SMART HEALTH PROGRAM Founded in 2011 Main research topics: Personal Health Care Tele-rehabilitation Preventive and Predictive Medicine Tele-monitoring and Teleassistance Staff: 8 Researchers (engineers, physicians, ergonomists) + students (Polito, Unito) Living Lab Methodology Copyright 2014 ISMB 3

VISION: PATIENT EMPOWERMENT Patient information Patient control Patient participation Link between patient and his/her understanding of health information Relationship between the patient and the management of his/her condition Relationship between patient and health professionals Full patient involvement in health Copyright 2014 ISMB 4

RESEARCH AND COMPETENCES Smart Health Program aims at: developing components for the development of «regional» e- health solutions promoting development, dissemination of reference solutions (Molinette, Mauriziano, CTO.projects) providing solutions able to address healthcare and/or social care needs; solutions based on PHS (Personal Health System) model. This approach recognises needs and concerns of all stakeholders (patients, professionals, healthcare providers, regional and national institutions.) providing features for patient empowerment providing features for interoperability between PHS solutions and Personal Health Record (PHR) (CTO project) Copyright 2014 ISMB 5

RESEARCH: ISMB PHS 4x4 MONITORING SOLUTION at home Internet of Things Service center Personal Health Systems (PHS) assist in the provision of continuous, quality controlled, and personalised health services to empowered individuals regardless of location. PHS consist of: Diseases monitoring (audio, video,data, usable interface..) Telediagnosis IoT platform Intelligent processing of the acquired information Active feedback from health professionals or directly from the devices to the individuals Copyright 2014 ISMB 6

RESEARCH: TELEREHABILITATION (OUTDOOR) Sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, Zigbee / BLE modules..) movement sensors used to estimate user's activity sensor for monitoring muscle activity Gateway:smartphone Movement analysis (walking ) Remote monitoring Bio feedback Copyright 2014 ISMB 7

RESEARCH: TELEREHABILITATION (INDOOR-KINECT) (I) The project address the needs of better quality of life of patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases: Parkinson Home based rehabilitation program provided by medical providers Terapist assigns home excercise; patient is monitored (by technology) during execercise and directly receives feedback by the system.

RESEARCH: PREVENTION (LIFESTYLE MONITORING) Obesity Stress Gateway (smartphone) Internet Service Centre (storage, analysis,..) Internet Inactivity Majority of the health risks and diseases in the modern world are related to lifestyles, e.g., overweight, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, sleep deprivation, and stress. The project considers three main risk factors such as: Obesity; The primary cause of obesity is an energy intake consistently greater than the energy used in everyday life. Stress is a state of anxiety, frustration and other unpleasant feelings caused by an individual s response to a specific situation Inactivity; regular exercise assists in controlling other risk factors such as blood pressure, obesity, and stress.

RESEARCH: PREVENTION (PREDICTIVE MEDICINE) Predictive medicine offers the possibility of detecting many common diseases that have a genetic basis. However, recent rapid advances in genomics and molecular biology are beginning to reveal a large number of possible new, genome-related, molecular markers for the presence of disease, susceptibility o disease, or differential response to treatment. Such markers can serve as the basis of new genomicsbased diagnostic tests for identifying and/or confirming disease, assessing an individual s risk of disease, identifying patients who will benefit from particular interventions, or tailoring dosing regimens to individual variations in metabolic response.

RESEARCH: INDOOR-OUTDOOR MONITORING (ELDERLY PEOPLE) Personal parameters skin temperature, heart beat rate, mobility Environmental parameters temperature, light, pressure System parameters removal from wrist, fault, radio coverage, battery level Emergency Button Base station for indoor indoor-outdoor solution Copyright 2014 ISMB 12

RESEARCH: KSERA (SERVICE ROBOT FOR AGEING PEOPLE) KSERA GOAL Development of a Knowledgeable Service Robot for Aging (KSERA) that will serve several related purposes for elderly persons in general and those with pulmonary disease in particular. Specifically KSERA provides mobile assistant to follow and monitor the health and behavior of a senior, useful communication (video, internet) services including needed alerts to caregivers and emergency personnel, a robot integrated with smart household technology to monitor the environment and advise the senior or caregivers of anomalous or dangerous situations. KSERA aims at an adaptive technical aid that will provide needed and useful services in a pleasant, easy to use format via a robot that also acts as a companion and assistant Copyright 2014 ISMB 13

RESEARCH: ALZHEIMER - DEMENTIA DISEASES Prototyped solutions for Wandering and at home monitoring AIMS: Favouring the stay at home and monitoring of people suffering from severe forms of Dementia and Alzheimer s disease, thanks to mobile internet services SONO QUI : (Here, I am) Personal Localization Web Based System: Place identification by GoogleMap website interface based on parent images Exit Detection: Enabling this functionality, when the patient goes out from the house, (acoustic Buzzer Alarm or SMS to caregivers.) Copyright 2014 ISMB 14

RESEARCH: FA.PRE. PROJECT (II) Automatic Video Processing Automatic segmentation and recognition of people in movies Two options An entirely internally developed tools Kinect platform The framework is being used for elderly assistance In collaboration with Reply and Associazione Centro Servizio Volontariato (Biella, Novara and Vercelli) Copyright 2014 ISMB 16

TRENDS: GENERAL ARCHITECTURE Overcoming fragmentation, modular solution, based on Future Internet services Cooperation with patient organisations, hospitals, academia Cooperation with SME, Large industries. PA Control Unit Future Internet Services: Internet of Things Personal/home Gateway IoT server near real time data communication publish/subscribe paradigm Zigbee, bluetooth, BLE Other Applications: Biodiagnosis Dementia diseases Copyright 2014 ISMB 17

TRENDS: LIVING LAB Co-creation Service improvement Evaluation Analysis (problems, needs, market,...) Ideation Brainstorming Focus group Interviews/questionnaires Codesign Service ideas Exploration Validation Data analysis Conclusions Professional/patient/provider evaluation Focus group Solution Set-up Lab test phase Rapid prototyping Mock-up Results analysis and conclusion Service results Living Lab Set up Experimentation Test phase Test bed/trials Data collection Hardware Software Service implementation Copyright 2014 ISMB 18

TRENDS: PCP AND PPI PCP: to support the development of solutions towards concrete public sector needs, whilst comparing/validating alternative solution approaches from various vendors PPI: to act as launching customer / early adopter / first buyer of innovative commercial end-solutions newly arriving on the market R&D / Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP) Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions (PPI) Phase 0 Curiosity Driven Research Phase 1 Solution design Supplier A Supplier B Supplier C Supplier D Phase 2 Prototype development Supplier B Supplier C Supplier D Phase 3 Original development of limited volume of first test products / services Supplier B Supplier D Phase 4 Deployment of commercial endproducts Diffusion of new developed products / services Supplier(s) A,B,C,D and/or X Pre-Commercial tender (WTO rules,state aid free, EU treaty not applicable) Tender for commercial deployment ( WTO rules, Procurement Directives applicable) Copyright 2014 ISMB 19

TRENDS: EIT OBJECTIVES EIT European Institute of Innovation and Technology aims at taking a holistic approach to innovation by an integrated vision of the three sides of the knowledge triangle innovation Objectives: New business creation through innovation The transfer and valorisation of higher education, research and innovation activities in a business context (the knowledge triangle) innovation-driven research in areas of key economic and societal interest Development of talented, skilled and entrepreneurial people through education and training activities Dissemination of best practices and systemic knowledge sharing higher education ISMB KIC interests: Ageing Food/Health research Copyright 2014 ISMB 20
