Description:

International project that will create Smart Inclusive Living Environments (SLE) enabling aging in place. They will support independent and active aging living through a participatory SLE ecosystem model; the 'Digital Care Facilitator', an AI-based system; a conversational agent as an everyday intermediary enhancing social participation; personal mHealth apps, and eHealth monitors and devices. The project will demonstrate that SMILE works for a very heterogeneous group: older people with severe dementia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and care transitions during post-surgery recovery.

Overview: 
Ongoing H2020 project with an the aim of the project is to develop smart home environments that can reduce hospitalisation rates, particularly for elderly people in remote areas.

Objectives: 
Drawing on practical situations that older people face in daily living, SMILE will create SMart Inclusive Living Environments (SLE) with novel eHealth solutions enabling ageing in place. There are 6 main objectives:1. Identify the needs and preferences of older people while living in their home environments.2. Undertake co-creation of easy to use digital solutions with older people and novel methods to involve people with dementia.3. Develop a smart AI-based system (Digital Care Facilitator and Conversational Agent) to proactively support older people in daily living.4. To provide acceptable digital solutions when these solutions are introduced into older peoples lives5. Evaluate the SMILE package to assess replicability and scalability in enhancing living spaces supporting independent, active and socially inclusive living for older people.6. Build Europe-Canada cooperation in replicating, scaling and extending the results of SMILE to benefit the very heterogeneous populations of older people in our societies.
