The PERSSILAA project coordinated by Miriam Vollenbroek from the Telemedicine Group at the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, is one of the 25 most influential projects on the field of ‘ICT for Active and Healthy Aging’ according to a new study from the European Commission.
In the study the societal impact of EU-funded Research and Innovation in technology for active and healthy ageing was analysed.
This project aimed at developing Personalised ICT Supported Service for Independent Living and Active Ageing. This service enables screening for and prevention of frailty: an elevated risk of vulnerability for age related decreasing health.
PERSSILAA innovates the way our care services are organised; from fragmented, reactive disease management into preventive, personalised services that are offered through local community services and telemedicine technology. The technical service infrastructure that is developed support these services, is efficient, reliable, easy to use way and therefore makes use of gamification, interoperability and clinical decision support. At the moment the services developed are being scaled up in our region under the umbrella of Vitaal Twente (www.vitaaltwente.nl)
