Increasingly fast aging population is set to challenge health and care systems. Current care models are proving to be inappropriate and unsustainable. This situation is clearly calling for new care & assistance paradigms.

The UNCAP project (Ubiquitous iNteroperable Care for Ageing People) will address such a fast-evolving scenario through the development of an open, scalable and privacy-savvy ICT infrastructure designed to help aging people (including those with mild cognitive impairments) live independently and with dignity.In particular, it will leverage on an ecosystem of biosensors and indoor & outdoor localisation solutions to deliver an infrastructure capable to continuously monitor and assist users in a non-invasive way.

Furthermore, UNCAP will allow accurate monitoring of user’s state (physical & cognitive), and also creating a range of brand new services designed to stimulate healthier lifestyle and more active aging process. To this extent, the ultimate goal of is to extend the duration of high-quality life of aging, frail, and cognitive impaired citizens by helping them achieve higher autonomy, independence, and dignity.

To do so, UNCAP uses state-of-art physical/cognitive assessment tools together with technologies to locate objects, devices and users within indoor/outdoor spaces, to continuously monitor users in a non-invasive way and to assist them in case alert conditions are detected.
