An ISABEL2009 (IEEE-sponsored conference) paper/poster about eCAALYX vs. our previous FP6 CAALYX project. Highlights how the new eCAALYX project is different than/complementary to CAALYX in the areas of chronic conditions and homecare.
Kamel Boulos MN and the eCAALYX Project Consortium. An Enhanced Ambient Assisted Living Experiment for Older People with Multiple Chronic Conditions. Presented at: 2nd International Symposium on Applied Sciences in Biomedical and Communication Technologies (ISABEL 2009), Bratislava, Slovak Republic, 24-27 November 2009 - <URL: http://www.isabel2009.sk/files/webprogram.pdf> (see conference programme > poster session)
Abstract—The new European-funded eCAALYX project (Enhanced Complete Ambient Assisted Living Experiment—June 2009 - May 2012) is building on the strengths and experience acquired in the original CAALYX project (2007-2008). It takes the 24/7 monitoring of the health and wellbeing of healthy older people that was developed in CAALYX (with special emphasis on outdoors/mobile scenarios) one step further by refining it and making it available to older people with multiple chronic conditions (with additional strong emphasis on home-based care and lifestyle management components).
