Description:

ACTIVAGE is a European Multi Centric Large Scale Pilot on Smart Living Environments. The main objective is to build the first European IoT ecosystem across 9 Deployment Sites (DS) in seven European countries, reusing and scaling up underlying open and proprietary IoT platforms, technologies and standards, and integrating new interfaces needed to provide interoperability across these heterogeneous platforms, that will enable the deployment and operation at large scale of Active

Overview: 
The vision of ACTIVAGE is to be the global world-wide reference for providing the evidence that standard-secure-intraoperative IoT ecosystems enable new business models and cost-effective solutions for Active and Healthy Ageing, contributing to the sustainability of the health and care systems, the competitiveness of the European industry through innovation, and the improvement of the quality of life and autonomy of older adults in the form of independent living.

Objectives: 
O1. To deliver the ACTIVAGE IoT Ecosystem Suite (AIOTES), a set of techniques, tools and methodologies for interoperability at different layers between heterogeneous existing IoT Platforms and an Open Framework for providing Semantic Interoperability of IoT Platforms for AHA, addressing trustworthiness, privacy, data protection and security.O2. To set up a European Multi Centric Large Scale Pilot distributed across nine interconnected Deployment Sites of seven European countries constituting the whole operational and evaluation space, in order to build local IoT ecosystems on top of legacy open or proprietary IoT platforms, encompassing all stakeholders in the AHA value chain and highlighting seamless services connectivity support while users are moving in their living environments.O3. To set a common Reference Evaluation Framework implementing the GLOCAL approach able to complement Global and LOCAL reference features and requirements. The evaluation framework will allow the assessment of interoperable IoT-enabled Active & Healthy Ageing solutions enhancing and scaling up current existing services on every Deployment Site, for the promotion of independent living, the mitigation of frailty, preservation of quality of life and autonomy of older adults in smart living environments. The objective is to create significant evidence and value of the benefit produced on all these aspects, for the sustainability of the H&SCS, and for validating new business, financial and organizational models for care delivery, both in a local/national and European scope.O4. To provide a co-creation framework that enables the identification, measurement, understanding and prediction of the demands and needs of IoT ecosystem on AHA users: older adults, caregivers, health and social care professionals and providers, assessing their needs, preferences and perceptions regarding user acceptance, trust, confidentiality, privacy, data protection and safety. The goal of this objective is to raise and identify some unknown key success factors related also to deployment and scaling up activities.O5. To set up and operationalize a communication and dissemination program that allows worldwide outreach of project activities and achievements, to make ACTIVAGE a global reference framework of evidence-based values of IoT for AHA
