Inauguration of the trail SMART CO-CARE within the Smart Systems Hub

The visit of three scientists from 5Groningen Labs (Netherlands) inaugurated on September 24th in2018  the trail "SMART CO-CARE" within the Smart Systems Hub.

"SMART CO-CARE“ is a trail demonstrating sample solutions for problems arising from demographic changes (e.g. shortage of doctors/nurses in rural regions) and from an increase in recognizing diversity (such as a trend towards a more individual, independent and self-determined life). The team for this trail studies and develops innovative, networked prototypes for provision of care at home, aiming at the needs of the elderly, people with a chronic illness, and people with a disability. This trail offers a first-hand experience to demonstrations of mobile assistive systems, risk detection, determination of vital parameters, room automation, remote controlled, haptic as well as accessible procedures and many more for its visitors. In the near future this will be implemented in a compact, physical research and innovation space (= Living Lab), allowing collaborative research of partners from a variety of disciplines as well as other stakeholders for a communicative, interdisciplinary cooperation for future joint innovations. Until then, labs of all consortium members make up the stops of this trail.
