  1. Ambient Assisted Living: “Age-appropriate services, uniform IT-platform: The district as place for services,assistance and nursing” Dr. Markus Wiedeler Fraunhofer ISST, Dortmund, Germany 9th June, 2011

  2. Business Unit »Ambient Assisted Living (AAL)« Thesis 2: Elder People Need More Safety at Home Technological Solution: • With the help of unobtrusive sensors and actuators each domicile can become a »smart home« • Example: automatic lighting control when it gets dark, switching off the stove when leaving the apartment, emergency call button, downfall sensors, movement monitoring, ordering services, reminder services for people suffering from dementia… Networked Home-infrastructure

  3. Business Unit »Ambient Assisted Living (AAL)« Thesis 3: Technology turns the apartment into a third health location. Thesis: • Medical conditions are increasingly chronic, medical treatment is provided more and more ambulatory. • Media convergence, standardization and telematics infrastructures form the basis for a continous information chain within the healthcare sector. In future, the process of convalescence will increasingly take place within one's own four walls.

  4. http://www.iat.eu/ehealth/ Business Unit »Ambient Assisted Living (AAL)« :Thesis 3: Technology turns the apartment into a third health location Technological Solution: • Homecare is increasingly gaining in importance. • Telemedicine enables remote assistance. • Examples: transfer of vital parameters, wound aftercare, obesity, prevention programs

  5. Business Unit »AmbientAssisted Living (AAL)«:Smart Living forservice, forhealth, forcare

  6. Aim: elderly people can live as long as possible freely and independently within their homes flats are equipped with networked technological modules which are adjusted to the individual needs of each user (e.g. vital sensors for measuring weight, blood pressure and blood sugar) The TV set (»Smart Living Manager«) serves as central control unit and is connected with a medical care center, physicians and medical care providers via a service platform. Project name: WohnSelbst Partners: HSK Rhein-Main GmbH (Wiesbaden), DKE German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies of DIN and VDE (Frankfurt), GWW Wiesbadener Wohnungsbaugesellschaft mbH (Wiesbaden), Beurer GmbH & Co. KG (Ulm) Funding: German Federal Ministry of Education and Research Project duration: 2009 to 2012 Reference Project Ambient Assisted Living:»WohnSelbst« Smart Living and Telemedical Applications

  7. Reference Project Ambient Assisted Living:»WohnSelbst« - Mutual Benefit of Cooperation (Clinics – Housing Companies) • offering mcplus services to a dedicated customer group • binding / gaining potential patients for the hospital • demographic change leads increasingly to more people with chronic diseases and a growing number of elderly people – many of them being apartment leasers • medical support helps tenants to live a self-determined life • elderly people are solvent customers, therefore, supporting them to live a self-determined life in their homes ensures earningsfor the housing company

  8. Reference Project Ambient Assisted Living:»Daily Care Journal« Network of care • Increasing Efficiency of Home Care • Revised communication between professional and non-professional care providers • Revised coordination and flexibility of care processes • Optimization of a single care process • Transparency of patient care procedures • Documentation of care • Involving all care provider and patients • Personalized selection and offering • Understand ability • Devices • Selection of practical devices using care portals

  9. Reference Project Ambient Assisted Living:»Daily Care Journal« Home Care Networks ProfessionalCare Service • Potential to increase efficiency in home care • Improved communication between professional and non professional care providers • Transparency of care activities (e.g. AEDL) • Better coordination and flexibility of care processes between all participants • Enhanced patient security at home Family, Neighbours,Friends ServiceProviders

  10. Summary / Conclusion • Ambient Assisted Living is seen as an important contribution answering challenges of the demographic change problem • AAL is being implemented by many projects / initiatives • So far, many projects remain in a »pilotitis« state • Quite often, technology driven approaches are taken and after showing feasibility, business models are expected to come from the public health sector • WohnSelbst takes a different approach: starting from a clear business model (analysis), looking for supporting AAL technology
