2 1. Older adults using ICT 2. Technologies, used by health care professionals, to enhance quality of care and health 3. Advanced ICT to support & enable independent living

3 1. Older adults using ICT Issues relating to: accessibility universal design lifelong learning use and acceptance of technology impacts on quality of life and social participation

4 2. Technologies, used by healthcare professionals, to enhance quality of care and health outcomes for seniors Electronic health records Wireless care management E- referral E- prescribing Clinical decision support systems

5 Telehealth in the Home Provide virtual health consultations Provide information and support to rural and remote staff Video conferencing, broadband PCs, TVs

7 Delivery of health & social care using ICT Physiological monitoring - continuous or periodic - pulse rate, blood pressure, sweating, respiration rate, temperature Supporting ADLs - mobility, falls, room occupancy, person location Making environm ent safe & suitable - room temperature, noise, power consumption, flooding, security alarm s etc Physiologic al signals Movement /Activity signals

8 Soci al inclusion Safety & security monitoring eg bath overflowing, water left running, gas left on, door unlocked Mitigate risk Information provision eg health advice, triage, access to self- help groups Individual in their home or wider environment Personal monitoring eg physiological signs, ADLs Improve functionality Electronic assistive technology eg environmental controls, automatic doors, control of beds

9 Intelligent buildings / Home based monitoring Monitor health and well- being at home Behavioural monitoring system which enables & supports independence Foster prevention and early detection of the onset of disease or disability Sen sor t ag s on everyday objects to monitor and manage ADLs Monitoring sensors: in clothing, on body, in sheets, in shoes (vital signs, gait etc)

10 Sensor Network Senses the location of people and objects in the home. The network uses a combination of motion sensors, cameras, contact switches, magnetic switches, andradio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. Sensor tags on everyday objects to monitor and manage ADLs sensors on toothbrush analyses sensor data from drawers, medicine cabinets, pill bottles - wherever medications are stored - and delivers timely reminders via cell phone, TV, or whatever device is preferred or nearby.

11 Home Network Allows a household to interact through televisions, clock radios, and telephones. To get reminders and prompts from the system. Accessed through the Internet, enabling carers to check in remotely.

12 Monitoring sensors: in clothing, body, sheets, in shoes to monitor vital signs sensors in footwear to detect changes in gait that couldleadtoafall inbuilt GPS to capture diagnostic and behavioral data and feedback to nursing staff Cyberjacket linked to visual aids Optical and conductive fibres in the "Smart Shirt" allow it to monitor the wearer's vital signs.

13 Social Isolation , Internet, Digital cameras 'Smart' photo- frames Consequences of technology eg Internet fridge Reduce functional impact of physical and cognitive impairment Lights that come on when you get up out of bed Memory Enhancement CDs Home network - allows a household to interact through TVs, clock radios, phones Reminders and prompts from the system GPS watches Phones with 'Caller ID on steroids'

15 A demonstration project to enable older Australians to experience a living environment that meets their needs for high living standards while maximising their function, enhance capacity for independent living & increase safety. demonstrates how simple renovations, in conjunction with the installation of innovative, reliable technologies can evolve perceptions of ageing in place. tours; open to public education centre R&D lab

16 Technology in the home includes: Smart wiring (IP network) Phone (video phone) Personal alarm unit Personal pendant Fall detector Bed occupancy sensor Chair occupancy sensor Epileptic seizure alarm Healthcare TVx unit (monitor blood pressure, blood sugar levels etc & send results to GP)
