Health monitoring and sOcial integration environMEnt for Supporting WidE ExTension of independent life at HOME (HOME SWEET HOME)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014 PROJECT FINISHED

Description HOME SWEET HOME brings together a set of services which, combined, allow extending the independent life of elderly people. HOME SWEET HOME (HSH) is trialling a new, economically sustainable home assistance service which extends elders independent living. HSH intends to achieve this by providing a comprehensive set of services which support elders in their daily activities and allows carers to remotely assess their ability to stay independent. HSH privileges features which the elders themselves can use and limits the need for other people to interfere with their private life, unless the system detects a clear need. The project measures the impact of monitoring, cognitive training and e-Inclusion services on the quality of life of the elderly, on the cost of social and healthcare delivered to them, and on a number of social indicators.
