  1. AMbient SECure Environmentsfor the Elderly(AMSEC) 15th January 2007 Prof. Phil Moore prmoore@dmu.ac.uk Mechatronics Research Centre De Montfort University Leicester, UK

  2. Mechatronics Research Centre (MRC), De Montfort University (DMU), UK • DMU based in Leicester (UK), with some 20,000 students, 500 PhD students & some 500 research active academic staff. • MRC Specialisms: eHome/Smarthome technology & services; service delivery platforms for connected homes; mass customisation concept/technology for individual needs. • Involved in EU Framework research programmes and national research schemes since 1994 • Experience of authoring and leading a number of successful EU research projects within IST, Growth / NMP and Inco.

  3. Rationale • Current assistive technologies for the elderly • Demand some degree of life-style change • Most of them are “One-Size-Fits-All” design • Technology & related service tasks are tightly coupled and interoperability is almost non-existent • Elderly need assistive technologies to support their independence, not to be told how to live independently • Remote service delivery could offer efficient & cost effective solutions to improve the quality of life for elderly • Assistive technology environments require a “mass customisation” capability to suit individual needs – a vital factor for acceptance, enabling improved quality of life

  4. Proposal – Aim & Objectives • To develop an Ambient Secure Environment for the Elderly (AMSEC) to: • provide affordable and cost effective solutions for independent living • provide “TRUE” ambient assistance/support to extend their independence and well-being • act as an open service delivery platform to enable various service providers to deliver services remotely • support “Mix & Match”, “Mass Customisation” and “Choice” of service for both ‘service providers’ and the ‘elderly’
