2. SUGGESTION FOR PROPOSAL
Research and development actions focus on:
Experience and Application Research leading to large scale demonstrators to mainstream accessibility in particular in the areas of smart environment, next generation mobiles, digital TV and future related services.
Work will benefit by using existing infrastructures of key industrial actors in the field and involving users (elderly and disabled people) in the RTD process.
Demonstration scenarios will focus on living environments for older people (at home and at the medical centers).
>> Instrument: IP on e-Inclusion for elderly people <<
With focus on technologically advanced solutions to:
* Promote an active aging and dependence prevention
* Rehabilitate older adults with neuropsychological disorders and/or with mobility impairments
* Promote e-health and at home caregiving systems
