Kick-off meeting del progetto PHARA-ON

On 21 and 22 January 2020, the Piaggio Museum in Pontedera will host the PHArA-ON kick-off meeting, the European project funded from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, and coordinated by The BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna. The project involves 41 European partners and aims to experiment with ICT and robotics technologies in social and health services.
The scientific coordinator of the project is Filippo Cavallo.

A high-tech future for Europe’s elderly

By 2080, one in three Europeans will be over 65, increasing the demand for healthcare services. The demand for smart connected homes to support active aging and independent living solutions is also rapidly growing. The EU-funded PHArA-ON project will maximise the use of advanced services, devices, and tools – from IoT, artificial intelligence and robotics to cloud computing, smart wearables, Big Data and intelligent analytics. Its aim is to create a set of integrated and highly customisable interoperable open platforms. Platform interoperability will be implemented within Pharaon ecosystems and platforms, which will be validated in two stages: pre-validation and large-scale pilots (LSPs) conducted at pilot sites in Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain (Murcia and Andalusia).
