The general objective of IS-ACTIVE is
to devise a person-centric healthcare
solution for patients with chronic conditions
- especially elderly people - based
on miniaturized wireless inertial sensors,
which provide distributed motion capture
and intelligent recognition of activities
and situations. The IS-ACTIVE
sensor-based system is meant to provide
the patients:
s An effective sensing system for daily
use, which analyzes in real-time their
physical activity and condition;
s An easy-to-use interface and a natural
feedback, so that they become
easily aware about the importance of
self-management.
IS-ACTIVE aims at producing tangible
results in the form of fully-functional
prototypes with a relatively short estimated
time to market (1-2 years).
IS-ACTIVE made an effort to shift medical
device technology into the mainstream
consumer electronics market.
This implied that there is a strong focus
towards ease of use, integration and
pricing.

• Eastern Europe
• Western Europe and North America

• Older persons
• People with disabilities

The project emphasizes the role of the home as care environment, by providing real-time support to patients. IS-ACTIVE proposes a combined technological solution, which uses intelligent miniaturized inertial sensing used for ambulatory human movement analysis, and wireless communication. The IS-ACTIVE sensor-based system is meant to provide the patients: An effective sensing system for daily use, which analyses in real-time their physical activity and condition; An easy-to-use interface and a natural feedback, so that they become easily aware about the importance of self-management.
