Delivery of eHealth and eInclusion services for elderly people with mild dementia

摘要

Delivery of eHealth and eInclusion services is a topic that has already been addressed the last decades. The evolution of Internet and technology in general, enable the deployment of reliable infrastructures to even run life critical services, while inclusion of people who live in remote places is achieved through different channels available. Nevertheless systems and services for elderly people with mild dementia, which is a population that is rapidly increasing, is not tackled yet in a holistic way. There are services available that can serve some of the user requirements, but there is a clear lack of integrated solutions focusing on the elderly. Obviously this is a technological and social challenge and has triggered the initiative of ISISEMD project, which is described in this paper.
