eCAALYX: Enhanced Complete Ambient Assisted Living Experiment


Description

The exploitable results of the eCAALYX project come in two forms, 1) the eCAALYX system itself and 2) the components of the system that have been developed by each partner. The outcome of eCAALYX Home System is a robust, auto configurable and expandable home healthcare solution which at this moment is a prototype. eCAALYX system offers to the clinical professionals (i.e. carers, doctors, nurses) a tool to provide medical services to enlarge the independent living of elderly at their homes.

The eCAALYX system architecture is, by itself, an innovative approach to user monitoring, providing a reliable and scalable solution, as it was verified during the trials. New and off the shelf components can seamlessly be added, requiring only the development of device drivers, ensuring the system can evolve to meet ever changing user requirements. Several components include innovative features, such as the garment/Wearable Body Sensor (WBS), the home gateway, the mobile gateway and the data mining system.
