A helping hand from Technology
The aim of the ISISEMD project is to provide a pilot of innovative intelligent set of scalable services that will support the independent living of elderly people in general and in particular the group of elderly with cognitive problems or mild dementia and at the same time to support the formal and informal caregivers in their daily interaction with the elderly.
The services will improve the elderly ability for self-care by support for their basic daily activities in way that prevents health risks in their homes. The services will also strengthen the daily interaction with their social sphere - partners and relatives, friends and care-givers, giving them the feeling of safety and preventing their social isolation. Last but not least, their cognitive training and activation will be strengthened.
To prove wide applicability in Europe, the pilot will be validated and tested in realistic conditions for 12-month period in four Member State regions which have extensive experience from existing tele-care-at-home services for elderly.
The pilot set of services will integrate: a) several partial services, b) already tested prototype, and c) completed R&D work.
The operation will be evaluated with three target end-user groups - elderly, formal and informal caregivers, addressing thus the diverse requirements of these groups.
The pilot service will contain 3 different service bundles (basic services, intermediate and high level) that allow for escalation of the service provided to the end-users, based on their needs and providing different pricing schemes.
The ISISEMD pilot has strong user centric focus and offers a wide range of individual activities that will allow for the e-Inclusion of the elderly people in every day social life.
In the final period of the project, usability, business and cost-benefit analysis of the pilot will be carried out.
