CARE@HOME is about enabling empowerment,
wellness and social care services
to the home of the elderly through interactive
multimedia SmartTV. The idea
is to enclose the social support system
for the elderly and carry this as a personalized
communication and service
channel in their home.
CARE@HOME involve continuous, automatic
and remote monitoring (e.g. by
mobile phone/wireless / fixed sensors)
of real time emergencies and lifestyle
changes over time in order to manage
the risks associated with independent
living. CARE@HOME enables such care
services to the home environment without
the prohibitive costs of retrofitting
existing dwellings.
The progress beyond to the state-ofthe-art
of CARE@HOME project is that
relevant technology regarding sensors,
wireless networks, communication and
multimedia is to be integrated in community
driven products and services for
the elderly, which are highly personalized
and easy-to-use. Because of the
easy accessible ‘design platform’ of
Philips SmartTV, development new applications
and services are in reach of
many organizations and companies
