REMOTE aimed at defining and establishing
a multidisciplinary and integrated
approach to R&D of ICT for addressing,
in real life contexts, identified needs of
frail older adults, especially of citizens
at risk due to geographic and social isolation
in combination with chronic conditions,
such as hypertension, arthritis,
asthma, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease,
and Parkinson’s disease, and the coexistence
of lifestyle risk factors, such as
obesity, blood pressure, smoking, alcohol
abuse, poor eating / drinking habits,
stress, and low levels of physical activity.
REMOTE enhanced the older adult’s
personal environment with audio-visual,
sensor / motoric monitoring, and automation
abilities for tracing vital signs, activity,
behaviour and health condition, and detecting
risks and critical situations as well
as providing, proactively and reactively,
effective and efficient support at home.
Finally, in order to focus on the specific
risks and problems experienced by older
individuals and due to the growing gap between
urban and rural areas, the project
was aimed to enable professional carers
to access remotely past activity and medical
data of their patients. REMOTE was
validated with all types of target users
