2PCS: Personal Protection and Caring System


Description

The aim of the project is to improve the mobility, the information accessibility and the subjective as well as objective safety of elderly people. Another goal of the 2PCS system is to reduce the emotional and psychological burden for care persons as well as for family members and to improve mobility, safety and freedom
along all relevant life-phases. The goal is to develop an attractive, intelligent, demand oriented and age-independent personal protection and caring system (2PCS device and infrastructure) without stigmatisation, restriction of freedom
and permanent monitoring. The 2PCS solution is based on a unique combination of innovative software features and a mixture of state of the art technologies aligned to a life-phase oriented business process logic. A modular approach allows for individual customisation and thus personalised and adjusted services for end-users. Depending on the end-users’ needs, all features and services can be activated as well as deactivated by the user or by an entitled secondary end-user. Regardless of age-groups, the solution is targeted at various user groups who need functions and services based on their distinct life-phases, challenges and needs. 2PCS is adaptable to each person´s individual life-phase and provides three basic solutions: 1. A business edition (for stationary care / assisted living / rehab.), 2. A home edition (for ambulatory care / home care), 3. A private edition (for leisure, travel and sports).
