Potential for learning or transfer
This practice could be transferred to other regions thanks to a number of success factors:
• The approach of carrying out personalised projects by assessing the needs of each older person, considering their fragility, and involving healthcare professionals enables specific ADAPTATION TO INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
• The use of home automation, advanced remote assistance, and AI represents a MODERN TECHNOLOGICAL approach to ensure the safety and well-being of the seniors.
• The availability of an application that allows relatives to monitor remotely and access all relevant information offers a FAMILY SUPPORT dimension.
• The integration of AI to ANALYSE sensor data and PREDICT potential risks constitutes a proactive approach. This use of AI may inspire other territories to explore similar solutions.
• The creation of an EXTRANET PORTAL for project monitoring, consolidating various information such as daily activities, alerts, and health data, provides a centralised and transparent approach.
