BEDMOND project result includes anICT-based system for an early detectionof Alzheimer’s disease and otherneurodegenerative diseases, focused inelderly people while living at home. Thecomplete platform provides professionaltools for health care professionals, caregiversand elder at home.With such an early detection healthprofessionals can soon apply an alsoearly treatment which helps the elderto live longer in an independent way athome (by delaying as long as possibleAlzheimer’s disease appearance andprogress) whilst decreasing expensesto the Health System (by moving forwardin time the institutionalization stage).Technological innovation comes fromthe benefit of making use of the wholeset of sensor and detection devices installed(and installable) at home, normallyfor comfort and safety.Social innovation comes firstly from thebenefit of early detecting neurodegenerativediseases and improving and addingextra value to the tele-care servicesprovided by public and private healthcare services providers.
