Abstract

Demographic and epidemiologic transitions have brought a new health care paradigm with the presence of both growing elderly population and chronic diseases. Life expectancy is increasing as well as the need for long-term care . Institutional care for the aged population faces economical struggles with low staffing ratios and consequent quality problems. The RADIO project develops an integrated smart home /assistant robot system, pursuing a novel approach to acceptance and unobtrusiveness: a system where sensing equipment is not discrete but an obvious and accepted part of the user’s daily life.
