WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

AMCO: Ambiente Concierge


Description

The aim of AMCO is to develop a
new, innovative and integrated standard-AAL-platform
to enhance the quality
of life and help all and especially elder
people coping with every-day life, like
bed-linen-changing-, cleaning- or party-services.
Therefore smart living services
are offered, adjusted to the needs
of the individual. Communication should
be endowed, advocated and inspirited,
i.e. by easily video-conferencing and
digital black boards. Furthermore the
individual safety is increased, i.e. by automatic
cooker-deactivation or in-house
emergency calls. So the individual potentials
can be brought into action.
Developing a new standard AAL-platform
is the main purpose of the AMCO
Project, therefore the AMCO Platform
is the most remarkable result of the
project. Another result will be the academic
evaluation of the pattern-of-use
categorized by demographic respectively
geographic parameters, which can be
consulted in future AAL projects. Furthermore
the evaluation can be used to
design service portfolios for new applications.

WSIS values promotion

The aim of this project is to enable older people to live as independently as possible with a high quality of life. For this purpose, configurable, local and individualized service packages in the areas of information, communication and building services will be developed and offered in the first phase of the project via existing technical infrastructures, which will be revised and further developed in a second phase. This is an assistive technology that focuses on the well-being of the elderly in Europe.
