“… INLIFE aims to prolong and support independent living for older people with cognitive impairments, through interoperable, open, personalized and seamless ICT services that support home activities, communication, health maintenance, travel, mobility and socialization, with novel, scalable and viable business models, based on feedback from large-scale, multi-country pilots. An older person wears a sensor and the integrated system provides him/her basic care functions [ 27 , 28 ]. The platform was developed in United Kingdom, Slovenia, Ireland, Austria, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Greece.…”

The EU PlatformUptake project’s main goal is to investigate the usage of EU open and partly-open platforms in active and healthy aging (AHA) and ambient-assisted living (AAL) domains, from a software viewpoint. The aim of the project was to provide tools for a deeper interpretation and examination of the platforms, gather user feedback, and use it to improve the state-of-the-art approach in the AHA and AAL domains, and define instructions to enhance the platforms within the recommended order. The emphasis is on the software viewpoint for decision makers. In this paper, we present (i) the PlatformUptake methodology for AHA open platform assessments and its main objectives; (ii) clustering of the analyzed platforms; and (iii) the taxonomies generated from the text descriptions of the chosen platforms. With the use of the clustering tools, we present which platforms could be grouped together due to their similarities. Different numbers of clusters were obtained with two clustering approaches, resulting in the most informative two and four cluster groups. The platforms could be rather neatly presented in this way and, thus, potentially guide future platform structuring. Moreover, taxonomies, i.e., decision trees of platforms, were generated to easily determine each specific platform or to find platforms with the desired properties. Altogether, the computer comprehension of the platforms may be important additions to the human way of dealing with the AHA platforms, influencing future design, publications, related work, and research.

“…We developed an algorithm for fall detection, which measures acceleration in all three axes. When the application detects a high acceleration in any axis and shortly afterwards none, a fall is reported, i.e., an SMS is automatically sent to the caretaker that the fall has occurred [21]. In case of a false-positive event, the senior has an option to hold the button, which sends an SMS to the caretaker that the fall has not occurred.…”

The information society has significantly changed the field of medicine. Several decades ago when a person got sick, a doctor examined a patient and prescribed some medicine with a patient more or less unaware of the true nature of the problem. Even if explained, many patients did not understand much due to the lack of medical knowledge. Today, knowledge is widely accessible through the web and many patients try to self-diagnose or at least get another opinion using popular search engines and specialized web applications. However, many of them provide misinformation due to the lack of proper education of the provider or the lack of understanding of the user. To overcome these issues, we developed a verified medical platform (Insieme platform) that includes medical data, applications and services. This article provides a list of applications in the Insieme platform, their descriptions and how to use them.Povzetek: V prispevku so opisane zdravstvene aplikacije na platformi Insieme. Aplikacije nudijo uporabnikom različne funkcije, od osnovnega informiranja do zaznavanja zdravstvenih težav. Poleg tega aplikacije pripomorejo tudi k boljši strukturi in razdelanosti platforme Insieme.

“…The completed IN LIFE platform comprises 17 services presented in four categories: Independent Living Support, Travel Support, Socialisation and Communication Support and Caregiving Support (Table 1 contains the full list of services and where they were evaluated). Ten of these services, online exercising (IL1; [5], daily functions assistant (IL2; [6]), falls detection (IL4: [7]), Guardian Angel (IL5; [8]), mental training (IL6; OASIS project), physical activity monitoring (IL7), car driving ability assessment (TS1; [9]), public transport support (My Routes; TS2: ASK-IT project), socialisation and communication support (SC1; CIRCA [10]) and teleconsultation (CS3; [11]), were established Table 1 IN LIFE services a evaluated at each pilot site Key: Greece (GR), The Netherlands (NL), Slovenia (SL), Spain (SP), Sweden (SW), United Kingdom (UK) a Caregivers' scheduling and reminding & Caregivers' monitoring and supervision portals are assessed together and referred to collectively as "Carer Support Portals", whereas the Interaction strategies tool documented in the DoA is an integrated part of Leisure support (also known as CIRCA) and Socialisation and communication support (also known as CIRCUS) services developed and tested separately in previous projects. The other seven services were extensions of pilot or feasibility prototypes that were completed for the IN LIFE project.…”

Implementing information and communications technology (ICT) at scale requires evaluation processes to capture the impact on users as well as the infrastructure into which it is being introduced. For older adults living with cognitive impairment, this requires evaluation that can accommodate different levels of cognitive impairment, alongside input from family and formal caregivers, plus stakeholder organisations. The European Horizon 2020 project INdependent LIving support Functions for the Elderly (IN LIFE) set out to integrate 17 technologies into a single digital platform for older people living with cognitive impairment plus their families, care providers and stakeholders. The IN LIFE evaluation took place across six national pilot sites to examine a number of variables including impact on the users, user acceptance of the individual services and the overall platform, plus the economic case for the IN LIFE platform. The results confirmed the interest and need among older adults, family caregivers, formal caregivers and stakeholders, for information and communications technology (ICT). Relative to the baseline, quality of life improved and cognition stabilised; however, there was an overall reluctance to pay for the platform. The findings provide insights into existing barriers and challenges for adoption of ICT for older people living with cognitive impairment.
