SmartBear

Digital tools hold the promise for many health benefits that can enhance the independent living and well-being of the elderly.

Motivated by the above, the aim of the SMART BEAR platform is to integrate heterogeneous sensors, assistive medical and mobile devices to enable the continuous data collection from the everyday life of the elderly, which will be analysed to obtain the evidence needed in order to offer personalised interventions promoting their healthy and independent living.

SMART BEAR will leverage big data analytics and learning capabilities, allowing for large-scale analysis of the above-mentioned collected data, to generate the evidence required for making decisions about personalized interventions.
