Ubiquitous eHealth Solution for Fracture Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

欧洲人的寿命更长、更健康，这是一项伟大的成就。另一方面，人口老龄化带来了重大的财政和社会挑战。到2050年，居住在欧洲的人中有四分之一(25%)的年龄可能在65岁以上。欧洲较长的预期寿命对医疗保健构成了严重挑战，即各种疾病的发病率不断增加，以及老年人最容易患上的健康状况。后一种情况是骨折，这通常是骨质疏松症的结果。此外，骨折恢复过程中相关并发症的后果包括不仅对患者而且对整个欧洲社会的进一步费用。为了解决这种日益增长的问题，Robust的多学科联盟将其视为一个具有挑战性的用例，以展示智能移动电子健康系统作为创新解决方案的相关性和熟练程度，以解决我们老龄化社会中激增的问题。ROBUST的目标是开发一个新的概念和平台，用于在电子健康领域远程监控患者的康复过程。将利用基于射频的传感技术的最新进展来设计一个综合的移动电子健康系统，该联盟正在研究这一技术。该系统将能够以可靠和节能的方式对动态和复杂的情况做出迅速反应，同时保持控制、安全和隐私。这个强大的系统将包括一个快速反馈环路，该环路动态处理感知信息，从而生成对患者的指令，包括认知和学习能力。Robust致力于为移动电子健康领域的员工交流创建一个跨学科和跨部门的特殊网络，即以结构培训和知识共享为目标，以增强欧洲在相关电子健康系统和应用方面的创新能力

The population in Europe is living longer and healthier, and that is a great achievement. On the other hand, an ageing population raises major financial and social challenges. One in four (25%) persons living in Europe could be aged 65+ by 2050. The greater expectancy of life in Europe is posing serious challenges to healthcare, namely through the associated increasing incidence of various diseases, as well as health conditions, which the elderly are mostly prone. One of the latter conditions is bone fractures, which can typically occur as a consequence of osteoporosis. Furthermore, the consequences of associated complications in fracture recovering include further costs, not only for the patient but also for the European society in general. To address such growing issue, the multidisciplinary consortium of ROBUST takes this as a challenging use case for demonstrating the relevance and proficiency of smart mobile eHealth systems as innovative solutions to address surging issues in our ageing society.ROBUST targets developing a new concept and platform for remote monitoring of patients' healing process, in the eHealth domain. An integrated mobile eHealth system will be devised exploiting recent advances in RF-based sensing technologies, which are being investigated in this consortium. The system will be able to respond promptly to dynamic and complex situations, while preserving control, safety and privacy, in a reliable and energy efficiency manner. The ROBUST system will include a fast feedback loop that dynamically processes sensing information to generate, accordingly, instructions to the patient, encompassing cognitive and learning capabilities as well. ROBUST is committed to create an exceptional network, which is multidisciplinary and intersectoral in nature, for staff exchange in the mobile eHealth field, namely targeting structure training and knowledge sharing towards enhancing the European innovation capacity in relevant eHealth systems and applications
