The FRAIL platform is an interoperable, secure and open solution that empowers pre-fragile and fragile citizens through a non-intrusive sensing of activity and environmental conditions in the home context.
The FRAIL platform is a suite of 3 elements: a personal and home sensing system, an intervention system for care professionals and a gamification system for physical exercise devoted to elderly people. These three elements can be delivered separately or combined to support the treatment of frailty conditions.
Frailty is a condition prior to disability with a high predictive value of admission to hospital, falls and death.
RTH is a solution based on the use of wearable devices to remotely assess and monitor patients with chronic conditions in real time. Zerintia, the RTH service developer, allows clinicians to gather data from patients and, where required, direct them to appropriate medical resources such as doctors/hospitals. RTH Also provides the patient with relevant information and instructions from qualified medical staff. The three main pillars for assessing and monitoring are related to pharmaceuticals, daily habits and vital signs.
A Care Collaborative Network tool (SoCo-Net). This is a standalone tool/component, supporting services for collaboration and active communication between the frail patient and his/her formal and informal carers as well as personalised and continuous care and support.
These services are based on the gamification environment and an avatar based application that allows the framework to interact with the frail user and empower his/her life, skills and sociability through smart-TV, tablet and the smart-watch usage.
