Project

"Little Sister" low-cost monitoring for care

Many elderly citizens, even though affected by chronic disabilities, wish to retain their autonomy and enjoy their own home for as long as possible. This determines the need for Electronics and ICT systems capable of detecting alarming situations that require intervention, or collecting data to anticipate complications in domestic health care. For professional help this acts as a strong support tool. The Little Sister project will research, implement and demonstrate low-cost autonomous technology to provide protection and assistance to elderly citizens.
