February 12/13, 2007 - University of Bologna, Via Zamboni 33
The SENSACTION-AAL project offers the opportunity for a significant advancement of the state-of-the-art in the field of ambulatory assisting devices for enhancing safety and security in balance and movement. The ultimate goal of the project is to assist older people in maintaining independent mobility and daily life activities and prevent injuries by introducing smart body fixed sensor based technology that allow medical professionals to initiate interventions in the home environment.
To achieve this goal, the SENSACTION-AAL project will design, test and release a next-generation, smart, wireless on-body system which enables:
- monitoring of activities of daily living and
- simultaneous real-time active control of physical performance using principles such as sensory augmentation and biofeedback.
This system is equipped with both biosensors and bioactuators in-the-loop. The SENSACTION-AAL architecture will introduce new ICT solutions that make the proposed system:
- easy-to-wear and easy-to-use;
- active anywhere, anytime;
- cost effective.
