AAL Forum 2011ExhibitorsIS-ACTIVEThe IS-ACTIVE project stand will display thefollowing:1. A system for daily use, which monitors thelevel of physical activity and provides real-timefeedback to COPD patients. This system iscomposed of an activity monitoring sensornode and two feedback modalities: (a) aSmartphone that is a mobile system whichgives COPD patients insight into their dailyactivity levels and motivates them to be moreactive and (b) a tablet feedback device forin-home use that motivates and supportsCOPD patients to be more active, includingfunctionality for virtual group-walks, individualactivities, and tailored follow-along exercisevideos.2. The “Orange Submarine” game, which is asystem for exercise coaching for COPD patientsto train interactively, using fi tness devices withincorporated sensors for motion detection andsafeguarding for risks.Name and acronym of the ProjectInertial Sensing Systems for Advanced Chronic ConditionMonitoring and Risk PreventionProject web sitewww.is-active.euAddressUniversity of TwentePervasive Systems GroupDepartment of Computer ScienceZilverling BuildingPO-Box 2177500 AE EnschedeThe NetherlandsREMOTERemote health and social care for independentliving of isolated elderly with chronic conditionsREMOTE focus is especially on those living in geographicalor social isolation whose independentlife is at risk with chronic conditions or lifestylerisk factors. The project will provide support foran independent life at home with the aid of AmI(Ambient intelligence) and tele-healthcare. Theelderly’s personal environment will be enhancedwith various kinds of monitoring and automationabilities for tracing activity and health condition,as well as detecting risks or critical situations.REMOTE is going to exhibit its latest developmentsand inform about its research results.Company web sitewww.netscouts-ggmbh.deProject websitehttp://www.remote-project.euProject ContactProject Manager:Prof. Nikolaos Maglaverasnicmag@med.auth.grCentre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH),GreeceInstitute of Biomedical and Biomolecular Research(IBBR)AddressNetscouts gemeinnützige GmbHZerzabelshofstr. 29 / III.

The Multidimensional PrognosticIndex (MPI) aims at summarizing a multidimensionalevaluation for geriatric patients combiningfour dimensions (functional, cognitive, behavioraland social) and strongly correlates with one yearmortality and resource use.The evaluation of MPI is a simple but quitelong task: during the AAL Forum we will exhibitan iPhone App we’ve developed that providesphysicians with a portable and rapid tool forcalculating MPI, also at the bedside. Our Appis built around an intuitive and simple userinterface, showing step- ‐by- ‐step questionnaireand partial results; at the end of the process MPIis computed and displayed to the user.Company web sitehttp://www.operapadepio.itAddressViale Cappuccini71013 San Giovanni Rotondo (FG)ItalySENIORENGAGESeniorEngage addresses the need to help retiredsenior professionals retain their sense of selfworthand continue to participate in society inthe post- retirement years by developing networkof online knowledge sharing and community. Theaim of the SENIORENGAGE project is to becomea driving force in combating exclusion anddepression in the retired individual by providinga platform in which he or she can continue to feeluseful and improve feelings of self- worth, helpingreduce isolation and encourage active engagementin community regardless of physical health(sharing their knowhow with the young generationof professionals).Project web sitehttp://www.seniorengage.euAddressCRIC – Centre de Recerca i Innovació de CatalunyaC/ Travessera de Gràcia, 108Entlo., ES 08012 Barcelona (Spain)NOBITS (NOSTALGIA BITS)It is a project of the AAL Program which aims tofoster social interaction between older adults andtheir family, through involving them in capturingtheir memories, digitizing and uploading them toa web site. Social interaction are strengthenedbetween peer group members and between elderlypersons and their descendants, who providesupport in digitizing the Nostalgia Bits and arethe primary consumers of the enormous wealth ofknowledge and experience the grand fathers hold.Furthermore the collective memories shared inNOBIS supplies a valuable historical resourceas well.NOBITS allows elderly users to combat feelings ofisolation and low self esteem.ContactMr. Gabor Lemaklemak.gabor@mmklaszter.com+36- ‐30- ‐8661923SI‐SCREEN ‐ELISASocial Integration LayerThe contents of the presented booth show themost relevant results achieved in the first monthsof our project. We structure these contents inthree parts:• Description of the user typologies. We proposea classification of elderly people taking intoaccount two variables: social interaction andtechnology affinity. That classification will helpus to meet users’ need.• Presentation of the innovation methodology usein the project: we will present the stages andcontents of this methodology, and how will areapplying it to our project.• Description of the social integration layer thatwe are developing in order to improve theusability of the technology and overcome technologicalbarriers of the elderlies nowadays.Company web sitewww.sportkreativwerkstatt.deCompanySportKreativWerkstatt GmbHAddressHerzogstraße 4880803 Munich (Germany)Project web sitewww.si- ‐screen.eu49
