Trans-European - MonAMI Project
From Capsil Wiki
- Objectives - The objective of the MonAMI project is to demonstrate that accessible, useful services for elderly and disabled persons living at home can be delivered in mainstream systems and platforms. The stated main contribution of MonAMI will be ... "The main innovation of the MonAMI project lies in demonstrating how a complex mix of technologies, many of them so far only validated under laboratory conditions can be brought together in a socially and economically viable way to facilitate inclusive access for elderly and disabled citizens". The project does not focus on technology development, but on integration and adaptation of already available devices to form overall systems.
- Details - The technology platforms are derived from standard technology. They will integrate elements such as reliable self-organizing networks, wearable devices, user interaction technology, monitoring capability and service infrastructures that ensure Quality of Service, Reliability and Stability and Privacy & Security. The services will be delivered on mainstream devices and services such as Digital-TV, Third-Generation Mobile Telephones, and Broadband Internet. To facilitate use and user interaction, MonAMI will develop an innovative interface, involving an embodied Conversational Agent.
