Description

The aim of this project is to initiate a major collaboration with South America on medical informatics and particularly on informatics applied to an important public health issue that is the home care for ageing people. We propose in this project to define a secure sensor-based environment for home-stay ageing people to help in today’s life (by alert systems), to transfer hospital technology, medical know-how and information from hospital to home in order to allow ageing people to stay at home as long as they can in an ethical environment.

We propose in this project to create a service-based environment for elderly follow-up home-care in order to maintain ageing people as long as possible at their own home. The project will be structured around some main aspects:

• global architecture of the service-based environment, which has specific characteristics: heterogeneous data sources containing different types of data (sensors, permanent data), device-adapted, dynamic, and context-aware;
• connection between stream sensors data and permanent data;
• adaptive interfaces for health networks environment (medical follow-up at home);

As a main issue of the project, we propose to detail the theoretical aspects of the service –based environment defined by all partners and to begin a fruitful collaboration around medical IS for home-care.
