An affordable and personalised health care system for an independent ageing

There is a social and market demand for the new, ICT based responses to care and health service provision to improve chronic disease management at home and prolong the possibility of autonomous, safe and socially fulfilling life. Many current ICT e-health applications focus on the provision of individual clinical services. There is a need for improvement of horizontal applications and for the coordination of services from different agencies and disciplines into tailored and customised packages of provision spanning both health and social care. The proposed session will exchange best practice and propose new solutions for the coordinated of the delivery and governance of complex ehealth services. It will explore the architectural and technological issues of these applications and infrastructures and investigate viable business models for innovative and low cost health services’ provision. A comparative approach with the enterprise interoperability world will be considered.

There is probably an high parallelism between the web of relationships in the manufacturing networks and the complex world of eHealth structures that are a mix of public administration and private structures.

Invitation to participate CIP ICT-PSP 1.3: Making Emergency Services Accessible to all PILOT-B

Bram Stalknecht — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:39:27 +0200

We have been ask to apply for a ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP).
Our initiative will be a Type B Pilot project, 4.5 MEuro.
This programme aims at stimulating innovation and competitiveness through the wider uptake and best use of ICT by citizens, governments and businesses, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. The approach is based on leveraging innovation in response to growing societal demands.

As we are currently developing an innovative medical triage support solution, we like to apply a project based on the Objective 1.3: Making Emergency Services Accessible to all.

We will develop a pilot service focusing on the validation of total conversation access to emergency services, including SMS, Web, Mobile, Landline, accessible for all across Europe. We will have plug-ins like relay services, SMS, Speech-to-text, animation, video, etc.

For more information about the call, please visit:
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/ict_psp/about/index_e...

For more information of our triage decision support solution, please

We already have a project plan available and are registered already.

As you are a high respected organization and you are in the ICT PSP Database, we kindly ask you to join our consortium. Our consortium included Microsoft, Red Cross, Telcom internationals, hospitals, GP organizations, emergency providers and many other stake holders.
Please consider your participation, if you need further information
please do not hesitate to contact me.

University of Hildesheim

Klaus.Schmid — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:10:21 +0200

The University of Hildesheim / software systems engineering would be interested in participating in DOMCARE. We are working on adaptive systems and ambient Intelligence - in particular from the perspective of Requirements Engineering / Specification, but also from the perspective of implementation (infrastructures). University of Hildesheim is working in particular on the issue of software product lines, which amounts to the integrated development of sets of systems, which might be particularly relevant for a project that aims at the integrated development of sets of Domestic Care Systems. We work for >10 years on this topic and cooperate with a number of large organizations in this area. This was also subject of multiple European-Wide cooperations. The head of the group (Klaus Schmid) was previously department head for requirements and usability engineering at a Fraunhofer institute and was founder of an ambient intelligence lab there. Currently we are also involved in a number of industrial projects and work on a European project on context-aware systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Klaus Schmid University of Hildesheim Tel.: +49 (0) 5121 / 883-761 Institute of Computer Science Fax.: +49 (0) 5121 / 883-769 Marienburger Platz 22 schmid@sse.uni-hildesheim.de D-31141 Hildesheim, Germany http://www.sse.uni-hildesheim.de ----------------------------------------------------------------- The new book on Software Product Lines is out: http://www.spl-book.net -----------------------------------------------------------------

ICT-PSP Call for Proposals <09 September 2008

consen — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:29:49 +0200

Start: 2008-09-09 00:00

Objective 1.4: ICT for ageing well with cognitive problems, combining assistive and independent living technologies
Funding instrument: Pilot B - it is intended to support several pilot actions
The objective is to significantly

improve quality of life and social care for the ageing population by combining assistive technologies

to compensate for cognitive problems or mild dementia with independent living platforms,

specifying and demonstrating the resulting innovative ICT enabled products and services.

Solutions should

provide cognitive training, activation and reinforcement for the elderly as well as

support to their day-to-day activities and social interactions.

This should result in a substantial prolongation of the time they can continue to be at home rather than in an institution.

"INCOM07-06x Network requirements for accessible conversational services";

"Guidelines and Tutorials for Improving the User Experience of Real-time Communication Services",

ETSI 2007 ICT Standardisation Action Plan; CEN guidelines; etc.

This is in line with the Communication from the Commission : European i2010 initiative on e-Inclusion "To be part of the information society"

COM(2007) 694 final of 8 November 2007 and the i2010 action plan for Ageing Well in the Information Society.ഊICT PSP Work Programme 2008

The pilots should be clearly demand driven and build on public-private partnerships.
