visions of big data mining of fused data in
order to uncover basic daily
behaviour together as well as signs of progressive health
and mental
deterioration. This is achieved through innovative algorithms that can model typical human behaviour and extract correlations from sets of fused data. “One of the most important attributes
of the system is that the technology is unobtrusive, allowing elderly people to monitor themselves and to organise their communities due to the ease of use. These technologies will help people live longer and healthier while living independently,” says Papadopoulos. USEFIL directly addresses the pressing
issues of ageing, health and inclusion by promoting an approach that places the individual firmly in the centre. Elderly people are considered the core of the service, as they will be aware of the reality of the system and it will be based around their needs. However, the involvement of others is also one of the key aspects of
the approach, with
everyone from friends and family to medical professionals and carers all encouraged to get platform.
This will
involved with the help
foster
interaction between the elderly and doctors and carers
AT A GLANCE Project Information
Project Title: USEFIL: Unobstrusive Smart Environments For Independent Living
Project Objective: USEFIL will support independent living of the elderly citizens as long as possible in their home by designing, developing and deploying widely adopted systems. USEFIL intends to use low cost “off-the-shelf” technology to develop immediately applicable services that will assist the elderly in maintaining their independence and daily activities.
Project Duration and Timing: 36 months, November 2011 onwards
Project Funding: EC FP7/Collaborative Project/ICT, Budget 4.628.909
the for improved
treatment personalised to the needs of the elderly, and also the interaction with family and friends that allows the elderly to keep their social network alive even if they are unable to move outside their home.
