BEDMOND: Behaviour Pattern Based Assistant for the Early Detection and Management of Neurodegenerative Diseases


Description

BEDMOND project result includes an
ICT-based system for an early detection
of Alzheimer’s disease and other
neurodegenerative diseases, focused in
elderly people while living at home. The
complete platform provides professional
tools for health care professionals, caregivers
and elder at home.
With such an early detection health
professionals can soon apply an also
early treatment which helps the elder
to live longer in an independent way at
home (by delaying as long as possible
Alzheimer’s disease appearance and
progress) whilst decreasing expenses
to the Health System (by moving forward
in time the institutionalization stage).
Technological innovation comes from
the benefit of making use of the whole
set of sensor and detection devices installed
(and installable) at home, normally
for comfort and safety.
Social innovation comes firstly from the
benefit of early detecting neurodegenerative
diseases and improving and adding
extra value to the tele-care services
provided by public and private health
care services providers.
