"SILVER" - Introduction and project status. Background: Odense is Denmark s third largest city with 190.000 inhabitants and the advantageous location in the heart of Denmark, which makes Odense a great meeting point. 10.a.m. The SILVER project searches for new technologies to assist elderly people in their everyday lives. By the use of robotics or other related technologies, the elderly can continue independent living at home even if they have physical or cognitive disabilities. The new technologies and solutions are sought by using a Pre- Commercial Procurement (PCP) process. In Europe, the PCP has so far been an under-utilized tool for promoting innovation. One of the aims of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach to address societal and governmental needs. Odense Municipality and the Region of Southern Denmark are both partners in the project consortium.

The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute WS 1: Minimal invasive surgery (Thiusius Rajeeth Savarimuthu). The coming university hospital in Odense will ensure 714 somatic beds, which is a reduction of beds by almost 35 % compared to 2012. At the same time, it is expected that the number of patients will increase in the coming years and the group of elderly requiring more treatment will increase relatively. Implementation of new technology into hospitals is one of the means to cope with these challenges. Minimal invasive surgery using robots is one of the technologies that reduces the length of the hospital stay and thereby increases the capacity of the wards and operating theatres. At the moment, the numbers of surgical procedures conducted using robots are limited the research on robotic surgery can make an impact in this area and lead to a further reduction of the hospital stay for surgical patients. WS 2: Technologies for training and rehabilitation (Richard Bech and Anders Bøgild). The aim of these research and development activities is to develop concepts and technologies that motivate and support patients in their training by use of monitoring devices, interactive collaborative systems, and play-ware with competitive options and social challenges. Technology assisted training at home will be studied in randomized controlled trials making evidence to show the effectiveness and clinical relevance of the methods. WS 3: Data representations, standards and open system infrastructure. There is a need for generic software support to structure and merge the data representation across standards, and ease the use and integration in system developments. Some components for building an open infrastructure for health are available, but holistic approaches to develop the software ecosystems also allowing third party developers to easily integrate new innovative health applications with the national EHR solutions and primary care, are still lacking for the visions of integrated health enterprises to evolve. The research targets new innovative software engineering principles based on multi-agent techniques that in combination with the work on data representation will provide a platform for such a software ecosystem. Institute of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics WS 4: imo Learn - Physical activity and health movement and learning in the classroom through interactive school furniture (Lars Elbæk). WS 5: Sedentariness, physical activity and health concerning elderly people: joint or independent effects?
