M. Antomarini, F. Cesaroni, E. Piangerelli, C.Sdogati.Ubiquitous care system to support independent living, the Confidence project. FORITAAL Book of abstracts. September 2009.
Abstract:
CONFIDENCE project objective consists in the development of innovative domotics solutions for the quality of life of the older persons to promote their independent living, in particular for the identification of anomalous events as falls, loss of conscience or unusual behaviours that could spring from health problems in the elderly ones. Researchers recognised the importance of involving end users in all the phases of the technical development, to guarantee a user-centred and demand-pull driven approach. the user needs and requirement analysis implied an intensive activity of research involving different stakeholders: elderly people, family members, formal and informal caregivers, friends, neighbourhoods, volunteers, policy and decision makers. The compliance of the System with the end-user indications will be constantly monitored through devoted tasks. The psychological, ethical, gender and legal issues associated with the project activities were guaranteed and constantly monitored too. This monitoring is one of the most relevant aspects in current research; in fact, a working prototype will be the result of this multidisciplinary activity.
