DREAMING<br />

DREAMING integrated familiar devices - such as blood pressure cuffs, mobile phones and<br />

TV – in a single plat<strong>for</strong>m. The system is based on a “box” installed at the user’s home and<br />

connected to the network. Key in<strong>for</strong>mation on the environment where the person lives and<br />

on his/her clinical parameters are sent to a Contact Centre which can take action and, when<br />

necessary, dispatches the appropriate resources (e.g. fire brigade or ambulance).<br />

Independent living is also at the core of the<br />

ROSETTA project, which specifically addressed<br />

people with progressive chronic disabilities,<br />

helping them to keep their independence and<br />

quality of life as long as possible, and supporting<br />

their carers. The project’s targets were in<br />

particular people suffering from dementia (in the<br />

different stages of the illness) and Parkinson’s<br />

disease.<br />

In the period 2011-2012 the developed system<br />

was tested in field trials with users in Belgium, The<br />

Netherlands and Germany to evaluate not only<br />

the user friendliness of the system, but also its<br />

impact on the quality of life of the elderly people<br />

with chronic disabilities and their caregivers. After<br />

the project’s completion in May 2012, the different parts of the Rosetta system are<br />

being progressively brought to the market.<br />

Rosetta<br />

The Rosetta system is based on:<br />

• An advanced awareness and prevention service, e.g. smart cameras to monitor users’<br />

activities;<br />

• An early detection system to monitor behaviours and detect changes in chronic longterm<br />

conditions;<br />

• An elderly day navigator, e.g. reminders of daily activities, a visual phonebook, digital<br />

communication facilities.<br />
