PROJECT PARTNERSHIP
SEARCH
MKS has been
seeking partnership in its own proposals and/or proposals prepared by
others.
Telerehabilitation of patients after lower limb
amputation or stroke
 An innovative approach for the implementation of
individual programs of
telerehabilitation at a patient’s home will be introduced, including
remote
support and monitoring using desktop videoconference. Multimedia
content
composed of various exercises and activities will be recorded.
Individualised
multimedia rehabilitation content will be available on-line to the
patients using
tablet PCs (Apple iPad). Every patient will be treated by a
therapist/specialist remotely on a weekly basis using a video call
(Skype) on
the iPad. During the virtual visit the patient will be assessed
remotely;
he/she will demonstrate the activities and will be corrected if needed,
also by
additional instructions. The service will be introduced at the
Ljubljana Rehab
Institute for patients waiting for a “standard” rehabilitation at the
Rehab
Institute after an amputation as a
intensive
preparation programme.
Efficient communications for independent living of
elderly people in domestic environment by using ICT based communication
service
 The proposed project will develop
supportive ICT environment that will empower already existing groups of
elderly, volunteers and carers. The project aims at providing a service
that
would enable multi-point communication through video-conferences on
home IPTVs. This way tele-presence at
meetings or virtual
meetings will be possible. The service will facilitate and augment
communication and so empower the elderly people (primary users), the
volunteers
and family carers (secondary users) in their interaction.
Within the proposed project a communication service
model will be developed, piloted and validated and promoted in 4
countries
involving 125 users. The service will be based on already available ICT
solutions upgraded with major technological enhancements in user
interfaces to
video-conferencing that would be simple for all elderly people. Data on
user
and system events will be collected for later analysis of social
interactions.
It is expected that data analysis will bring an innovative knowledge on
how to
discover communication pathways in order to improve the model and the
communication within such and similar social networks aiming at
designing also
a business model. The project is demand driven and deploys and upgrades
some
available solutions to offer a new service to the already existing user
groups.
After the project end the proposed service will be
available to other groups as well that want to boost communication and
enable
tele-presence to their members e.g. NGOs, faith groups, fan clubs...
This way
the grow of new social networks will be facilitated.
