e Health Challenges and Opportunities l E-health Multi-disciplinary

e. Health Challenges and Opportunities l E-health: Multi-disciplinary of E (ICT) and Healthcare, or applied ICT in healthcare (Design oriented), or healthcare improved by ICT (Use oriented) l Who are we? What contributions are we expected? H H E E E- Health

l Actors: – – E-health community Who are healthcare providers? Who are healthcare receivers? Who provide (design) e-health artifacts? Researchers roles?

Challenges l Needs from healthcare receivers – – l Technology push – – l Aged society More knowledge and quality expectation from citizens Mobility (people/diseases) Multi-diseases & more specialized labor division ICT (Internet, wireless networks, 3 G) Biomedical technology Globalization – – – Integrity, accessibility, mobility, interoperability Standards & diversity Laws, policies, and regulations

Opportunities Can ICT makes a better healthcare ? How? – Resolve communication problems between healthcare providers and healthcare receivers and even among different healthcare institutions. – Educating Knowledgeable healthcare citizens – Increasing healthcare co-operation and team work (e. g. , tele-medicine, teleexperts diagnose, consult, operation) – Increasing shareability of healthcare knowledge – Increasing interoperability among healthcare community

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) for Ageing society l Objectives: To extend the time during which elderly people can live independently in their preferred environment with the support of ICTs. l Targeted needs: individual elderly person, their families and caretakers (not healthcare institutions), e. g. , safety, security, social access, medical and emergency services, infotainment, etc. l User centered, muliti-disciplinary research focus (1): – working prototype; ICT context aware smart products, systems, and service; mobility, increase autonomy and reduce the need for institutionalization, accessibilty and usability, test environment, and user interaction

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) for Ageing society Research focus (2) – l l l AAL architecture for seamless integration of required devices, reliable and trusted solutions, interoperability management, standards, privacy, based on on going work in home platform, mobile communication, sensor network, sensor data collection and fusion, micro-and embedded ssytem. Project should stimulate business innovation involve relevant industrial partners SMEs (ISs or STREPS be supported? ) Instruments: ? ? Indicative budget: 40 M Euro; IPs: 50%, STREPs, CAs, SSAs 50% ?

Project scheme l Component 1: A need analysis to identify required devices, ICT context aware smart products, sensor, and sensor data collection, mobile devices and fusion l Component 2: Standards and sensor network integration, transition to Web (gateway) l Component 3: Design Database and Web architecture, design intelligent mornitering and alarming system l Component 4: Test environment: Build up laboratory to test integration, interoperability, reliability, and security of the ICT devices and communication.
