Resumen
ACTIVAGE is a HORIZON 2020 project aiming to prolong and support the independent living of older adults in their living
environments and responding to real needs of caregivers, service providers and public authorities, through the deployment of innovative and user-led large scale pilots across nine Deployment Sites in seven European countries based on the IoT technologies. This way, ACTIVAGE will build the first European interoperable and open IoT ecosystem, reusing and scaling up underlying open and proprietary IoT platforms, technologies and standards, needed to provide interoperability across heterogeneous IoT platforms that will enable the deployment and operation at large scale of Active & Healthy Ageing to based solutions and services. The project will assess the socio-economic impact, the benefits of IoT-based smart living environments in the quality of life and autonomy of older citizens, and in the sustainability of the health and social care systems, demonstrating the seamless capacity of integration and interoperability of the built IoT ecosystem, and validating new business, financial and organizational models for care delivery, ensuring the sustainability after the project end, and disseminating these results to a worldwide audience. Technical interoperability of IoT platforms, Qualified Key Performance Indicators, profitable and innovative Business Models, Advanced service policies guidelines, appropriate regulatory framework, smart living services, implementation of nine large pilots, social innovation paradigms, for the ACTIVAGE project are not the final goals, but the basis to achieve the overall ACTIVAGE objective: the implementation a strategic reference sustainable ecosystem able to foster a strategic market growth of smart living solutions based on IoT and to promote quality of life of older people in Europe. Such a reference framework will go beyond the actual project consortium composition attracting new members and reference sites within the so called ¿enlarged ACTIVAGE framework¿.
