WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

HOST: Smart technologies for self-service to seniors in social housing


Description

The aimed solution is to provide easy-touse
technologies and services in social
housing flats to allow a better quality
of communication and a better access
to package services from the elders;
by experimenting a European model
of “connected flats” for elder people,
characterised by specific equipments
enabling easier relations with, family,
service providers and housing operators.
The partners of the project will develop
a digital infrastructure of the social
housing and a gateway to their services.
The expected impacts on a European
scale will be:
s An overall assessment (technology,
usages, interface, contents, communication…)
of such a device to capitalized
on the project management
s Experimentation of business models
for service providers, social housing
operators and elderly tenants (what
kind of opportunities induced by mutualisation?)
s A cross fertilization process between
different countries and different practices
that could contribute to a long
term “share of experiences”
s The sketch of a standard architecture
to help the spreading of related projects
