The ActivAge project

Digital technology at the service of healthcare: E-health
The Activage project: an example of E-Health
The Activage project, launched at the end of 2016, is an EU-funded e-health project with the aim of building the first European IoT ecosystem in seven countries, through open and proprietary platforms, to widely deploy solutions for monitoring the health of people, especially the elderly, in their daily living environments. WINDTRE's role in this project is that of a technology partner, participating in the design of the service and helping to identify and develop the best ways of analysing the data collected. The remote monitoring of physiological and environmental parameters collected by sensors (IoT), and the analysis of the relative data using Artificial Intelligence solutions, are providing a new approach for better decisions to be made regarding the health of individuals and entire categories of patients. The remote monitoring using the IoT provides for a reduction in unplanned emergency hospitalisation and specialist visits, with consequent benefits for patients and family members, as well as the health system as a whole.
