COVI19 SPMiHO Platform

Category: Other

The smart platform for monitoring and ensuring individual health with patient participation based on the ontology approach (SPMiHO) is the platform that provides e-health services with preventing risks and confounders based on the individual ontology and smart patterns for timely health correction. This is very important for effective prevention of severe chronic diseases and their consequences, especially in the elderly people. The virtual SPMiHO platform is located on a cloud and includes IoT system that uses 1) various sensors for monitoring the basic parameters to characterize the main indicators of human health, 2) data collection and transmission channels that process based on a variety of information transfer technologies, 3) personal data protection tools, 4) intelligent data collection and processing services, 5) analytical analysis tools, decisions making (making a diagnosis) tools, 6) collecting and processing data on the results of treatment, 7) the messenger for timely informing of the responsible persons.

Creation Process of the Digital Platform to Foster Healthy and Active Aging: enbuenaedad

Category: User Experience

Andalusia is a region in the south of Spain with 8,4 million inhabitants of which 1,3 million are over 65 years old. Andalusia has been recognized as Reference Site by the European Commission within the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Aging. The Regional Ministry of Health of Andalusia has put in place strategies to promote healthy and active aging. One of these strategies is enbuenaedad, a digital platform which main aim is to foster active and healthy aging. The target audience is people over 55 years old, caregivers of older adults, as well as health and other key professionals who work with this population. Content sections are inspired in the three pillars of the World Health Organization (WHO) policy framework for active and healthy aging: health, participation, and security, but introducing an additional one which is lifelong learning. One of the strengths of this platform is the creation process. Using a co-thinking design, all target groups get voice under the umbrella of empathy and are empowered by providing support, training, knowledge, and best practices. For its development, dissemination, maintenance, and improvement, the project advocates the unavoidable participation of key stakeholders representing all sectors involved: The Senior Council of Andalusia; Primary Health Care professionals; local authorities; Guadalinfo agents; Permanent Adult Education; and Active Participation Centers. Quantitative and qualitative data obtained within the process support this project. Since its launching, 10,779 users have registered to the platform with more than 157,000 visits. Focusing on WHO four pillars on active and healthy aging Enbuenaedad is based on, preliminary results show effectiveness regarding participation and social interaction. Furthermore, achieving high participation coverage is a necessary but not sufficient input to the provision of adequate approach to older people. More comprehensive evaluation of the four pillars must be taken to ensure a holistic approach. A challenge is a cooperation between three traditionally independent sectors, cooperative work between health, social services, and education is crucial for the future sustainability of this intervention.

Detection of sitting posture using hierarchical image composition and deep learning

Category: Other

Human posture detection allows the capture of the kinematic parameters of the human body, which is important for many applications, such as assisted living, healthcare, physical exercising and rehabilitation. This task can greatly benefit from recent development in deep learning and computer vision. In this paper, we propose a novel deep recurrent hierarchical network (DRHN) model based on MobileNetV2 that allows for greater flexibility by reducing or eliminating posture detection problems related to a limited visibility human torso in the frame, i.e., the occlusion problem.

Educational game on post stroke care

Category: User Experience

An innovative game for this project was designed to work around the standard ineffectiveness of traditional learning approaches for direct care workers dealing with stroke survivors. The game runtime, complexity and intrusiveness was modeled and designed from the ground-up around the requirements and needs indicated by direct care workers and experts in the field.

frAAgiLe: Technological Platform for monitoring and monimizaing frailty

Category: Projects

FrAAgiLe is a platform intends to analyze the status of the elderly person, both physically and mentally, in terms of fragility, and then assign individualized physical and mental exercises to avoid the risk of possible falls, using an accessible and affordable solution that combines videos for exercises and serious games to both train and detect physical or cognitive fragility. Deep Learning techniques will be applied in order to help the frAAgiLe system learn about the fragility history of each individual end-user and customize the training plan according to his/her evolution. The system will also focus on being as cheap and less intrusive as possible, using only tablets and wearables. frAAgiLe project will be developed through a user-centered approach, with an active involvement of end-users in different phases of the project, along its entire duration; end-users coming from 3 different European countries, and thus bringing a heterogeneous background from cultural and economic perspectives, will contribute to the co-creation of the platform.
