5. IPAC Objectives
• Delivering a middleware and service creation environment for developing
embedded, intelligent, collaborative, context-aware services in mobile nodes.
• Relies on short range communications for the ad hoc realization of dialogs
among collaborating nodes.
• It’s capability is delivering highly innovative applications for mobile and
pervasive computing.
• IPAC is the embedded intelligence which relies on emerging knowledge
representation and reasoning schemes, allowing behavior self-adjustment.

11. QoL
• Qol: Quality of Life
• Duration: The project is in progress
• Total Budget: € no cost provided

Dufour (IPAL)

12. QoL Objectives
• Smart assistive home are yet to be
tackled because the choices made
by researchers in the laboratories
are not the ones they would have
made if they were developing for
real homes.
• This is where the project
differentiates itself critically from
the state of the art where the
major contributors to Ambient
Assistive Living (AAL) research are
focused on developing solutions
tailored for living laboratories.

13. HALP
• HALP: Healthcare and Autonomy of Living Place
• Duration: The project is in progress
• Total Budget: € no cost provided
• Project Partner: Mounir Mokhtari (IPAL & Institut Mines-Télécom),
Prof. Daniel RACOCEANU

14. HALP Objectives
• The ambition of VHP-inter@ctive is to demonstrate the economic viability of a
new service offer, around a mutualized platform, able to respond to the needs of
fragilized and dependent people, by remaining flexible enough to adapt to various
contexts.
• In particular, reinforcing the care on the life place, at home or in a nursing home
(EHPAD - établissement d'hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes), of
the people with chronic diseases, in their education, the risc prevention and their
healthcare, due to innovative teleservices represent a major challenge.
• All the actors of the value-added chain, to set-up a multi-regional adaptable
demonstrator, allowing its extension to other chronic pathologies and the
deployment to all regions of the French national territory.
• Focusing around the diabetes type 2 pathology, in constant and worrying
progression nowadays.

15. EU H2020 City4Age

16. EU H2020 city4age
• City4Age will enable Ambient Assisted Cities helping older people dealing with mild
cognitive impairment or frailty maintain their independence for longer.
• Leveraging on unobtrusive collection of more (and more frequent) data on individual
behaviors, the project will facilitate the role of social and health services as well as family
and caregivers through early detection of risks and design of effective interventions.
• detecting risks related to other health type problems,
• stimulating and providing incentives to remain active, involved and engaged,
• creating an ecosystem for multi-sided market by matching needs and their
fulfillments,
• contributing to the design and operation of the ultimate Age-friendly City, where
the city itself provides support for detecting risks and providing interventions to
those affected by mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and frailty.
